I feel like there's an Extreme Home Makeover joke in here...

Move that bus!

When I was a junior in high school, I was hit by a car, and in the process of finding out no bones were broken, a large cyst was found on my ovaries. I was diagnosed soon after with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and told that my very irregular periods and cysts would not completely go away, however, going on the pill would help. If I did not, I had the chance of damaging my ovaries and minimizing my chances of having children down the road. There are benefits to artificial hormones.
