I was exactly the same as you when I was 17!

It was an awful feeling to be so under-developed.

I developed really late and looking back I think this was because of the PCOS.

I'm 26 now and I have small (but at least some!) breasts!

I wear a padded bra and I look normal...I really recommend padded bra's!

I think it's great that you know you have PCOS at age 17.

I didn't find out until I was 26!

When I was your age I had acne, irregular periods and no boobs and always wondered what was wrong with me!

I was put on the contraceptive pill which cleared my acne and regulated my periods...but didn't solve that nagging thought in the back of my mind...wondering what was wrong with me in the first place!

I really struggled with self-esteem at age 17. I was thin but I pretty much stopped eating because I "hated" myself. I hated the acne that just wouldn't clear up and I hated my flat chest. I also slept with a lot of guys because I thought this was the only way to get them to like me.

I wish at age 17 my doctor could have tested me for PCOS so then I would have known WHY I was different.

Anyway, I know how you feel and I wish you all the best : )
