This PCOS is ruining my life it's all I think about, I end up crying everyday thinking about me never getting pregnant or married or whatnot, I'm really happy that I'm going to be participating in a study that will hopefully find a cure for this disease, I'm trying m best to keep it together but it's hard I'm starting to think I'm never going to become a mother and experience the miracle of childbirth, I recently found out that half of my graduating class is either married or have kids and that only shows that I never got anywhere in life, I'm so depressed I can't stop crying and feeling sad

you're having a bad day...and i totally understand what you are thinking! i wish i could offer you some good words other than to say that you are not alone
Thanks, sometimes I do feel alone cause no one understands because the women in my family and I mean ALL OF THEM never had a problem popping a kid out, why do I have to be the one that has to suffer?

Your only 24... you have plenty of time to get where you want to be in life. Try not to dwell on where and what your ex classmates are doing it won't help you at all. You have only been ttc for 4months I know with PCOS it doesn't help... but 4months isn't long even for a non cyster so please don't lose hope just yet...positive thinking... hopefully you will conceive soon... goodluck!

I'm trying my hardest to think positive but it doesn't really help, especially at work when I can't even do anything about it till I get home and have to deal with the BS here with my parents, I know I'm young and I have plenty of time but I just think it's not fair that I have to be the one in my family that has to struggle.

i have four sisters, all married and all feritile! I am the best aunt that has ever walked this earth! just because you are young does not mean the threat is less real...i know how you are feeling... i am 28, no boyfriend and no horizons on the prospects...PCOS is a daunting diagnosis for a single girl and that needs to be recognized My family tells me I am overreacting and i find that frustrating (on so many levels) but it is a reality for(and you) only date a man that may be "connected"...PCOS needs to take a political forefront in health care issues...and iwant to be the woman that advocates for that! Please contact me if you think i should!

I do understand how you feel. I'm 33, no boyfriend or prospects, and everyone seems to think I should just "Go out and find a guy and have a family." Just like you can go to the supermarket and pick one up with the milk!
Plus it's a DAMN lonely battle to be doing this on your own. No-one understands that unless they live it!

Well if you are going to be an advocate for PCOS then so am I! You see all these stories of cancer and other diseases that make headline news, what about PCOS? that's a illness too that really needs to be shed some light on, and I go through the same thing as you, my family tells me I'm too young that I'm overreacting, etc. and I'm not I'm just highly concerned of my well being.

Don't let anyone tell you that your feelings aren't valid. It can be frustrating and lonely and painful, and you are allowed to feel that way. I know I've been struggling since I had my diagnoses. I ranted on here after about 6 months of TTC, and I got told that I was silly for freaking out when I hadn't had enough time to concieve. Well, it's been a year now... can I be angry and upset?
It doesn't matter what people think. Your feelings aren't going to disappear when someone says you have no reason to be upset. The fact is that PCOS is scary and effects our self image and our hope for the future.
I'm here to be a shoulder to cry and tell you you aren't alone. Your feelings are valid, and I understand your worries. Try to keep your chin up, and count a couple blessings in your life and build on them. Whether it be a hobby or a passion, now is the time to put in that time and effort into it and make it count for a big part of your life. Something that you can enjoy and be proud of. Good Luck with everything. I am always hear to listen. (((Hugs)))

OH, you dont listen to anyone... your never too young. i had a woman at work who has PCOS, and she never got to have babies, but then all the other girls i work with all have babies... you can have them... this one girl at work (now she doesnt have PCOS) she got sick of waiting around for men and went to the Bank and had a baby... and is she cute i have had one of my best friends look me right in the eye and say Oh it is ok your only 23 you have LOTS of time... and i looked right back at her and said, you have 2 ooops kids,,, do not talk to me like that again untill you have to struggle with it... and she hasnt brought it up again since. but it hurts when you see woman our age walking around with 5 kids, or pregnant. i have been happy for all my friends who have had kids, however, everytime i go to visit them i just wish that baby was mine hugs and ill talk to you soon everything your feeling i would say is normal considering what your going though. i think the most of us have had these feelings at one time or another since our DX.

It just really sucks (pardon the french) it kills me inside when people tell me "oh you have plenty of time" Yeah well sometimes I just want to tell them well obviously you've never been through what I'm going through. It just really irks me.

I recently told my boyfriend that I wish that the women who don't have PCOS who get pregnant just by breathing it seems, would just keep their legs closed for just 5 minutes and give someone with PCOS a chance but he said that was kind of selfish and women are not going to stop having babies just because I can't get pregnant, I understand that and he knows I'm stressed out because I can't concieve right now but I just love how he's so supportive
