Life with PCOS
Here is something that many of you may not know about me. I was not supposed to have children, or at the very least, getting pregnant would be very difficult for me. I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. This is why I cannot have anymore children. I was diagnosed in 2003 after trying to get for a year to get pregnant. It would take 2 more years and me finally giving up for me to finally get pregnant with my son. But is so much more than having a bunch of cysts on my ovaries. It is an endocrine and a metabolic disorder. It is systemic. There are 4 main types of PCOS, and some types are more obvious than others. For many women, it makes it nearly impossible to lose weight, diets and exercise just don't work very well, and they have to try 100 time harder just to lose a pound where it takes others a few workouts or cutting out a certain food. I am fortunate that I am not one who deals so much with weight problems, but I do put on weight easier than I would prefer. Oth
