PCOS Questions!

Hi guys!

Could anyone help me out?

Have an appointment with my GYN to check for PCOS in a week but I was just curious and had questions for women diagnosed with PCOS if you care to share.

My stats:

• I’m 18

• Black

• On the thicker side (182lbs) but I take care of my self in terms of diet and exercise, I’m vegetarian and honestly it’s just a bit hard to shed the weight.

• Had major issues with Acne but I personally think it’s just because of puberty, however no one else in my family has struggled the way I have. I have control over it now and it’s managed.

• Occasional Stubborn chin hair but nth serious

Anyways not sure if I have it based on that but it does run in my family on my dad’s side so I just wanted to test to be sure. I’ll let you guys know of the results but in the meantime…

Questions:

- How did you know you had PCOS and what age did you suspect?

- I know usually it carries fertility issues but did you get pregnant despite it?

- How have you changed your lifestyle after learning you have PCOS? (Diet, exercise, etc.)
