@pcos.weight.loss: Isn’t it crazy how often PCOS goes misdiagnosed? They’ve renamed it to PMOS, hopefully that’ll help..but we’ll see! Even if you have the slightest bit of insulin resistance, this can affect your PCOS symptoms- unfortunately this is overlooked. If you don’t have diabetes or pre diabetes, they tell you to go on your merry way… there is so much you can do to balance your blood sugar and reverse your PCOS symptoms. #pcos #pcosweightloss #pcosproblems #pcoslife #pcosawareness

Willowmeana :

Haha. 😂 took me 15 years to get my PCOS diagnosed and 20 to get my endometriosis one…..

Danielle Leask🌻🇨🇦 :

I was accurately diagnosed at 16 (yay) however I was given no information on what it meant, what it could cause, if there was anything I could do about it, just "you have PCOS, come back to us when you're ready to have kids and we will figure it out" - developed diabetes and was told "yeah we've checked your A1C every year since you were diagnosed with PCOS" 🙃

Balanced Bites with Kate :

So true… Unfortunately, many doctors still don’t take it seriously enough, and some don’t really understand it properly either. There are only a few doctors who genuinely take the time to learn more about it, either because they’re passionate about the subject or because they simply want to stay up to date in their field. Some doctors don’t even know that the name has changed…

People just go around thinking its normal to have a belly string, darker hair on arms, impossible to get pregnant, mustache. more like a male personality. but its really not. i got diagnosed when i went to Gyn trying to get pregnant at 17. and then they saw it on the scans that my ovaries looked nothing like a "normal" womans ovaries. i got a letter home after the test that confirmed it. i also get cycst that burst and i have to go to hospital due to so much pain. (when my ovaries has to much eggs in a ball and no ovalation to get rid of them) and that ball burst. like no other pain
