Weight gain with Pcos

2017 I was 120-130 lbs

2018 I was 180 lbs

2020 I am 210-2020 lbs

One of the most common symptoms of Pcos is weight gain. When I say it happened overnight that’s what it seemed like for me. I didn’t even notice it at the time, but slowly I was getting bigger & bigger. Pcos also makes it VERY difficult to lose weight which is what I’ve been struggling with lately. Pcos has changed my body. Pcos has changed the way I look at myself. Pcos has changed my life. It’s one of the hardest things I am/have gone through.

There’s so many more symptoms

-excessive hair growth

-irregular cycles

-heavy & painful periods

-painful ovarian cysts

-insomnia

-depression

-infertility

And so much more

Pcos is very common, it affects 1 in 10 women in the US. If you know somebody with Pcos please be patient with them. This condition is extremely hard to deal with and sometimes it just gets too much.
