I’m 19 and just got diagnosed with PCOS after an ultrasound investigating extended spotting. I know it’s not the end of the world and its different for everybody, but I still can’t seem to shake this crushing feeling that my fear of never having kids is now a very possible reality that I have to face. I’m currently waiting to get more testing done like bloodwork and stuff to measure my testosterone etc, but I really just don’t even know how to feel or what to do. I can’t stop ruminating about this whole thing. It’s like being afraid of the monster under your bed as a kid, but this time when you go to look, the monster is right there staring back at you. And all I can do is freeze and wait for something to happen. Just feeling all types of scared and emotional and helpless/hopeless, not to mention some type of grief. It’s like I’m mourning the loss of my fairy tail pregnancy and life. I don’t know. Any advice on how to deal with this diagnosis and flood of emotions would be super appreciated. Or possible facts, statistics, or anything related to PCOS that I can educate myself with would be amazing.

Thank you for reading this far. ❤️😔
