PCOS: When did you get diagnosed?" /> I am curious because a lot of people seem to have found when TTC. That is how I got diagnosed as well. A lot of other things made more sense with the PCOS diagnosis, like my migraines, weight gain, and abnormal periods among other things.

I always had my monthly menstrual period BUT I struggled with lots of facial hair since puberty 😶. I used to wax my face once every 2-3 days. When I was 22 my boyfriend at the time (now husband) paid for me to get lasik hair removal. The treatment didn't work .Lasik specialist told me to go in to my doctor and get my hormone check. I took her advice and I did. I went in to the doctor, they did testing and i was diagnosed with Pcos . I have the uncommon symptoms from Pcos that is called hirsutism. The doctor at the time also told me Pcos causes infertility. I was devasted I went crying to our house that day, I was devasted and scared. My bf told me not to worry about it and that we would cross that bridge when it was time. My boyfriend and I got married . Jan 2017 (27yrs) we tried for the first time and we got prego same month sadly the pregnancy ended in a mc. We tried in May and got prego in the same month. EDD February 2018.

I was diagnosed in my 20s and lived with the idea I had fertility problems for years. I received a lot of prayer/healing for it and had 2 miscarriages in my 20/30s. Roll on to my early 40s and a gynaecologist on US said my ovaries looked perfectly healthy, I'm now 7 weeks pregnant at 41yrs old. 1) Jesus heals ❤️ 2) don't let someone label you as infertile, God is in control of fertility not the drs!

I got diagnosed in May of 2016. I was 17. my period started on Christmas and didn't get another until late april. I was gaining weight like crazy and was craving carbs like a mofo. went to my ob and she ran a few tests and I was diagnosed. since then me and my fiance began ttc for our 1st baby. 😏 no luck yet, but hopefully soon. trying to conceive without the help of a professional right now, but if we go another year with no luck, I'll be seeking help.

I wasn't preventing pregnancy but wasn't trying to get pregnant either, I didn't have my period for 4 months so I decided to go to the doctor with my husband and she took blood called back and told me I had it I was 18.

It's literally the reason I don't trust doctors, I had to wait 15 years after my period. Asked so many doctors and the answer was always, well that's normal

I had super irregular periods since I started my period at 12 years old but never got checked but then started having bad pains in my ovaries and got a ultrasound and showed the poly cystic cysts in my ovaries then got blood work and my hormones were so irregular and unbalanced and was told that when I was 16 so it was hard to get pregnant took four years but finally pregnant.

I would have periods for months at a time... 3 yrs ago I ended up in the era and had to get blood transfusions so they sent me to a specialist and I was told it was pcos and if we wanted to have a child there were ways to help ... metformin helped wit the weight, hair, and period. I honestly would say ask for it I've now lost 40 and my period is normal and was giving the go ahead to start trying to conceive.

Child baring age is the most common time

I had a dermoid cyst removed when I was 25 and just found out a few weeks ago that I have 5 cysts on my right ovary and 3 on the other. I have very painful periods but they are pretty consistent and I'm not overweight. So I don't have all the symptoms but I'm really thinking I have PCOS. I'm having blood work done next week and having a hysterosalpinogram in 2 weeks. Going on 9 months of TTC, hopefully will find out what's going on soon. It's hard!

Early 20s... I have always had irregular cycles but it wasn't until I got off birth control that I started to pay attention to the symptoms. Now at 32, I suffer with facial hair, non existent cycles, and weight gain 😩😩😩. I was recently prescribed Provera to "jump start" my cycle since my husband and I are TTC. Honestly doubt if my cycle continues regularly after this round.
