This is the first time I've ever been less than a week from the marathon and not known if I was actually going to be able to run it. I've been having some issues for a while with my "girly" parts. I mentioned my trouble to my PCP when I had my annual in March. She took some blood and wasn't sure what the trouble was so she referred me on to a GYN who I finally got to see on Friday. She did her exam, took some blood, and scheduled an ultrasound for Wednesday. I should know then if it will be safe for me to run the marathon.
I really am scared to even type this, but she said her best guess at what is going on with me before she sees the blood tests and ultrasound results is PCOS or Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome. I've read a bit about this and I really really don't think this is what's wrong. I don't know if I'm in denial or if I'm just being stubborn, but I just don't think this is it. I guess we'll see. For now I get to wait.

I've been so wrapped up in my own drama, I completely forgot about your "girly part" problem. Good luck Wednesday & I'll call you. Hopefully you'll be able to run the marathon - you've trained soooo hard!
You are in my prayers Amber. I hope you still get to run...
