You would think the deep hormonal acne at 14, ovarian cyst removal in 2015, or continued weight gain with little to no changes in lifestyle could have been an indication since the beginning. But nope, the same journey, same docs just telling me to lose weight or wash my face more and eat better. What takes the diagnosis? One of my oncologists-long story– told me my acne and facial hair pattern and body fat storage seem to lead her to think this is all PCOS. Freaking frustrating.

The most powerful recommended treatments for all types of PCOS are lifestyle modifications. Eating healthy and nutritious meals, pursuing an active lifestyle and educating yourself in detail about PCOS also helps. It is equally important to be aware of moods and ask for help when dealing with anxiety, depression and mood swings. It is not possible to attain optimum physical health if emotional health is impaired. Getting support matters.

All this time I’ve felt like no one understood me, no one knows the frustrations of dealing with PCOS and endometriosis. I feel judged when I talk about my weight, people around me immediately act like those around you and say “eat less, eat healthy, exercise and you’ll lose weight” or “you just need to lose weight”. Because I’m fat they assume that I don’t work my butt off at the gym and any other time I can and they assume that I don’t eat healthy. That drives me crazy, they are so quick to judge and have no idea how hard I try and just don’t lose weight. I feel like you understand me and I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. Thank you for posting this it makes me feel like I’m not alone. I just wish there was an easier way for us to lose weight. It’s not supposed to be easy but it’s not supposed to be nearly impossible either. Hang in there and good luck.

I am struggling with Anerexia right now and no matter how much weight I lose I am always worried about how I look. You helped me realize that I should love my body, it doesn’t matter if I weigh 90 pounds because I could die. You are so beautiful and I hope we can get through this together!:)

This is the first time I’m ever posting on any of these blogs, but I thought I should tell you a little something about PCOS treatment options. I’m not sure if you have heard of Ayurveda, Indian Traditional Medicine. I’m not sure where exactly you live, but Ayurveda has provided cures for many women suffering from PCOS. I’m currently going through some Ayurveda treatment for my PCOS. I live in Australia, and have an Ayurvedic doctor here, and have already noticed significant changes in my PCOS symptoms. Most of Ayurveda is about knowing what imbalances our body is going through, and then correcting it through food and lifestyles changes. For example, I’ve been told that when I consume yoghurt, it increases my internal body heat, and disturbs digestion. Because digestion is disturbed, nutrients aren’t being adequately transported to the pituitary gland (where the hormones that really mess PCOS women up are made), and so insulin doesn’t function properly, and we gain weight.

From what I know from family members and friends, Ayurveda has a really high success rate at least in cutting down weight and allowing painless short periods and increasing fertility. I’m not sure if this interests you at all, but this has been a lifesaver for me. I’m still going through the treatment plan, but everything looks really positive at the moment.

<3 Molly! I'm so glad that you found this post. You sound like you could be my twin when it comes to PCOS. I am so sorry that you're dealing with this too! It's just awful. HUGS!

Your post showed up in my “newsfeed” on Facebook tonight out of no where. Reading this was like reading a biography on my life. I am 26 years old and was just married last year. I gained 50 pounds in 6 months after I was married. (Going off of birth control SUCKS!!!!!) sorry, but it DOES! After not seeing any signs of my monthly friend and several negative pregnancy tests later ( yes we were and still are) trying to get pregnant I went to my OB who i had seen since I was 16. Her only answer was to exercise and eat right…but here’s the thing… I was already doing that, and still gaining weight! Like you I could barley eat anything at all, be on my feet all day and STILL gain weight. So I switched doctors, several times, before one finally seems to “semi-understand” the issues that goes along with PCOS and who wants to actually work on fixing the problems that goes along with it. It’s so hard sometimes, your post made me cry. Thank you for sharing this, it is so helpful to at least know someone else might know the pains of PCOS.Hopefully one day I will be able to have a little one in my arms and maybe even feel a little better about myself! I hope you really have found happiness and that it is able to stay around for you! PS you are gorgeous!!!!
