Women with PCOS Speak From the Heart
Many myths surround Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, a condition affecting seven percent of women of reproductive age. One is the belief that it will lead to infertility. Associate Professor John Eden puts women’s mind to rest.
I was diagnosed at 16 with Stein Leventhal (PCOS) and had a problem with my periods being highly unpredictable for years. By the time I was 20, my lipids were very high and I had to be on a very strict diet or I would easily gain weight. I had cancer at age 38 and had to have removal of uterus, ovaries, f. tubes, all of it. I did manage to have one daughter before I got cancer. Now, I am way post menopause and the main problem is itchy skin and weight control. I take Metformin and am not diabetic, but I eat very few sweets and not much carb in general. I am a little disturbed that the medical community does not address the problems after menopause that PCOS women experience. I thought I would be just fine after the hysterectomy. Not so. Infertility turns out to be just one of many problems associated with this disease and, as I said, I wish there was more attention to the other aspects as women do live longer now and at 62, I would like to hear from more women like me.
This design is steller! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between youur wit and your videos, I wwas almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!)
Great job. I really loved what you had too say, aand more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
It’s nearly impossible to find educated people in this particular topic, but you sound like you know what you’re
talking about! Thanks
It took me years to have my daughter…and then came my son…naturally. Check out my story at pregnantwithpcos.com to read my story along with what I took to be pregnant within 3 months.
