What You're Made Of

I'm just gonna be brief because a celebration is in order tonight. (you'll know later)

Today, I had my chromosomes result (finally!! yay!!).. And it was indeed a yay too!!.. After waiting for a whole-freaking day (due to miscommunication on my appointment), it was all worth it actually. To hear the doctor saying, "...everything is fine and normal.. You are fine and normal.."

I mean, not that I am not but the test that was done was to actually verify the cause of my POF. And my results proved positive:-

+ 48 XX chromosomes in tact
+ negative on Fragile X and Turner's Syndrome

So, basically it is all okay. I am all okay. Whats not so okay is that they and I still does not know on what causes my POF. Doc said we could do more tests like test on my enzymes, tissues etc but we both concur that it is not necessary. I mean, as long as we know that the major causes are now negatives, we can look forward to the future right?

Another good news is that, because everything else is fine with my body (and me), Doctor now recommended for a yearly checkup instead of every 3monthly. And oh! I am slated for a Bone Mass Density (BMD) testing in May 2008 however. And oh! I have started taking my Meliane (birth control pill) and Calcium pills recently and thus far, I have not seen any changes yet as in physiologically or physically. Though emotionally, I am feeling calmer and taking a step at a time.

And thats what Im choosing to do now. I accepted that its all God's will and for some reason He chose me to go through this challenge so I accept His challenge and I'm gonna go through with it.

I remember a quote that says.. "..celebrate each small steps.." (or something like that)

Wohoo!!!!

Those are AWESOME news!!!...
I remember how afraid I was when I finally got my karyotype results... I had the envelope in my hands for almost an hour without opening it.

I am soooo happy for you!
