I talk to and got people to write stories and tips or information about a think how things work about their thing that they’ve experienced so there is a personal element to the website I won’t be sharing any names or anything like part but this is the stories and tips that I got from people around me I got permission to use it for the website as it would be anonymous they all agree to that so that’s good
PCOS
I was first diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17. It took me around three years to get a proper diagnosis after not having a period for 2 whole years. I started my period late at 15 which should have been a warning sign from the beginning but of course back then I had no idea what PCOS was or that it even existed. I went to the doctor a total of three times before I was given a proper answer. All those times I was given a male doctor that just shrugged it off because I hadn’t started my period that long ago. However when I finally got a female doctor she booked me an appointment for an ultrasound which showed that I had cysts on my ovaries e.g PCOS. It shows how little doctors know about PCOS since it wasn’t paid attention to for 3 years.
I’m now 22 and have fully accepted the fact that I have PCOS and there isn’t much I can do about it. I have most symptoms that you can get with PCOS so it really hasn’t been easy for me. But as long as I stay fit and healthy thats the best I can do at this point. It can still be very draining mentally sometimes, especially when I think hard about it and realise how difficult it might be for me in the future. But the best I can do is stay positive and just live my life as much as I possibly can. At the beginning I really did struggle with it and I felt very alone, as if no one really understood what I was going through. This was mainly due to the fact that the lack of research and funding means you can’t get many answers to the questions you have. Even though so many people suffer with the condition. I think this is what angers and upsets me the most. We need more ways to deal with this apart from being given the pill and moving on.
ADVICE:
- It’ll be okay. It might seem bleak now and you may feel really upset but honestly it isn’t the end of the world. You’ll be able to live a mostly normal life once you get a hold of what is best for your body in order for it to deal with PCOS and what’s comes with it. Staying positive is the best policy! I find exercising helps me an awful lot with my mental health and with PCOS symptoms. It’ll help to keep your mind focussed and happy.
the pill
I got on the pill one I found out that my cousin had endometriosis and apparently the pill is the only thing they transcribe you if you have any right meter is it anyway so decided to get on it and take my time to get tested because of the pandemic, when I started I started to feel quite bad I gained weight I didn’t like myself much quite a depressive and stay actually I know it doesn’t happen to everyone but to me it kind of felt like a blanket over the world nothing was quite as fun see used to be. I then decide to get off it but I don’t know what to do now I think I wanna get the coil because it seems it’s a highchair at risk of rejection of it but it last for many years and it’s quite safe in that way.
copper coil
I got the coil a couple years ago I think my body want to reject it which it does to fair few people I was having fever and like really I was really really ill but I braved it and it works now but it was horrendous for weeks and weeks.it is one of the safest contraceptive methods which is why I wanted it and it’s without hormoneswhich is something I really wanted because it messes with my head.
abortion
I was with my boyfriend of two years, I was 19 years old and I started throwing up every day I later found out that I had hyperemesis which makes you throw up all the time.so if I ever have a kids after this abortion I have to go through that again.I initially wanted to have the pill abortion but the lady explain to me how it worked and you have to push out the fetus essentially it’s in your toiletThe idea of that was horrifying to me so I decide to go with surgical route. I didn’t have much support from my boyfriendhe was useless essentially he complained about the fact that I was moody and sensitive to things he was fully and appreciative of the fact that my body was going through this.when I was in the clinic I was lying next to people that had miscarriages and crying for their child and here I was removing mine and I felt really bad, they also asked if I want to see it but I couldn’t face it I feel like I’d be more attached if I had a figure to remember I don’t regret getting my abortion because I wouldn’t have the life I have now if I didn’t.also the dad would not be helpful, I think even with the slight trauma that I went through with this as a lot of the nurses tried to convince me to keep it even though I was quite sure myself that I didn’t want it they tried to push me to keep it and give it up for adoption or just being a teen mum.it was really difficult because I didn’t dare tell my parents either I didn’t quite know what I was going into when I went for my appointment I was turning up every day as I said. To hide it from my motherwas quite difficult. In hindsight I probably should’ve told and she would’ve supposed me but no notes are in a good place at the minute, I wish I had someone to tell me what to expect when I was having my abortion and also wish I more more support from the nurses when I went for my appointments to suss out how far along I was and if I could have an abortion.
morning-after pill
I was with my ex-boyfriend and or night he decided to choose to not wear a condom even though I told him to.I was freaking out because I really wasn’t ready for a child I therefore decided that I wanted the morning after pill I got the Ellaone 30 MG tablet which works for several days after I didn’t take it the night after and I was freaking out but you can take it within five days which I found out and made me a lot more secure in myself but I was still iffy so I just waited for my period and thank the lucky stars when it came even though it was late it came and I felt a sense of relief that I couldn’t think that I would’ve.
