I’m in South Africa and luckily doctors will help me if I push, but there is always this element of dismissiveness because you can’t possibly be suffering unless you can’t conceive. There is a lot more to this condition than the fertility issues. Having a normal cycle/weight/insulin should be prioritised just as much as fertility.

YES YES YES. Omg. Not sure if you’re UK based but I feel like in the UK there is no help or support for those with PCOS that have no intention of getting pregnant. Doctors won’t prescribe me anything that would help me get my period back because they don’t see the point if I don’t want to get pregnant, I just want a normal menstrual cycle that isn’t 250+ days long!
