Well hello fellow cysters! i'm brand new to this site and to pcos. i want everyone to know who i am i love to talk and i love helping and getting help. i am 16 years old i was diagnosed with pcos in about december 2001 but was getting all the tests in november 2001 when i was only 15. on january 21st of 2002 i was told that i had pcos on the day before my birthday. it was hard and to this day i still dont know the extent of this syndrome. i am luck to have a wonderful boyfriend behind me in everything hes been there through all the tests and everything else. i am going into my junior yeah of high school and i am just getting started being put on all the medications. right now all i know is that my ovaries are always swollen and give me pain, i havent had my period since sixth grade except the one time i was given medication to give me one. for what i know i do not have cycts but they do run in my family. i have high blood presures, i get depressed, i cant control my wieght no matter what i do, and i am told i cant have a natural pregnacy. I am very scared and very confused. i for sure dont understand anything that is going on around me and i cant help but cry and wonder why this had to happen to me.
But all you can do is try to smile
and pray through another day
All My love cysters!

Hey Heather, I could completely relate to your post. I am 16 and going into my junior yr. I was "officially" diagnosed with PCOS on Friday August 9th., although my doctors have been leaning towards PCOS since I was 13. I haven't had my period in over 2 yrs, but thats not due to PCOS. I can understand all your fears and worries, I suffered from severe deprression my freshman yr in high school and was put on Paxil. I became very overweight when in 4th grade, and have not been able to get the weight off. I watch what I eat, and eat bad food in small quantities. I am losing my hair, and growing hair in places that scare me. I have all of the classic signs of PCOS, as well at a large, golfballl size cyst on my right overy. So yah... It's great to have other girls you can talk to about these kind of things :-D
