I just discovered that PCOS is in fact a real thing! I was starting to think I was a mutant! I've been reading about this since I found out a few days ago..
But, how do you know if you have it? Do you need to have all the syndroms? I am seeing my doctor next week about this, and I'm sligtly nervous, you might say.
For instance, I am not particulary overweight(exept from around the waist). I don't know if I have high blood pressure. And I strongly doubt I have diabetes.
What I do have is the hair problem. Growing like crazy one me! And the oily skin and pimples. Needless to say, I don't feel very feminine... It's driving me CRAZY!! My periods are a bit irregular, if you think about the time between them, and how long they last. But the pain is -highly- irregular. I never had any period pain up until 1 year ago (I'm 19 now, had period since 12), but then it came, pain, pain, pain, PAIN! Every 2nd time, it hurts like I'm about to die! I think that's irregular...
The symptoms I do have, makes me feel all manly and not like a girl at all. I hate it! I have manly hair on face and body, and a manly belly. Oily pimled skin isn't very pretty eiter.. It doesn't look very feminine, but I feel like a pretty-girl on the inside, so I want those things to go away!
I am seeing my doctor on monday, to try to get an appointment next week. I think. I'm just worried I'm just imagining this(seeing as I only have a few symptoms), and was wondering what you guys think?
