Introduction
Something we always see or read or hear during those "meetings" are having to acknowledge our problem. It is said that through acknowledgement, comes acceptance and moving on. So, allow me to introduce myself or rather this blog.
My name is Siti and I am recently diagnosed with "Pre-Mature Ovarian Failure". This blog describes mostly on my experience, feelings, thoughts as I now venture on this path of the unknown.
When I first came to know that I may be diagnosed with a "Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)", I quickly searched the net for more information as well as for support groups, as I'm sure there must be. To my dismay, I can't seem to find any from our local community and that gives me a feeling of lost. When I went back to the clinic a few months later, I searched for brochures but all I could find is information regarding "Menopause" and a support group for that group.
I finally have the courage to pursue this as I now have more information about it. And I very much hope through relating of this experience, I could get to know of others who are like me and gain some insights on what they have gone through or are going through, to learn from them etc. And who knows, we may even have our own "groupie".. Hehehe..
There's a saying, "We don't understand because we don't know. And we don't know because we are not aware." So, I also hope through doing this, people would become more aware especially the young readers who may be facing a similar situation like me but afraid to act, would now act on the matter rather than letting it slide or be non-chalant about it..
So that's done.. Lets walk down my memory lane, shall we?.. *wink*

I just happened to stumble upon your blog while blog hopping. I'm astounded at what you have gone through and are still coping with. You are very brave, and it is admirable that you keep such a public record of your illness and your coping strategies, which I'm sure would be a great source of support and solace to women in Singapore with the same condition. I wish you all the best, and hope that you stay healthy. :)
