Having a kid without a husband to be the child's father is amazingly selfish.

Why are you assuming that I'm not married? I've been married for two years. Pay more attention there guy.

Great video, thanks! I've had some PCOS symptoms and have been wanting to get checked out for a while. When I went to a doctor about it though.... she didn't bother testing me AT ALL because I had fairly regular periods .. ugh. I think i'll go to a different doctor this time and demand some tests be done.

Do it girl! Sometimes it takes being relentless to get a diagnosis but it is worth it.

I have PCOS and I just found out a few days ago. Im only 18 and its nerve wracking. Ive always been 100% sure of wanting my own family one day and it might not happen now. That worries me more then to be at risk for heart desiease or cervical cancer. I know that sounds stupid, but thats just how important having a family is to me.

I thought that I might have PCOS but my doctor tested my hormones and they were normal. I also have two children and didn't have trouble conceiving. But I have many of the symptons: acne, hair lost, hair on weird parts of body; face, stomach, nipples. I also have painful periods, ovarian cyst, mood swings and weight loss.

i have PCOS.and i want to conceive a baby.I am tring from 2 yrs.But there is no positive results.I am getting hopeless.

inquire about PCOS when you go see your Dr.... and GO SEE YOUR DR! My current dr that is going to do my hysterectomy told me that because I went about 13 years misdiagnosed alot of the problems I have now are because of lazy drs that didn't look further into my symptoms when I was younger. I wish I couldve found the Dr that would've diagnosed me sooner. Good luck!

I am 44, no kids, and I have spent the last 30 years hearing about how I would someday wish I had kids. Never happened. Never. Do what you need to do.

i am working on treatment. but i think just that fact that it feels like your life is spinning out of control untill you set yourself straight it is hard. i take an anti depressant and yaz and it helps but i still have my down days but it is amazing to know that there is a whole community of women with this disease, and it is great to be able to find hope in them! thanks for this video

The gyn I went to didn't want to give me meds to re-start my period which I haven't had since Nov. 2008. She jus told me I have PCOS and that was it.

I suffer from depression, obesity, and other typical PCOS symptoms.
