You are not alone! I am 24 and was officially diagnosed with pcos when I was 22 although a doctor had mentioned it to me when I was 19. I had a difficult time finding somone to give me the right test until I got my own health insurance and found a different doctor. I went through most of high school dealing with facial hair and it only got worse in my twenties. I lost a lot of weight when I was 20, but the next year went through a very stressful period and gained 60 pounds!!!! ... (and you're worried about 30...LOL!) I have been trying hard, but it seems impossible to get the weight off... I have struggled with low self esteem for a long time and felt like I wasn't fully "woman." I know how it feels to deal with depression and all of the symptoms you have, but I've also learned to see pcos for what it is - a condition. It can only control me if I let it! Feel free to message me if you need to talk!
