Only 14 years to light a fire under me....

About 14 years ago, I was diagnosed with PCOS. I was originally told that it was "just a fertility problem" and since I was young I had nothing to worry about, but that I may have difficulty getting pregnant one day. Well, it turns out to be a bit more than just a fertility problem. It can wreak havoc on your body and even your mind...if you allow it.

Although I have struggled with the effects of PCOS on my body and body image, I have been VERY complacent about taking medications and making necessary lifestyle changes (mostly because they haven't improved a thing in the past), but now something is different.

My amazing daughter who is about to turn 10 is starting to exhibit the signs that I once did at her age. The signs are pointing more and more to the obvious...PCOS. At first, I cried. I would do anything to spare my daughter from some of the struggles I have gone through related to PCOS; the embarrassment of acne and excess hair, the struggle to maintain a healthy weight, the difficulty getting pregnant, the disappointment of miscarriages, the anxiety and on and on... and on. Then, something snapped. Now I'm pissed and ready to fight back. I want to reclaim my life and self esteem from this disorder that has affected my mother, myself and now, it seems, my daughter. I wish I had been able to get motivated for myself, but there is something different about seeing your own baby suffer.

I know that everything can not be blamed on PCOS, but it IS one nasty little beast. I want to be an example to my daughter on how to kick that beast's butt.

  1. HOW I GOT PREGNANT.. My name is Janet VedalI have been married for 4 years without any child . My Fallopian tubes was blocked. I tried everything possible to get pregnant and nothing was working. I visited so many hospital's my problem never seems to end. I lost hope and felt depressed. One faithful day I started checking online on how to get pregnant in the comment section and people were testifying about how they got results after they used  Dr. Oyama herbs,  I was surprised about the testimony and decided to talk with him about my own issue. After explaining to him he said I have to purchase some medication from him after getting this medication I became pregnant and gave birth.
