Please comment! I just got diagnosed with PCOS

Posted , 3 users are following.

So I had noticed since I started college back in 14’ I stopped ovulating. This past year and a half i have had irregular periods, I would get it twice a month. This past Monday I couldn’t go to work because I was not able to walk, reason being I was bleeding all over the place even with a tampon+ & a pad. After that happen I got myself checked and it turns out I have a blood clot in my uterus, and ALOT of cysts in both my ovaries. 

My period symptoms are: 

-heavy periods 

-a belt of pain in my abdomen all the way to my lower back 

-swollen boobs 

Also, my feet and hands are recently extremely sweaty but I feel cold. 

I also feel extremely sad, and I cannot get myself out of this state. I have suicidal thoughts, but I’d never harm myself. 

Is depression and anxiety a relation to PCOS? 

Has anyone else experienced the same issues? 

Will I have issues with pregnany? 

What should I expect ? 

I’m 21 yo. & my name is Jacqueline, any comments are greatly appreciated.

    I’m not sure about PCOS and depression but PCOS is caused by a hormonal imbalance so I can imagine it may well have an effect on moods! 

    I take powdered maca root to help my symptoms and I have acupuncture once a week which helps a lot with my period pains and ovulation pains and also my skin! I buy maca root powder and then I buy empty capsules and fill them as I tried the powder in smoothies and my god it tastes terrible!!! 

    But from what I understand about maca root it is classed at a good therefore you can’t overdose on it, I take between 5-10 capsules a day, I try to break it up so 5 in the am and 5 in the pm.

    Good luck!!

    Yes!!!! I’m 21 too and I’m experiencing the same thing too. I’ve never been this bad in my life! Have they put you on a diet or medication? Mine got so bad so I had to go on medication because I was having the same thoughts and feelings! Hang in there!!

      They prescribed me birth control, I will be monitoring my periods & pain up until the summer. I will be checked again, and I might have surgery to get them removed if the birth control does not help. But thank you, I will try! Hang in there as well!!
