just found out

[kaylafgr]

hey, just found this site and it is so nice to know that people have been feeling the same as me. i found out yesterday that i have this. i have to say it was nice to know what was wrong with me. my periods were regular at the start and thn i would go years by not havin one and thn last year i would get them really frequent and thn they stopped so i went to the doctors had all my bloodtests and ultrasound and whilst all this was goin on my weight was goin up and up. i mean ive always been a big girl but i wasnt eatin any diffrent. ive still got to go and see the specialist and see what he has to say but my docotrs are preety certain its polycystic ovarian syndrom. my friends were all worried, but i only told one person that i had it, but i just shurgged it off like it didnt matter but it really is bothering me im so stressed because ive got my alevels coming up in 4 weeks and now i have this to worry abotu and not knowing whether ill become pregant becaus eive always wanted a child in the future. also diabetes has been pased down from generation to generation so im more than likely to get it. it sucks that it hard to get the weight of because i have been trying and my brother knows about the problems and when we had an arguement he said that i shoud go for a run nd stop blaming this for me being fat. its really gettin to me but its so nice to know that there are other people who feel this way.
lots of love kayla xxx

Hey, its really hard when your family are mean I know, my mother has used this as an excuse to go insane on my diet and exercise and it has so not been ok, but she is just trying to help. Your brother probably doesnt even know what it is like, I have gone through an identical pattern to you and the gain of weight has been horrible, even my boyfriend tried to help me lose weight, it was embarrassing and horrible. My clothing, my friends, everything, but now i know what it is and I can do something about it, I really am starting to look forward to the healthy lifestyle i am going to have and to liking myself more.
regards

Hi girls I am the mom of a recently 3 hours ago diagnosed pcos er I am very concerned that I will become a very up tight mom we have so many medical issues in our family and to add this to her makes me so sad and worried for her. Can you girls give me some advice as what to do or not to do to help her. Thanks so much, Mom in New Hampshire

hi there mom of a pcos er. from my personal experince my opinion is to be patient and to be there for your daughter. My mom has been so great through this whole ordeal from trying to figure out to what it was to now being diagnosed. I would often have moods where i was so low some days that nothing could get me out of it for a couple hours. My mom was great by not doing anything and letting me go through the moods. i know that she is there for me and i can talk to her about all of it. Also by her not being overbearing about my health it makes me a stronger more independent person, yet i know behind closed doors she was extremly worried about me. Sorry if this is rambling on but the best thing to do is relax, be there, and be patient. hope this helps some!

Kate-thank you that is actually what I have been doing I'm just so worried because she doesnt want to read or get informed about what is and will be going on.

Do you all recommend going on b/c persricptions or try to work it out. When I was at the doc's with her we opt to not and know that I am reading this all and doing crazy research I think that was probably the way to go what does everyone think? :?

i have started the pill just recently, only for two days so far. i am also going to see the gynocologyist on thursday. for me it wasnt something i couldn't take on and try and work out espically during my junior year of highscool. but for each person i think it is diffrent, i cant say that much because i dont believe i am informed enough, but as much as i dont want to go to the gynocologyist on thursday i think it is a good idea and will give me more of an idea of what is going on, and help validate that this is something real, not something in my head that i can control.
