    • Hug

      From Vicsta November 13

      Sending you a big hug! Well for you and the babbie. I just saw your status... you can talk to me if you need to.

      Also I was reading your journal entry the other night and some of it resounded with me. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19/20 and it was around the time that a lot of my symptoms that I had since a child either worsened or I got new ones. It's hard to look back and see how your childhood was totally altered by something out of your control and not in a positive way. I work so hard to not let myself be bitter about it and not let myself get consumed by looking back, but it's really difficult and sometimes I just want to give into the pain and hurt I feel. Having things to keep your mindset in the present and the future helps so much I think.

      Hi Long lost twin :-) Welcome to the group, it's been a great support for me over the last few months. You have a beautiful little boy, which gives me such hope that maybe one day i will be able to add to my family. You have had a hard journey but im glad to hear you have found someone to love and care for you now, how lucky we are really. our stories are very similar, great to see someone else feeling the same feelings, at least now we know we're not mad lol

      Hi fellow Vicky/Vikki :o)

      Thanks for adding me as a friend. If you are interested, then please read my journal, you will get up to speed on where I am at: am basically awaiting an endo appointment to test for acromegaly.

      Your little baby looks so cute. I'm loving the pics! Keep them coming.
