Read Chelsea’s PCOS Story
It has been probably ten years since I was diagnosed. The first time what happened was I was getting acne, I was getting a lot of facial hair. My periods were like so bad and so painful I couldn’t even walk. And then I came to Canada, went to a gynecologist for my first pap smear, and they just did a normal checkup. And then they said, “I think you have PCOS.” I got an ultrasound, got a sonar histogram, and confirmed it was PCOS. And ever since then, I’ve been trying to figure out what works for me. What I would say to someone who’s been recently diagnosed with PCOS would be, “Don’t panic, you’re fine. You just have to figure out what works best for you.” I’m still trying to learn on a day to day basis, trying to work out and stay healthy, which is what I’m doing right now to combat it. PCOS is my enemy, but I know over time I can find a way to make it my friend.
