hi, everybody

for the past week or so ive been reading up about PCOS.
i first really got concerned when browsing the internet about some abnormal traits i have.
i'm 15, and for the past couple years (since i hit puberty)
I've had abnormal hair growth (gotten electrolysis 4 times, never worked hahaha D

,
body acne,
cysts,
i have issues with my weight. (even though i'm a thin girl, about 117 lbs. i have up's and down's with my weight normally)
yes, i know some of these are normal for teenagers to go through, but i'm not overreacting. i also had many other symptoms.

about a year ago i had severe period cramps that made me pass out, and wound up in the ER.
a month or 2 later i went to the OBGYN, and the doctor had said i have many of the symptoms of PCOS.
she gave me a birth control solution, but since i was having tonsilitus surgery in the future my mother didn't want to mix the meds.
Also, my mother and grandmother (on my father side) had had infertility issues. even though my mother hinted towards that it was my fathers issue, she never really came out and said it.

it really gets my bummed out that i could get infertility, i love kids. not that i want them now, or in the near future, but in general. haha

everytime i bring something up/question about an abnormality, my mom tries to sidetrack it. i think she's too afraid to have her only daughter have issues.

so, i'm just reaching out to you fine women about this, any comments would be really appreciated
