Glad to hear so many success stories!!
As for me...
One of my successes is that I'm hopeful and learning more everyday.
For the longest time I thought I had cancer- cervical or ovarian or uterine... Losing my hair, bleeding for days and days.... then going just as long without bleeding. Then within the past year I've noticed an increase in hair growth (and not where it's supposed to be), skin tags, weight gain... I could go on...but you know the deal. I finally got the courage to go to the GYN and inquire... and I was told I probably wasn't ovulating because of my weight. As for my symptoms...she said my weight contributes to those as well. I had been trying to lose weight for months with no luck. I thought things were hopeless.
I was searching online and found PCOS- and that was a light bulb moment-- relieved as well as scared, I woke my husband up at 3 am to tell him- "HONEY I KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!" (I won't include his smart response).
Now the more I learn the less scared I am-- and the more validation I feel.
As I read your stories, you give me hope! Hope that I can LIVE with this... and that I can have some control. Most of all I know I'm not alone.
If that's not success- I don't know what is.
