My Mood:  Points: 4,151.70 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 4,151.70 |  Name something positive about PCOS
I know alittle hard to do but name one thing you found positive about PCOS. It could be anything! A good book, friend, something that you found in yourself! Let me know!
One thing for me would have to be that I am alittle more confident in myself. I began to lose my hair soo i had to cut it and at first I hated it but now i am really used to it and I lost weight, i see myself soo much differently and I am more social... trying to enjoy my life. If it werent for the crazy symptoms that PCOS causes I dont think I would feel the way that I do today about myself.... all the good things anyway!

It's really hard to find something about PCOS.
I guess in my case having PCOS has helped me realize and invest in my support systems. Before I had this struggle, I was always the one that my friends went to but being diagnosed it helped me realize my friends and boyfriend are there for me.
Something that had I not been diagnosed, I don't think I'd have realized. | |

No messy, inconvenient periods. I'm nearly 18, and have yet to have one, so I think that it's quite awesome!

yeah, the no periods thing was cool for awhile, till the doctor put me on provera so i could start my BCP...i bled for a month straight from all that had built up!! terrible. but being on birth control because of this is nice first off because of birth control's "practical" uses, if you know what i mean  , and because it's made my skin awesome (even better than it was before my hormones started being yucky!) and my boobs bigger than i ever thought they would get!! (i take after my mother, a petite lady with a-cups. enough said.) the third thing i guess is that being so self-concious about my hairiness has caused me to search for other things i do like about myself--and i've actually found a couple of things about myself i never knew i liked before. | |

Definitely the no periods thing is a plus! Haha
I think actually knowing why I have the problems that I do and finding ways to fix them, is probably the most positive thing so far. I mean some girls have severe acne or weight gain and have no idea what it's from or how to fix it. That would definitely be a downer.

Despite all the problems that come along with it (hair, weight, etc.), I just think it's really cool. It makes me feel special. I used to be so upset that I've never broken a bone or anything cool like that, but NOW I have this affliction that's everlasting! I just love telling people about it because it's so exciting! Haha!

I am no longer a teen but I was lurking and seen this so I decided to reply My husband and I are trying for a baby and even though it makes it much more difficult I will be 100x more grateful for him or her when I have it

well not getting any periods is kinda awesome, and i cant go on the pill cus i have a genetic predisposition to bloodclotting
its also great to finally realize why I was having these symptoms (tho they still suck)
and it made me realize what truly amazing friends I have! | |

Sometimes, when we face tough things, we really dO grow from them. I know that's been true about me, and not just with PCOS. But it, too, has allowed me to be more accepting, of myself, issues, and others.
