 Finally motivated to fight this...
My name is Emily, and this is the first time I have posted here. I was diagnosed with PCOS four years ago and it didn't seem like a big deal at the time, then last February, at the age of 25, I had an emergency removal of my right ovary. Last Wednesday, a large cyst ruptured in my left and I realized that I could be in real danger of losing the other one and any chance of ever having children. I was bleeding internally and my blood pressure was dropping, and I decided that I want to figure out how to help myself once and for all. I am going to see a specialist on Thursday who is going to work with me on changing my diet and supplements. I know that I am going to have to take this very seriously, and I don't even know where to begin!
Not to sound dramatic, but this condition is really affecting my life. I am a personal trainer and I am always on the go. I'm in really good shape, or so it would appear from the outside. I'm thin, fit, and generally have lots of energy. But when the cysts become inflammed, I suffer from debilitating pain and emotional fatigue. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir. I didn't realize how many things were linked to my hormones- from my mood, energy level, weight fluctuations, and overall sense of well-being.
I finally have a "someone" in my life that makes me think about the future. I want to be able to get pregnant and have children down the road. I'm scared that I won't be able to..
