Hi!! I'm new but not new to the board but not to PCOS
I was diagnosed when I was 16 with Chronic anovultion. I didn't understand until after I had children and couldn't lose the "baby" weight that I had PCOS. I'm now 33 and fat. I hate it.I'm so thankful that I didn't deal with the infertility part of PCOS and I wouldn't trade my kids for anything. I love my babies and I wish I could have had the 4th that I always thought I would have. I understand now that more than likely that just isn't going to be posible. Anyway as I said I was diagnosed when I was 16, I've always had ridiculously heavy periods and honestly now that I understand why I am shocked and thankful for the children that I have. My oldest son is 11, my daughter is 9 and my youngest son is 7. I'm really disgusted with the fact that my husband can just stop drinking(beer) and lose 15 pounds in 2 weeks. I stop drinking(beer) and I gain a pound. No matter that I was trying to watch what else I'm eating. It is so stinking frustrating that I want to say who cares if I'm fat. I almost say not me and then I remember my kids. They may not act as if they care now but they will soon and they will care as they get older and begin thier own lives. And darn it I want to be there then! I want to spoil my future grandbabies and do for my kids what my parents are able to do for me and my family.
