      I was also diagnosed with pcos at 14 and I'm 30 now with 2 beautiful kids 9 and 4. Just make sure u do your yearly screens and remember they have to tell all the risks even if they are small risks.

      I was diagnosed with pcos at 14 and I'm now going on 31 with a very handsome 9 year old boy. Don't let the diagnosis scare you into giving up your dreams. For most women, it's perfectly manageable even without medication. For others, managing may include medication. But it is manageable.

      Hey! My mom has pcos and I also have it. She only needed one round of fertility drugs and she has three kids now- and also no cancer. I know it’s a scary diagnosis but it’s not that bad I promise!

      Hallo my aunt had PCOS was also told she cannot have kids and have cancer. She now has 2 kids and has not had cancer, I was also told I am not able to have kids however luckily I do not want any, I have pets and that's good enough for me. But there are always alternatives such as adoption, or a surrogate.

      no need to be terrified! you most likely feel that way bc you don’t understand what pcos really is yet, there’s great resources on YouTube and Instagram! I don’t really agree with the comment saying just to go on birth control, yes it can help with symptoms but it’s not a solution that’ll get rid of the condition. also wanted to mention that pcos doesn’t mean you’re infertile or will be in the future, it can make it more tricky to convince but by no means impossible!

      Its not that serious. Take some birth control you will be fine.

      I'm not sure exactly what diagnosis you got but just being diagnosed with PCOS doesn't automatically mean you can't conceive. My mother had PCOS and she has 4 children. There are things you can do/take that will help you conceive so don't rule out ever having children! Make sure you take a look at your options first. I understand it's a lot to take in but you'll get through it! ❤️

      hey! i got diagnosed with pcos a couple years ago and i promise it’s not a death sentence. my life has barely changed since i was diagnosed, and while i’m too young to think about having kids right now there is still a possibility being able to get pregnant. if you need any advice or help i’m always here!
