Three years ago, I asked Wiki what is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? The response was: answer
I was diagnosed when I was 23 years old--I was totally clueless when my previous OB formally concluded that I have PCOS.
As soon as I arrived home, I googled what the heck does this syndrome mean .. and most of what I read online scared me. Obesity + Not ovulating + Infertility + Excess Androgen. + Scary Etc stuff. When I saw women support groups, I realized that this is a real issue. I cried and got depressed because of a diagnosis that I half-understood.
I was crying because of how scary it sounded. I was scared of the Infertility word.
I was scared because nobody knew about it--nobody from my immediate family and friends knew much about it and I felt that it was just me explaining to people what it is.
It was just me.
Depression set in.. took prescribed OCP..ballooned gained weight.. got frustrated.. was numb.. eventually I stopped putting an effort on it.. I was just floating.
Until now.
