i'm 17 and have an ultrasound scheduled soon and am unsure whether my age is the reason for the large amount of distress along with uncertainty im feeling.
your feedback will help a lot
thank you  |
I was 21 when diagnosed and am now about to be 29. Yes, I do think I have come more to terms with it as I have gotten older. I have more experience in dealing with crap doctors and look out for myself more. Before I felt like I was riding someone else's PCOS rollercoaster, but now I've made it my own. I am able to be more aggressive when there is a treatment I don't like.
I do think that your youth plays a part with your uncertainty, but is not the cause of it. Everyone gets scared when faced with something new. I was 27 when first diagnosed with endometriosis and to tell the truth, it scared the poo out of me.
Don't despair and don't lose hope. It is a good thing that you are getting treated so young. Perhaps that will curtail some of the problems that are associated with PCOS.
I wish you all the luck and happiness the universe has to offer!
