Remember my cousin and his beebee bride?

[cbwm1]

They got married a month after she graduated from HS, are on welfare, hate the homos and love guns.

He posted on FB a few weeks ago that they got her test results back and she has PCOS. This was the post. (They share a FB account, btw.)



So, I was like (this is the condensed, canned version - my actual response was much nicer), listen. I have PCOS. The diagnosis sucks but this doesn't mean you can have children. I had Will without intervention, lots of people have kids with medication. Grieve the diagnosis and then think positively.

Everyone was all like, it's in god's hands! We're praying that you'll get through this difficult time!

So now she's on Pinterest pinning all sorts of adoption shit. Because, you know, they don't have a pot to piss in but they're looking into adoption.

ALSO. They got a puppy a few months ago, then she posted a picture of the dog on some like "free or trade" FB page in her area because the dog is way too much work. So they gave her away to some stranger.

They did the same with a cat last winter.

Oh lord. Can't handle a puppy. A kid sounds like an excellent idea.... YIKES

There is so much wrong here, all I can say is 

[VeryViolet]

What is wrong with people and oversharing on Facebook. I guarantee you there is a pregnancy announcement on Facebook within 6 months. You know what happens to people particularly young people who have PCOS and think they can't get pregnant, they get pregnant by accident.

I have PCOS it sucks but I don't post about my ovulating in Facebook.

[lissaholly]

I was just thinking how Pinterest gives you a real insight to people that is less projected than FB. God's hands! Miracles! Welp, God won't work soooo-Adoption!

That is a frustrating read. I read a whole rant about Obamacare making insurance mandatory for healthy people who don't need it, the other day. In the same post this person listed all the health problems she had. Frustrating!

There's just so much WTF about their entire situation.

And something that I am *still* bitter about almost a year and a half later?

We drove 10 hours one way to go to their wedding in 1000 degree heat with 100000000% humidity on a farm in the middle of rice patties and I got 60+ chigger bites and did their wedding photography FOR FREE and never got a fucking thank you note. Fuck them.

We share BIL and SIL it seems.

Do you remember my post about the baby shower where we were only allowed to buy brand name. Baby gap or polo.

They are having my inlaws pay their bills because SHOCKINGLY they are beyond broke.

WHUT

This must have happened during my hiatus, because I don't remember it.

The dog part is the most infuriating. Not that the other stuff isn't also.

Lol. I was flamed because I disagreed. Flamed!

I maintain that I was right.

I also maintain that you were right and I don't even know the full story. lol

Someone my age on FB was vague posting about "receiving a diagnosis no 26 year old should ever have to hear" and "Prayer warriors, I really need your prayers today".

She finally posts months later- it's Crohn's Disease. Which does suck and everything but.... Yeah. She's got prayer warriors.

DH and I are infuriated about the dog. Had we been closer, we might have taken her in.

The positive blood test for PCOS is sure interesting, since there isn't one.

This is what I was wondering. I have PCOS. I don't remember a specific blood test. Lots of u/s though.

Well, I know when I was getting my diagnosis, there was bloodwork combined with u/s. Checking for hormone levels or something?

MWOS would be able to give is a definitive answer on this.

[MWOS]

positive blood test for PCOS is a really stupid thing to say

there is no PCOS blood test

you can test FSH and LH and progesterone etc, and results that are outside the normal limits may indicate PCOS. But they also may indicate something else. That's why you do an ultrasound.

There is no blood test that will come back positive to say you have PCOS. Doctors run a battery of bloodwork to check for things related to PCOS, and basically to rule out other diseases. PCOS diagnosis is one of elimination, not positive determination. The wording of that FB post is just strange, that's all.

This is basically what the RE told me too. He also said that many women particularly young women (I can't remember if he said under 25 or 30) have ovaries that look "polycystic" without having any PCOS symptoms or actually having PCOS. He basically said there had to be a combination of bloodwork, ultrasound, symptoms consistent with PCOS, and then elimination of many other diagnoses to determine if you have it.
