I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 15, it started with just random irregular periods, pelvic pains, and the hair growth, but it has grown into weight gain and a lot of pain. I have random pelvic pains and it gets overwhelming at times.
I’ve been struggling with this for six years and it is hard to deal with at times, but I try to think about the people who help me through it. I’ve gained weight from this and normally people are just like, “Oh, just go lose some weight.” Well, I am sorry, it’s not that simple. If you don’t have the right guidance losing weight is a lot harder then you think it is.
There are times where I just want to give up, but I just think that I will get through this and that’s what keeps me going in this constant fight with PCOS. I don’t ever plan on giving up.

I know this is a terrible option, but what if you had a hysterectomy? Would that take care of the pain and problems? I had one when I was 29. Just wondering
I was told that I have pcos when I was twenty I’m now almost 31 I have three children. When I was first diagnosed with this the doctor asked if I had ever been pregnant I told her yes I had three kids she told me that she was shocked cause most women with this have a hard time getting pregnant. I didn’t get this til after I had my youngest son. And get this I knw it sounds crazy but my periods were always normal and on time but after my last child my husband had a vasectomy and the day he had this done was the last normal period I had. And it was shortly after I was diagnosed with the pcos, I knw it sounds crazy but this is very true. I even asked about a hysterectomy the des said that wldnt help. To get on birth control to regulate my periods and lose weight cause I was never big but I went from 125 pounds up to 254 pounds. I hve just recently been able to start losing wright and my periods are now coming every month again not at sametime every month but at least I am having them..
