Hello! I am 20 years old and have been unofficially diagnosed with PCOS. When I was 16 I didn’t get a period for 7 months and my doctor told me I have all of the symptoms of PCOS. I was put on the pill and now I am on the nuvaring. How do you manage your symptoms?

The pill pumps you with hormones that can actually be bad for certain types of PCOS. I recommend finding a specialist who can take some labs and help you better understand what your specific needs are.
My story is quite the same. I was diagnosed 10 years ago when I was younger than you, and I was advised to be put on the pill. Since then, apart from my pregnancy, I’ve been on the pill.
