Advice please!

I'm 20 and I also just got told I have polycystic ovaries but I feel like I've know for years, I've been told the same thing "calm down," "relax" etc which is no help, I literally can't think of anything I'd rather do than have children (which to some people is probably a terrible thing to think but hey!) But on a positive note, I can't tell you how upset I am about it as I'm not trying for a baby I don't know how it will affect me (and neither do you) BUT my mum and BOTH of my grans ALL have polycystic ovaries and they have all had three children each! So although I feel pretty hopeless right now, I have some hope that people CAN have kids with PCOS and if you do have it you'll have caught it early and can get the treatment you need goodluck, I hope everything goes okay, either way!

I'm 22 I was diagnosed July 1st 2014. I wasn't even told to relax, I was just told I had it and sent on my way, I had my 2nd & 3rd scan yesterday and the woman was helpful and explained things to me.The nurse yesterday basically said as I have the symptoms I've got the running up to pcos as they're not cysts in my ovaries they're follicles (cysts are over 1cm)

 We all feel like that, I still get like it now and everyday I think about having a baby, I'm lucky that my boyfriend of 5 years is understanding and in August we decided that if possible we will TTC as soon I've sorted myself out as we both want kids with each other, I want to carry our baby and I'm worried that might not happen or I'll miss my chance. We agreed that if we couldn't we will adopt or use his sperm, but it's not the same (as selfish as that may sound) it's natural for us to feel this way, we're women it's in our nature to want to mother.

My sister has pcos she was diagnosed about 5 years ago when she was around 20 she now has a son who will be 3 next month, so there's still that little bit of hope. For the last month or so I've been talking to a woman on this site who is going through exactly what I am and it has helped keep me cool and get things off my chest, sometimes you just need to talk to someone.

I advise talking about it, don't lock it all up but don't tell everyone you know as it puts pressure on you (I've only told my bf, my parents, my sisters and good friend). Keep your weight under control now, as you may put weight on and it's hard to lose. Try vitamins, eat healthy, exercising helps lower your blood sugar levels and control weight. My sister says her symptoms are less when she keeps her weight down.

Good luck 😃
