Newly Diagnosed
Hi Everyone,
i'm 23 years old and I have just this morning been diagnosed with PCOS.

It's hard but we're all here for you!!!
I'm sorry to hear about that. If you're bleeding alot during your period, that could cause the dizziness too
Can’t say you will or won’t struggle I’ve had 3 miscarriages I’m 26 an I just started clomid which a fertility drug to help you ovulate and become pregnant good luck there is still hope

I’ve been trying to stick to a mainly healthy diet and that seems to be keeping my periods in check. I suppose whatever the future holds will be so I just have to do my best to manage it in the meantime
