I actually thought I was the only one who got depressed about this.. I'm 22 and was diagnosed when I was 16, I've only had 4 periods in my life (which Im more than aware some people think is lucky) I was told about it at hospital by a doctor who I couldn't understand a word she said and told me i'l never have kids.. it's only through constantly googling PCOS that I find anything out about it. I'm not over weight, haven't been since I was 11 which was puppy fat, Im dark haired so suffer quite badly with the Hirsuitism side affect, but other than that, its the mood swings from never having periods (seems to have an option of happening all the time rather than just a week of a month) and the random abdomen cramps, I had to change doctors as mine refused to help me when I wanted a check up after 5 years, finally managed to get another ultra sound and they found a cyst of 4 inches which was seen to be dangerous, then after an internal ultra sound it had burst anyway (and that HURT!!) The lack of support is unreal, I was put on anti depressants when I said it upset me that I may not be able to conceive naturally, and told my only option to have normal periods is to have them induced, but then if i did want to get pregnant it would be 3 years after coming off the pill that anyone would consider looking at me.. Im in no rush to have kids.. but to know the options not really there just because of cysts on my ovaries is unreal!!

Hello,

I've just been diagnosed with having a cyst on my ovary which is over 10cms big. This astonishes me! I was wondering if anybody who has experienced cysts can tell me if the condition has any effect on moods? I've been feeling stressed, low and tired for some time and think this could be one of the reasons. I've also become very hairy!

Every month, on the first day of my period, i get extreme pain! It feels like my stomach is been grabbed by a big pair of hands and twisted apart! And then the sickness comes. violent, projectile vomit. All day! Im literally bedridden screaming my heart out with the pain but i actually welcome the sickness because it takes the pain away, for a minute or two that is! And i bloat so bad i literally look like a hippo!!! Everyone thinks im pregnant with triplets! and thats not jut when im on my period, thats all the time!!! its hell and iv been fired three times because of it!!! Is there anything wrong with me or does my body just hate me? My diet isnt bad and i excerize a lot so i just want to know the problem!!! Is it anything serious and what can i do about it?

Thanx

hi , The docs havent officially diagnosed me, but I have had 4 cysts removed, and after a month they found another one. after a year of the most pain I ever experienced, and I have 4 kids, I finally got a shot of depo-provera, I can finally walk, im not bed ridden for a week at a time. I tried natural progesterone,birth control (what a mistake) Im still way over weight(I weight 125 pounds a yr ago, since the cysts im now 155 pounds) anyways, Im eating healthy, but my energy is so low, I really sympathize with everyone here, i cant stand the depression and my appearance, but I guess I should be thankful the pain is at a minimal strength.

I have been "diagnosed" with PCOS for the last 5 years. I have endometrioses as well as an underactive thyroid. My hormone levels are fine. I do not have hair growth. My periods are not irregular. I have bleeding every 2 weeks and my period, when I can tell it’s my period is always heavy. I never suffered badly from PMS or mood changes. I also suffer from IBS and have a stomach ulcer.

The pain from this condition is excruciating. I am bed ridden in agony for 5-6 days every 2 weeks or so during ovulation and my period as the pain travels down the nerves to my legs. This on top of my thyroid leaves me exhausted. I had a great career and great social life with a bright future before this started 3 years ago. Now, I am unemployed and my mood changes are so bad (due to the changing of my pill so many times) that I don’t socialise any more. I have spent over €2000 in 3 months on doctors and medication. I am depressed, my confidence is low and I am hopeless about finding a doctor who will be sympathetic and want to help. All I get is increasing pain relief. As my pain medication (ponstan) increases so does the pain of taking them. The ponstan rips the stomach out of me. Pain relief does not fix the problem. They will not give me a lap because they say I am too young.

I am 24, And my life is at a standstill until I find help, but as we all know – there is no help – no doctors, that will take it more serious than a child with a varuca becuase they say it is as common.

if so, why wont anyone help us?
