Salam. Everyone wants to be healthy. According to WHO, health was defined as being "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". I guess we're blessed if we're healthy without having any medical disorder.
I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in 2004. It's my 2nd year of marriage. I didn't expect that but I started to wonder. Am I mentally ready to accept that it's going to be difficult for me to conceive? What about my husband? Can he accept my true condition? I had two choices, either to go for minor operation (as my right ovary was in bad condition) or to take pills. I choose NONE.
I called my mum in tears as I felt sad. She said, "It's ok. Balik ke Kuching dolok and we'll figure out what to do ok." Thanks mum. I luv you so much.
I started to do reading and searching for PCOS. I learnt to accept PCOS in me. I live with PCOS and there is no cure for it.
Generally, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects approximately 5% of all women. It occurs among all races and nationalities, also the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age (12-45years old), and is a leading cause of infertility.

As there is no cure for it, I changed my diet. I started to consume healthy meals everyday. Eating more fruits and drink more water. My mum gave me 'air rempah kampung'. Very bitter in taste but very good for my body. I also go for traditional Malay massage once a month. Not forgetting my exercise routine everyday. I still remember my weight drop nicely every month and as a result, I get slimmer! Very very slim!
My mum also gave me Liquid Spirulina as my extra supplement. It's in berry taste and very delicious. But so sad it's very difficult to find this product nowadays.
I was confirmed pregnant with my lil' Muhammad in 2005. Right after our honeymoon in Langkawi Island. Alhamdulillah! Still remember my husband's question when I did the first pregnancy test. "Sayang, why there are two lines on your pregnancy test?"
I know he's very excited and we're both very happy. After I delivered my lil' Muhammad, I told him, "Honestly, I don't know whether we'll be blessed with another child or not. This might the first or the last delivery I had."
Alhamdulillah! I had my 2nd delivery (early this year) after my lil' Muhammad turned 4 years old. It's our 7th year of wedding too. Our lil' baby Iman Najiha is a gift from Allah S.W.T. for us. I'd never expect I'll get pregnant again. Syukur kepada Allah S.W.T. Yang Maha Kaya Lagi Maha Pengasihani!
Sometimes, it makes me think, why certain people reluctant to try or to explore other options. I came across several ladies who are having PCOS too. But I wonder, why they just wait for the miracle? It's good to explore rather than just waiting. Not only to upgrade our health condition but it's great for our personal appearance too.
Money should be the encouragement not the disappointment. A beautiful lady once told me, "It's too expensive to buy supplement and I don't have time to exercise".
So I told her,"If supplement is too expensive, you can opt for healthy diet. If you don't have time to exercise, you can adjust your time and can even exercise in your own bedroom".
Well, the decision is ours. Life is like having a big circle around us. Day by day, the circle will getting smaller and smaller. It's our decision to fight for it and make it bigger or to let the circle getting smaller and tighter. What is your choice?
