I was diagnosed infertile at 16, told I was never gonna have kids, never had a regular period, pretty much checked off all the symptoms of pcos BUT last month we celebrated my daughters first birthday 💕 conceived naturally

[nitanee]

I have PCOS and I remember how I felt when the doctor told me it would be hard for me to conceive. I now have 4 children, very successful pregnancies. God blessed me!

[oliviajeanne]

I feel like nobody talks about how hard it is to have pcos when you also have an eating disorder. with so many people saying "just eat less" and "you'll feel better if you lose weight" it makes my relationship with food that much worse. does anyone else feel like this too?

[sageunique]

Does anyone else get so tired? With my PCOS The fatigue it’s a struggle to get through the day no matter what I do.

Praying a cure becomes available for us woman with PCOS

[Stormwiz]

She is not "over reacting", she's acting extremely reasonable for having to drastically change her life in the matter of a short weeks. Also she is my QUEEN!!

[chrisell]

The comment section on this video is saddening. The amount of people who think this woman is over reacting is crazy, especially when over half of you are saying you have PCOS! It's painful, it causes thyroid issues, ruptured cysts, hormone imbalances among other issues and is different for every woman who gets it! I haven't been able to get pregnant for 10 years and that includes treatment! On top of the infertility it sent me into pre-menopause! My recent pregnancy was high risk because of the low progesterone and the rate of miscarriage for women with PCOS is 30%! I'm not saying every case is scary and dramatic, I'm saying being afraid and sad over a condition that you didn't know you had that absolutely affects your life is normal. I am glad she had the courage to make this video and try to cope and help educate others. Good job.

I had pcos & Now I’m 5 months pregnant 🤰🏼
Don’t give up god is good 😌

[trashbag]

FINALLY A VIDEO ON PCOS! thank you so much for this video and the representation.

[antoniob_]

I'm a guy and I just watched the video. It made me aware of how serious PCOS is and how frustrated finding answers and a solution can really be due to a limited amount of resources. To Nyla and others in the comments or even reading this comment I'll keep you all in my prayers and I hope that you are able to overcome any issues in your life.

God bless 💜

Pcos the only time you're happy to have your period.. My sisters are constantly getting there's and I'm over here just waiting like.. Any day now.. I'd be grateful to feel like a woman

[carissacarter]

Anyone watching this because they just got diagnosed...

[sonjamarie]

When she started crying because the doctor prescribed her that generic birth control and told her to watch what you eat, I started crying because I know exactly how it feels. It’s comforting to know that people are going through the same thing I go through and other women go through. Thanks for this video ❤️

[Puriantartica]

Wow pcos is really draining everything in my life. I went from a really skinny girl to borderline obese. The weight loss part of it is so exhausting and heartbreaking. Weight loss is a uphill battle for me.

[TheOrchidBird]

Just to clarify, hair on your chin does NOT always mean you have PCOS.

[leerenee]

I was diagnosed in 2009 right after a miscarriage. I sometimes would have 4 periods a year if that. Facial hair still ridiculous. My Dr told me I couldn't have kids. At first I was devastated then I got ok with it. Been with my boyfriend 17 years with just that 1 miscarriage no more pregnancies. Then after we decided to just live life travel and adopt later bam pregnant. A girl in 2016. Out of the blue got pregnant again when my daughter was 6 months. Due any day now. There is hope. Life will happen. Science only goes so far. BTW I changed Drs.

[crybaby.]

I have PCOS as well and looking at the comments and seeing so many woman talk about PCOS and how it effects them truly saddens me but it also reminds me just how strong women truly are.

You are all beautiful, strong women. Never let anyone tell you any differently.

[aprajitabhandari]

She is soooo right about being happy when you finally get your period 😅

[livefortheweekends]
