I need to stop stressing

DemFeels July 18, 2018 10:35 pm

I don't know why but I'm getting really anxious over a disease (PCOS) cause I'm concerned that I may get it. My rational side is saying to me I don't have it as I'm not overweight nor have terribly irregular periods (they may be a couple of days early or late) but I have been losing a lot of hair recently though my hair is still thick and I've always been hairier than most people.
I don't know how I'd handle having it as I've always wanted to have children. I don't know why I'm freaking out so much right now but I feel like everyone has it and it scares me. I know it sounds terrible but I wish everyone would stop talking about it cause every time I get reminded about it all I get is insane anxiety and worry about my next period, then for the next month I spend stressing over it which in turn delays my period even more ;/

    Go to a gynaecologist and let her run some tests on you. In order for it to be pcos there are some criterias that have to be fulfilled: anovulation, hirsutism and of course polycystic ovaries and if you have 2/3 you habe pcos. Irregularities in habing your periids is normal and may be influenced by stress etc. My best friend has pcos and said to me that she suddenly didnt get her period anymore - at all. So if you are really that anxious, why not getting an ultrasound. Also how hairy you are depends on your origins as well and might not be pathologic. Your hair loss can also depend on other things: stress, lack of vitamins, thyroidea etc. Try not to stress over it too much :)

    Visit a gynecologist so you can know where you stand for certain. Also, just because someone has PCOS, doesn't mean they won't be able to have children, take it from someone who has PCOS (me) :)

    Really? I always thought you couldn't, I honestly don't know why I'm basically revolving my existence around a child.
