PCOS sucks.
So, it has been exactly 7months since I've been diagnosed with PCOS.
I've had many many side affects as a result of it. I've experienced weight gain, acne, depression and irregular periods.
It scared me a little bit reading about the permanent serious effects of PCOS, one of them is the inability of having children.
At 21, you wouldn't really think that it'd be a problem.. In fact, it scares me. It scares me to think that there is a slight chance that I can't produce beautiful life.
I've started to track my periods again, I stopped tracking it before because it broke my heart when I realised that my period wasn't coming. Doctors claim that PCOS is easy to overcome. They're wrong.
I've tried various birth control pills, which only made matters worse. Attempted diets,
Herbal Medicine, exercise, detoxes.. Anything that could be thought of really.
The challenge is; Accepting yourself for what you are, accepting the way your body is changing and accepting the fact that you have PCOS..
I came on here originally as an attempt to track my cycles and find some motivational things but I realised that maybe.. I'll be able to seek out ones who've been through this and who are going through it. I've come here to feel less alone and more accepting of myself.
If you could share a thought or a piece of advice, what would it be?
