Its finally kicking in the final symptom...

[dragonqueen]

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19. I thought "I can't have it I am not that heavy and I am not growing facial hair." The only things I had to diagnose it was irregular periods and cysts on my ovaries. Well since then I have been developing other symptoms and found that I had other symptoms and didn't know it. after I got pregnant with my first child I started growing facial hair. When I was a little girl I had a mole on my neck, so I thought that it was normal for my family to have these moles. Turns out that was another symptom. Now my final symptom is kicking in. I am gaining weight uncontrollably. I exercise and eat very healthy most of the time. I have always had a high self esteem, I must admit that every time my pants go up a size my self esteem goes lower and my depression kicks in. I guess it is time to seek help of the doctors to control this but I don't have any extra money to do so. I also want more children and I am afraid I will do what my mom did (I am guessing she has PCOS as well she shows a lot of the symptoms) and start menopause at 30. Brian doesn't even want more kids for 5 years and I am afraid by that time it will be too late.

 Ok, go to the dr. and get some help.  I had this happen to me in my 20's, and once I got Rx help (but I was also actively TTC), I lost 25 lbs. WITHOUT doing ANYTHING different.  All of a sudden, I noticed my clothes were lterally swimming on me...!  I am serious,, I just didnt' realize it.  Cuz I wasn't dieting.
