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.

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.

I would have to say that now I know why I can't loose the fat around my belly. I have always wondered why I could not lose it. Now I actully have an excuse! HA!HA!

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!
