    I didn't have a period for most of my young adult years. Which was ok with me because I wasn't trying to get pregnant. A doctor told me my eggs weren't developing but she didn't say I had pcos. I did some research and diagnosed myself because I do have facial hair and my hair is thinning.
    So, when I got engaged I started exercising,eating healthier, and praying.
    I did get pregnant natural without any medical help. My cervix was weak. I had my son at 26 weeks. He was like one pound. He stayed 3 months in the NICU. He's 3 years old now and we also have a little girl.

    I’m sitting here watching this, and I can’t help but feel both so so happy for you as well as jealous. I’ve always been dairy free, pescatarian, always have had a very healthy (on the thin side) weight, and I exercise regularly. After seven years since the doctors were finally able to diagnosis the PCOS, I still only have two periods a year and each time I end up in the hospital due to rupturing cysts. 😭 At 34, I’m pretty much giving up on ever having a child.

    I’ve had problems with my period since I first got it at 13 years old over 10 years ago . I’ve gone 2 years with no period . Sometimes I get it for a few months then I don’t get it for another few. It has been very unpredictable . Got diagnosed with Pcos 2 years ago . I started growing hairs on my face and chin . Then my oily skin got oilier which led to more breakouts 😩. Horrible craving and mood swings . My doctor told me to stay always from soy and dairy . Stress is one major factor along with obesity . I’m similar in weight like you are. I’ve tried different birth control over the years and they all make me bleed for weeks at a time. My body hates birth control , it’s not for everyone. I started taking Maca Root capsules 2 months ago and I got my period 2 months in a row and my mood is better . It’s a struggle but eating a balanced healthy diet is also super important.

    I appreciate your insights and enjoyed hearing your story. I just want to point out a few things: 1) your weight often fluctuates 2-5lbs throughout the day, so losing 2-3lbs more than likely won't affect your period. 2) it's almost impossible to completely cut out carbs since vegetables are a carbohydrate - carbs are in more than bread and pasta.

    I'm so confused, unfortunately I am underweight and now I've completely lost my period, I've tried picking up because I thought maybe that was the issue, on top of that I can't eat so many types of foods so it's really hard.
    I'm so glad you are having them tho, too hear someone is doing well and just getting to a better situation gives me hope

    I don't know if you're interesting in doing a vegan or plant based diet, but Mic the Vegan has a video on PCOS which affects 20 percent of women! I didn't know, as I don't have it. But I'm glad more people are talking about it as it affects so many. I'm glad you've gone dairy free. I used to be vegetarian (now vegan), and when I ate dairy, I'd get respiratory infections and a bad cough. When I cut it out completely, it helped so much! Have not had that problem since.

      You haven't had your period for more than a year? Didn't you get yourself checked? I haven't had mine in 9 months and I am freaking out cuz doctors say that it's not good for the uterine wall to build up. That's why we need period so the uterine wall sheds off every month which is our period. I really hope for my period to come back

    I have PCOS but for me my periods last 2-3 months straight no stopping just heavy bleeding the whole time and sometimes it lasts longer then that. And ill be off it for 1-2 months. I've been dealing with pcos since I was 9 when I first started my periods. This hormonal disease terrifies me Bec of all the things that can go wrong and what pcos causes like cancer/ diabetes/ patterned baldness etc. And since I have PCOS the extra testosterone in me causes extra hair on my body like belly/ lip/ chin/back etc which has caused me to have body dysphoria. Its a real struggle and I've had to be hospitalized several times for the excess amount of blood my body is shedding. Its extremely scary and I just found out it's a high chance I won't be able to have children now I'm 18 and my life is just beginning yet I feel like everything I was hoping for in the future is already being taken away from me.
