PCOS is the polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is a hormone disorder that is most common in women of reproductive age. The women will have infrequent or prolonged menstrual cycles. It also causes the male hormone, androgen, levels. It fails to reproduce an egg every month.

The ovaries may cause the development of numerous small collections of fluid. The cause of PCOS is not exactly known. People are just born with it. PCOS is not something to joke about. It can cause lifelong problems such as diabetes and heart disease.

I have PCOS. It's common in the women of my family. I have all the signs. PCOS causes irregular periods that are fewer than nine periods in a year. They are also abnormally heavy. I also have an excessive amount of male hormones. That makes it to where I have a bunch of body hair and acne.

I have to work extra hard to lose weight and watch what I eat. My insulin works to where I don't produce enough and have to take medicine for it. The thing that hurts the most is that I might not be able to have my own children. My biggest fear is that I won't be able to have my own kids. I want to become a mom and that has been my biggest goal in life.

Being a mom has become my biggest goal in life. Watching people I know get pregnant makes me excited for when I finally have my own kid. Four years ago, I had a miscarriage that not many people know about.

I found out that I was pregnant and miscarried all in one day. It was a very hard day for me. But I was only seventeen and in a toxic relationship. That is when I found out I had PCOS. I had lost my baby due to my body rejecting the pregnancy. PCOS is not a joke and is very common. Educate yourself if you feel like something is wrong. Go to the doctor. It is never too late.
