i thought i was the only one til today(really long)

[whoknew]

sorry guys, this is long but this is too weird..i dunno if theres a story page but im just gonna tell it here cuz i need some feedback :? , my whole teenage life i thought i was just goin to get my period late...first i was like ill get it when im 14 then 16 then 18.....now im 18 and i still never got it...i think this is y....im not excessivley overweight but i have a big belly...great legs though..lol..anyways..when i was about 12 i was standin outside with my sister and she said i forgot to wash some dirt off my neck, i noticed it a few weeks b4 and it wouldnt go away so i just went in and scrubbed..when i was 14ish i started gettin skin tags on my neck and small ones on my shoulders, one day i was at school and one of my friends said somethin about my neck...i said it was from my neckalace, but i started wearaing turtle necks...and still am...i still never thought anything of it..didnt really concern me...and i was used to all my friends sayin how lucky i was that i never got my period, but when i was 16 i wanted it more than anything, i had no boobs(still have small ones), i never went to the doctors but when i was with a friend at a womens clinic for her to get a pregnancy test, i asked the nurse about it and she said not to worry but if i never got it by the time i was 18 to go in..but im too embarassed, nobody's seen me neckid but me..ive never had sex, whenever a guy gets close to me i run away cuz im overly insecure about it. but today when my sister picked me up from work the first thing she said was 'i think i know whats wrong with u' i was crazi...i started readin things on here and i have pretty much everything they list..now that i see it may be POSA im releived that if it is whats wrong with me i can try to do somethin about it..im goin to the doc within the next week to find out..do u ppl think this could be whats wrong with me..i felt so alone but now i know im not, i know im gonna be cryin later on tonight..i cant get over this..

once i found out i had PCOS 3 years ago when i was 15 all i did was cry. i didnt want something that made me fat a hairy and different from my freinds. now ive come to better terms with it, but it took me 9 months to finally tell my boyfriend i had it. i thought he would think i was a freak cuz i had too much testoserone (and insulin problems) lol..but he was very good about it.
it will get better with time i promise. you just have to treat it.

[whoknew]

so if i treat it properly will everythin go away? or atleast get better?...will my hair get thicker?..i havent got a hair cut in ages..lol..and will i lose weight?...i know i have to diet and exercise, but will treatment make everything a lil easier to manage?

[Bc_eames]

if you treat it, it will get better. if you dont it will get MUCh worse over time. i dont know about hair thickening beacuse i dont have that problem. i just try to keep my weight down so im not at risk for diabetes, thats what scares me the most.
