This is the perfect out for you from that foolhardy declaration you regret having given me so long ago. You're just pretending to be disappointed to make me feel guilty, so that I won't suspect your true feelings. But I don't just suspect, Charles "IT Guy" Robinson. I know. I KNOW.

I hate that the "what if you want to have babies?" argument gets used so much. Say I do have a momentary lapse in judgement some day and decide I want a kid; I'll appreciate the ovary-removal all the more once the feeling passes ten seconds later. I wonder how a male doctor would've handled that situation. If doctors were handing out ovary removals, I’d take one in a second.

A girl in one of my writing classes in college wrote a story about giving herself one with an overdose of vitamin C, so we could try that first if the coat hanger route doesn't appeal to you.

Trust me. I asked. When I found out I have polycystic ovaries, I asked if she couldn't just take them out, to which she responded, "No! What if you want to have children someday?" "Um, didn't you just say that PCOS is a genetic disease? So I would be passing this on to my children..." "Yes, but they can still have a full life like you!" "Uh...I wouldn't put my worst enemy through this, sorry." "Well, and if we remove your ovaries, you'll have to be on hormone therapy for the rest of your life!" "Didn't you say that the treatment for this is hormone therapy anyway?" Regardless how reasonable my arguments were, she still wouldn't be swayed. So in summary: ask Jesus. He's more likely to help you than your doctor. Maybe Jesus will take your ovaries, but OB/GYNs won’t. Trust me. I asked.
