Hello!

Hello random internet people reading this!  My name is Melissa, I am 32 and I have girlie issues.

Now it's your turn..."Hi, Melissa!"

Thanks, everyone, I feel so welcome now.

OK, enough of that silliness...
As I was saying I have, in trite words, girlie issues...basically every bit of my body that is a part of me being a woman has problems.  I decided to start blogging and vlogging about it all as a way to accept and hopefully heal and deal with what life has handed me.  I have endometriosis, poly cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), have had cervical cancer (clean for 5 years now!), have had two miscarriages and a ruptured interstitial ectopic pregnancy.  I have undergone 6 surgeries and several other abdominal procedures.  Yup, my body is not always my friend, it is sometimes the worst enemy I can imagine but it's the only one I've got.  I thought maybe if I shared my stories and experiences it would help me and maybe help others that are in similar situations.

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.  If you don't want to share your question publicly then please email me.  I don't claim to be any sort of expert but I am a good listener and I will be honest with you.  I think the hardest part of having gynecological and fertility problems is the feeling of not being able to talk about them.  I know I have often felt very misunderstood and judged and I'm sure I'm not the only one.  I have felt isolated and alone in my struggles and I don't want myself or anyone else to feel that way.  So, here I go, I'm going to talk and not hide anymore.  I'm going to share the good as well as the bad.  I hope that is ok with all of you.
~Melissa
