Went to doctors today at first I thought things would be fine until the doctorsfound out i have P.C.O.S. (unbalanced hormones) I had no clue to what that was after reviewing the fact I get my periods 3 times a year ever since I got my first period was strange after some test the confirmed it I broke to tears hear this it can lead to diabetes and hearts disease to make matters worse they I have undeveloped ovars meaning I can not have children in my future it is treatable but the doctors have to have my insurance approve my treatments to book my appointments I don't know how they treat this but its to much to bare for a 17 year old girl

Hey,its so bad to hear about that . . but its another challenge you'll have to face, at that age, you're still so young, but at these times you should show how a 17 yr. old girl like you can be strong, and always remember you don't have to face it alone, you have God, you have your family, your friends and we dollars are here for you.. YOU ARE STRONG! WE'RE HERE TO HELP, SO PLEASE.. BE WELL AND FIGHT ON!

I'm so sorry. I empathise you - I really, really do. I'm a carrier of Thalassaemia; sure, I technically can carry children, but, there's a very high chance that they'll be born with a lot of health problems and I would never put my child any child through that suffering. I treat myself as barren (what dude would want a handicapped child).

I read somewhere about your diagnosis, though.

PCOS is one of the most common infertility issues. Treatment can involve medications such as Metformin (used for diabetes) or Clomid (used to induce ovulation). Diet and exercise should also be part of PCOS treatment. It is still possible to get pregnant with PCOS, many women do. See a fertility specialist (reproductive endocrinologist) for more information. (Cited from here.)

I think this article may be informative as well. I don't want to give you false hope - I'm no specialist so I don't really know the full scope of this matter, but I just can't bear to know someone else is going through a turmoil like my own - it's really cruel indeed. Don't give up on yourself though.

I give you all my faith and best wishes.

Thank you all thank you

I might have a similar problem (my period has just come 4 months late) but i'm still waiting for the hospital to give me an appointment. It's been three months and they'll probably take another 2-4. :(
Whatever happens you can't let this problem dominate your life. Just keep going, and if it ever causes any problems for you, overcome them as best you can.
Best of luck with whatever treatment you're given.
:)

I am amazed by how strong you are. I sincerely hope that you will carry on and that your health improves.
Whenever you feel like it is over and you cannot go on, remember, there is always someone who will listen and help ease your burden even if it is just a tiny bit. As long as some people care about others, you will never be alone.
