PCOS Craziness

My good friend sent me a link to information about PCOS. Throughout my infertility, trying to come up with money for IVF and looking at possible ways for adoption, I have thought less and less about my disease PCOS. Which I should definitely not do. I have a very dangerous "degree"  of PCOS which can cause many hardships throughout my life and my health. Sometimes I think it is too much to think about and the always questions of "why me?" Life is hard enough without the additional issues that I have now because of PCOS. I have a loving husband and a wonderful 17 year old step son but sometimes I want more. Knowing there is a piece of me (and John) that is missing and we cannot fill it at this time. No matter what we do oer how much we save my PCOS is causing this heartache. Talking about it helps a little but so many do not fully understand the hardship. Things have gotten worse health wise and I have to figure out how to fix it. It has seemed to take over while I was/am busy with all the other life things that we have to do. One day I would love to wake up and have even one prayer answered. John does such an amazing job at keeping things positive. It was not for him, I do not know where I would be now but I sure know I would not be as well. Well here is the info my friend sent me and I hope it helps my followers to understand PCOS and may give you light on the health risks that is causes.
Thanks for reading!

Polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) occurs when a hormone imbalance interferes with normal ovulation. PCOS is a major cause of infertility; if it is not treated, it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Common symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome include irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, acne, male-pattern hair loss, and male-type hair growth on the face and body. Symptoms may occur early in the condition or develop gradually.

The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome is not fully understood. Genetics are a factor.

There is no known cure for polycystic ovary syndrome. Treatment focuses on correcting reproductive hormone levels, metabolism problems, and body weight.
