Name Jane
Age 25
Family situation In a relationship, no children.
PCOS symptoms
Weight problems, Heavy/light irregular/no periods at times, excess hair (really annoying)
Worst thing about PCOS My weight but I think I'm just too lazy to diet coz I just love my food, I have lost weight in the past but Ive put it all back on... and extra!
Also not knowing when my next period is or being on my period for ages!!!
I deal with the excess hair by plucking or waxing (I'm a qualified Beauty Therapist so that comes in handy for waxing myself lol)
Medication used (Same as above poster) I haven't used any. This means though that I'm scared to take oral contraception/ implant/ injections in case it affect things, so rely on condoms. Would be interested to know of good contraception to take if you don't want to mess up your cycle too much and would be able to have kids in the future?
NHS or Private Only my doctor knows.
Action taken against PCOS None, does the pill make periods regular?
Anything else?
Yeah, how can I tell my mum I have PCOS? I was diagnosed in March 2008 and I was gonna tell her at the time when I went for my Ultrasound scan but was too embarrassed (I know I shouldn't of been) so my bf come with me.
I really do want to tell her but I'm just scared, not of how she's gonna react (I think she'd be understanding) just I don't like all the questions she'd be asking like, when did you find out? who did you go with why didn't you tell me etc etc, I think that stresses me out most lol. |
