I'm new to this sight and this is my first day here. I have a few questions about things that you all may have in common with me. I've read about people on here having excess hair which I have, but I was wondering do any of you also have breast abnormalities. I know most women have this to a small degree but mine is PRETTY bad. One is a b and the other is a c somehow I manage to hide it in my clothing... or so people say but PCOS is so hard because it's like every symptom that a girl would wish in her lifetime to never have, excess hair, balding, obesity, the list goes on I know I sound very vain but It's not that I think most of you will understand. I just wondered how you all deal or if you have these things
I can't give you any tips on how to cope Rachel, but I can commisserate - I have one larger than the other too. It's been that way as long as I can remember and I guess I camoflage it well also because nobody seems to notice (however, I'm not sure anyone would comment even if they did!) Hubby knows (obviously) but doesn't care, as he considers both sizeable enough for his liking.
All that said, yes, PCOS is full of treats that no woman would ever want to suffer, vanity aside. I myself can lay claim to obesity, acne, IR and infertility and let's not forget depression (caused by PCOS or because of the other symptoms, I"ll never know)
Rest easy- we're all beautiful here

Thank you Jen for responding to me. I have a boyfriend and he's never said anything about any of this stuff or any other guy I've dated. I've told my Mother and sister and they deny seeing any of these things wrong with me down to the fact they just think I'm being silly but it's because we cover it and hide it shave it or bleach it you know But, it feels good to know others understand. I've had problems since I was 12 and now I'm 22 and just now got diagnosed.
I too am "lopsided" I can tell the difference on the size of my breasts. However I have read it is commen in women with PCOS or no PCOS! I have asked several of my friends and most of them have one bigger than the other. Of course I pointed it out to my husband...shoot he knows everything else.... he doesnt' care and wouldn't have known if i hadn't pointed it out. He is wondrfulyy understanding about everything... alot of times I wonder how I got so lucky!!!

I, too, am lopsided! Glad to know I'm not the only one!
I'm wondering, though, how you all are - I'm left handed, and my left is bigger than my right. Coincidence, or could it have something to do with handedness? You know, from using my left hand more than my right?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????

I too have been lopsided for as long as I could remember! (Far longer than I've had pcos) It was not as noticeable I think until this year when it seemed that my left (the bigger one) was sooo much bigger. I have read though, that there is nothing 'abnormal' about one breast being bigger than the other. It doesn't look any bigger under clothes, I take consolation in that fact. Hey, being symmetrical is not very common !
I am a righty and my left boob is bigger. Not sure how much, but it is noticeable. My right one fits nicely in the bra, and the left one...well....doesn't

No more TTC. After 6 years and 4 miscarriages, I am done. Now trying to come to terms with it. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 0 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
I have a full, round B cup in the right (i am righthanded) and on the left she's barely an A. The nipples are way off in size, too!!! I think it's very common to have varying sizes but to be as noticeable as mine (and it sounds like yours, too) isn't as common. I used to wear a bra with removable pads and would leave the pad in on the left but take it out on the right. But the bra I like now doesn't have that.
I have never had a boyfriend complain!! In fact my last long term boyfriend liked the little one best because it was (is) more sensitive.
