Thank You For Reading My Story And I Hope I Will Make Some Friends Here...
i know you might not feel so right now, but you are soo lucky to have found out at 19 that you've got pcos. i never menstruated more than twice a year and then usually only for 3 or 5 days - my mom and i thought something might be wrong but we hoped it would get better. Well, it sure didn't! I'm now 26 and i'm also on bc and now at least my cycles are regulated. And if i had been diagnose earlier i might have treated myself better (ie got enough excercise etc)
As to the boyfriends ... i would'nt worry too much about that! i have a wonderful fiancee that knew from day 1 that i had pcos and would have trouble getting pregnant and he has absolutely no problem with it (apart from feeling really bad for me and wanting to make it better). So basically if he's the right one for you, it won't bother him one bit!

Welcome to SC! I'm sorry your mom didn't want to talk to you about pcos. You have found a great resource to learn all about pcos and treating it; as well as a wonderful group of women who know what it is like to live with pcos. Make yourself at home!

I'm also new here, you'll love it. Its a great place to get information and talk to other women who are going through what you are going through. I too was scared, and still am, that I won't be able to have children. the positive thing is that we've both been diagnosed young (i was diagnosed last year at age 19) and we can get a handle on it before we start planning for children. If you ever need anyone, I'm here. Along with a whole bunch of great women
thank You So Much Ladies... You Wont Believe It But I Started To Read The Responses And I Cried. Im Still Tryin To Get Over The Fact That I Was Lied To Since I Was 17 Yrs Old... Just The Fact That My Mom Thought That Just By Ignoring It, It Would Go Away But Its Not Like That... I Am Greatful That There Is So Much Support Here... I Have A Sister She Is 17 Yrs Old And I Told Her I Was Checking About Pocs...well I Havent Told My Sister (father's Side) What She Has Exactly She Has The Same Symptoms... She Lives In Puerto Rico And The Doctors Havent Yet Diagnosed Her But Its Going To Be Hard For Her Too Because On Top Of That She Has Diabetes And She Get Seizures...i Guess Im Gonna Tell Her Soon.

it took my mom and i quite a long time to realise that all my symptoms were pcos related, and before that we both also thought it would go away.
After being diagnosed (at 21) my mom and i began chatting about HER medical history and it turns out .... that she had ALL the pcos symptoms and just never thought about it or connected the dots. And the doc's weren't so clued up then (mom's 56)
When my parents were ready to have kids, she was playing squash (or racquestball) like a demon 6 days a week. So all the exercise helped to keep her pcos in control and she had no trouble getting pregnant. However, to this DAY she is still denying that she has pcos. lol!
So what i'm trying to say (in my rambling way) is that maybe your mom honestly thought that pcos is no big deal (like my mom did) and lied by omission rather than design?
As to your sisters - aren't they lucky to have such a great sis who'll tell them about it and help them understand the disease! (and maybe even refer them here!?)
