I have been trying for many years to become pregnant to no avail, everyone told me to quit stressing and to quit worrying about it, I tried that nothing happened, four years later I am still childless. When I was younger I had problems with cysts, well one time it got really bad and my mother took me to the doctor and he told her that I would never have children, no explanation, at the time I never thought about it, but I was aware, did not stop me from trying all these years with my husband for a child with this knowledge, Until I started having cysts again severely, but everyone just kept telling me I just had cysts and they would go away, they did not. In September, my husband Patrick was watching the news and they where doing the health watch about polycystic ovarian syndrome and it fit me to a tee, I had the weight in the mid-section, infertility, and the acne, and also low blood sugar also, but in most cases of pcos, most have severe cases of diabetes. After seeing that show, I went straight and done some research on the internet and everything was all the symptoms that I had. Minus some, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed after having a ultrasound, my ovaries where covered with small cysts. As of right now I am on fertility drugs at the moment, still trying to get pregnant. To view stories of other womens struggles please visit these sites, they are very educational.

After reading this I hope that you will do a story on pcos. There is also still women out there that do not know that they have pcos, so they need to know what is wrong with them, so they can decide what to do and do what is best for them, whether it is trying to conceive or try to lose the weight, get their insulin levels under control, etc. There is also women and family of many that need to be educated about pcos, some people are still learning that they have pcos, some of us are still learning how to control pcos and try to stay healthy for the long run. This is my polycystic ovarian syndrome story and I hope that we can get more information to the media about polycystic ovarian syndrome.
