Heyyy!

I'm naomi && i'm 15. I was diagnosed with pcos on my birthday this year [24th aug] && my doctor said that I was the youngest case she'd seen. Once i'd had the blood tests to confirm it all, I had to have an ultrasound done. Which showed that I had the cystic side of the polycystic ovaries, because, apparently, && I don't know if this is true, but you can have polycystic ovary syndrome without having cysts in your ovaries.
At first, the whole thing kinda creeped me out, but the more I thought about it, I had, had it for years and not known, just because I had found out, I shouldn't let it bother me. One of my teachers helped me do some research into pcos && we discovered that it could cause infertility, doesn't mean it will though. I'm still waiting for the proper treatment etc, && i'm not going to be put on the pill, my doctor said that in my case, the pill wouldn't work. It probably would be metformin that I would get. So far, the symptoms I have are:
loss of menstruation (amenorrhea)
weight gain, particularly around the waist line
hirsutism, which causes excessive hair growth, especially on the face and body
acne and oily skin
decreased breast size

it was a kind of relief to be told that the being over weight wasn't entirely my fault, but in the past 12 months, my breasts have decreased from a c-cup to an a-cup. =[[[

i don't really know all that much about pcos, I just know about what i've read && the experiences i've had so far...


Hope that helped least a little bit.


P.S does anyone know of any other teenagers being diagnosed with pcos? - right now I kinda feel like the lone ranger about the whole thing =[[[
