Please help. I'm 22 and have FINALLY after years of irregular periods been diagnosed with PCOS. My hormones came back normal. I only have the symptoms of acne and hair loss. I have always been extremely active and extremely healthy (I have a slight OCD phobia about weight gain)- the acne I can deal with but I'm so scared i will develop the symptom of weight gain later in life. Has this happened to anyone?

Also, as i know PCOS can cause fertility problems later in life, is it worth considering getting my eggs frozen? as a precaution incase i fall infertile later in life?

I am so new to this and cant help thinking the worst that my mild pcos will get worse

    Infertility caused by PCOS is because the hormone imbalance, ive not read anywhere it gets worse with age?

    If you are not struggling with weight gain now i dont think you will in the future, you do not have to develop every symptom ! stop stressing smile x
