I do, and i believe that all women who has , should start writing long letters to docs, explain how messed up can be and find not a treatment but A REAL CURE, for this curse of nature.

my personal experience.
I got my period 14 years old, it was painful, like a stomach ache.
After my first period the second one came 5-6 months after. PAIN PAIN PAIN, VOMITING , LOW PRESSURE, FAINTING,COLD SWEATS, all these for 12 years, ( iim 26 now) and i didn’t knew , my family didn’t get me to the doctor, (messed up family, another big story), and when I went to a doc, she told me that i have them and its ok. I was 22 when i went and until now i didn’t knew how serious can be.
Did you know that:
More than 50 percent of women with PCOS will have diabetes or pre-diabetes (impaired glucose tolerance) before the age of 40.
Women with PCOS have a four to seven times higher risk of heart attack than women of the same age without PCOS.
Women with PCOS are at greater risk of having high blood pressure.
Women with PCOS have high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol
Chance of getting endometrial cancer
the symptoms are:
infrequent menstrual periods, no menstrual periods, and/or irregular bleeding
infertility (not able to get pregnant) because of not ovulating
increased hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toes—a condition called hirsutism (HER-suh-tiz-um)
ovarian cysts
acne, oily skin, or dandruff
weight gain or obesity, usually carrying extra weight around the waist
insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes
high cholesterol
high blood pressure
male-pattern baldness or thinning hair
patches of thickened and dark brown or black skin on the neck, arms, breasts, or thighs
skin tags, or tiny excess flaps of skin in the armpits or neck area
pelvic pain
anxiety or depression due to appearance and/or infertility
sleep apnea—excessive snoring and times when breathing stops while asleep
(Not all women with PCOS share the same symptoms)

Thats is so messed up. I got :
Acne, depression, very irregular periods, increased hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, It ruined my life until now, because no doctor told me anything of those and i might have insulin resistance, because of my family background.
now i went to a hospital and im waiting for my next period so i can do some tests.
here in greece, docs saying " oh birth control pills are bad , don’t take them, blah, blah blah, " fuck them , the minute i start birth control pills , is my happiest moments i.ve ever lived, no acne, no pains, everything is so perfect, now i stopped because i have to do the blood exams, and guess what….. ACNE ACNE ACNE, HAIR, SMALL BOOBS!
I took yasmin, and here in greece birth control pills cost like 10 euro, why in america cost like 60 dollars? because of the advertisment? here they don’t do to much advertisment.

thanks, all ladies you can share if you want to.

All my life i thought that i was crazy, crazy bitch from hell, i was feeling bad and now i know.

I heard that sometimes if you have a cyst on your overy it can cause a pregnancy test to show up positive, is this true?

i am trying get pregnant and i was recently told by my doctor that i have a cyst on my ovary. they did an ultrasound and said they dont see that im pregnant but it could be too early to tell. but my nipples hurt and ive had an increase in vaginal discharge. the discharge is normal just more. and i feel moody. so i want some opinions. do you think i could be pregnant? or do you think my symptoms are from my cyst?

She doesn’t get her period because of the shot.

hi
I wanted to know whether it I good for a ovarian cyst to burst?
and does surgery to get rid of a cyst affect fertility?
and I’ve been getting these pains in my left ovary! what could it be?
I’m 15 and was diagnosed with pco 8 months ago and have been given nothing for it (no medication)?

I’ll be 18 on tuesday. And, when I was 14 I found out I had a tilted uterus. ( I was having an exam for my ovarian cyst which I get extremely often). The doctor told me it was nothing to worry about until I was older. Now that i’m about to be 18 I have no idea what to expect or what problems could occur. Wether I can have kids. This is scaring me bad. So any advice on what it is what i should expect and, if their are treatments. And, how I got a tilted uterus.
Thanks in advance

I was on Depo-Provera for a little over a year. Its been almost 2 months since Ive been off of it. Me and my husband have been having unprotected sex since I’ve been off of it. A little over a week after getting off, I had some spotting.. which if pregnant would be the day I concieved. I have been having alot of abdominal cramps that come and go. The cramps do stay pretty consistant when I sit down. Ive also been experiencing some fatigue, very prominate blue veins on my breast leading to my nipples. Ive also noticed my nipples and areolas are getting a bit bigger and slightly darker. Ive had a very strong sense of smell, been using the restroom alot, also having a very hard time sleeping; im very restless, mild headaches and slight nausiated. I am wondering if this could be pregnancy symptoms or ovarian cyst. Me and my husband are ttc
Thanks for your time. . .

Im 16 and have had really bad pains in my stomach since july last year! i did many test and had a few operations and after a CT scan they found a cyst on my right ovary.
i then had to get an ultrasound which confirmed i had a complex ovarian cyst and now they’re sending me back for another ultrasound.

why are they doing this?
what could it be?
is it cancerous?
and what do they mean about it being complex?
sorry about the questions.
