im 18 years old and ive just found out i have polycystic ovaries. i have had my period for 8 years and they have always been irrgular but i never thought anything of it. about 3 weeks ago my 16 year old sister went to the doctors because she hadnt had a period in 8 months and she found out she had pcos so i thought i would get checked out even though my periods where never as absent as that so i thought the tests would come back clear...but no i found out i too have the same condition and i was shocked i couldnt belive it, i would have never known until i was trying to have children...the worst thing was my fathers sister has had it her whole life and i dont really talk to my father but i see my aunt once a week and she never thought to tell us incase she passed it to us and i would have known years ago...i dont know what to think....i dont feel angry or upset i dont think i feel it has happen to me and u just wish it would go away...i dont know weather i will be able to have children and it just seems i keep putting on weight... im going to be using the drug metformin and i dont know much about anything im just so confused.....i would really appreciate the responce of people with the same problem and older people who have the same condition so my mind can be put at rest i feel i have no one to talk to and my aunt wont comment bacause she has never been able to have children and my sister doesnt know anything please help!!!
