PCOS Awareness Video
So many people don't know about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I was inspired to do this because I saw other videos with the same message. I know that the text is a little hard to read in some places, but I tried my best. --- Stock photography is from deviantART and stock.xchng and are copyrighted to their owners. --- The song is Lighthouse by Hope

please change your nutrition. Eat more fruits and veggies, get off the red meat, and dairy. Juice your fruits and veggies if you cant eat an abundance of them- and watch your body heal itself. Blessings. oh and postive affirmations!

I have to admit, I was surprised that most the facts on here are actually true. There are so many rumors about PCOS, especially since it was featured on “Mystery Diagnosis” It’s almost impossible to separate fact and fiction, most doctors don’t even know what to believe anymore.
I was diagnosed at 26, I’d been on birth control 13 years and saw no symptoms until I couldn’t afford BCP.
I guess I was lucky though since I never wanted kids in the first place. The other symptoms are tolerable.

Cycters, don’t listen to those who say you can’t loose weight. Weight loss is easy if you know HOW to do it. I lost 25 pounds in 3 months doing the following: eliminate refined carbohydrates and sugars, eat whole grain foods, increase proteins and fibre, cut down on fatty foods, increase fruits and vegetables, get lots of sunshine AND exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes three times a week.

@bouncingbubbles08 YEAP IVE BEEN DOING THAT YOU ARE CORRECT!!!!!!!! WHAT MEDICATION DID YOUR DOCTOR PRESCRIBE YOU?????

@Ivette901 After I lost 35 pounds and was having regular periods I was put on metformin. But I had to stop taking it because it gave me low blood sugar. If a woman’s pcos is caused by insulin resistance, the best way to tackle it is through lifestyle changes. I don’t believe in taking medication for a disease that is largely caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. A lot of cysters are on meds trying to ovulate yet they’re still eating all the junk that is causing their problems.

Thank you for making this. I was diagnosed when I was 18. But they had be been monitoring me since I was 14. It’s hard to explain this to people without crying. This makes it so much easier. Thankyou!

I’ve been “studying” PCOS for quite some time now. Although I haven’t consulted a gynecologist, I know that I have a really great chance of having PCOS because of my weight struggles, and my abnormal menstrual cycle.. :(
It pains me a lot, since the only thing I want most in this life is to be a mommy. And as early as now, I think I’m gonna have difficulty. I wanna be a woman. I wanna be a confident woman…
I’m 17 and I think I have PCOS.. :(

GREAT VIDEO!! You did an awesome job!
Some corrections to be made:
PCOS is an endocrine disease that MAY affect the ovaries and MAY produce cysts on the ovaries called PCO/Polycystic Ovaries. PCO no longer defines PCOS. The name PCOS was given many decades ago before we know what we know today.
PCOS has been seen in girls as young as 5. It is usually presentable in the form of Precocious Puberty although this has not been scientifically and formally connected.

GREAT VIDEO! Beautiful job, great song choice.
Some corrections:
PCOS is an endocrine disease that MAY affect the ovaries. PCO no longer defines PCOS. The name presented decades ago before we know what we do today. Not all experience PCO – 30% or more.
PCOS can be seen as young as 5. Usually seen as Precocious Puberty, although not scientifically proven. Many show common mental disorders like ADD/ADHD, Bipolarism, depression & isolation.

Aside from weight issues, PCOS women come in all shapes & forms, which does not necessarily preclude you from conceiving…it is important to remember, you cannot be on clomid, metformin or bcp without proper diagnosis & proper monitoring so that you follow the correct treatment path. Not all PCOS sufferers are insulin resistant. There is hope & success for all of you with the correct health care provider.

I’ve had acne since i was 10, I’m almost 19 and I know who to blame now PCOS.I’m also very thin because of it .Some of my friends have it too,most of them are embarrssed to talk about it and some haven’t taken any medical help either.Im sorry to say but your video depressed me.I mean i know i ahve it found out last year but yeah it sucks when you know all its effects.
September 19th, 2010 - 22:57
I have this too, your video made me cry because i am in exactly the same situation as you, being only 15 myself also.
But you have to believe they will someday find a cure, it is the only thing that keeps me going sometimes, i dream of having a child one day and i am determined that i will have one.
Just remember you are not alone in this <3
