Pcossupport - Blog Posts

Hello! I'm looking for people with diagnosed PCOS to answer my anonymous survey. I'm diagnosed with PCOS and for my Biomedical Science course I'm doing my BI project on PCOS and medication. I need active participants please! Thank you :]

And we´re BACK (MIA, burnout, health updates, etc)

Hey yaĺl,

It´s been a while...more than a while actually, but who´s counting?

A lot has happened since my last check in on this blog. There have been many life changes, ranging from good to horrible, that required some (a lot of) adjusting. I´m still adjusting and coming to terms with certain events that transpired, but, you know what? I´m still here. So...we move (no matter how burnt out we are).

Speaking of changes...some of said changes have been health-related, one of which is being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). My symptoms have been especially out of wack these past few weeks, so I decided I need to get back on my ZOOM. What better way to do that than to be active within this lovely community again?

Apart from the PCOS, I really want to work on improving my physical and mental health as a whole. I will be making another post with the specific health goals I am aiming to accomplish this year.

I plan on posting about my daily workouts again and will start including posts about my meals as well.

Additionally, I am looking for more fitness/wellness blogs to follow. So definitely like this post/follow me if that fits your description. I would love to be mutuals and motivate each other. :) Bonus points if you also have PCOS. It would be amazing to have more people with similar goals and similar experiences to bless my timeline. lol

Until Later.

Rant of a PCOS Girlie

I am so angry at the society that failed me as a human being. I hate being a woman. Why our reproductive system and complications are so understudied. Why do we and our health come out at the end of the barrel when the whole population depends on us. For my whole life, I have suffered so much because of my periods. In my teenage days, I cried so many nights, days, and evenings because of abdominal cramps; it was so painful, I felt like I might pass out. And the irony is among all these I had to study, attend my classes and expect to get good grades, cause come on, it's just periods, no big deal!. I literally had to sit in my washroom because it was so painful, uncomfortable.

I am so angry at my parents, too. When I used to cry, bleed out, my mother used to say it's normal, everybody has pain. No! it's not normal to feel like you might pass out, lightheaded, or bleed for days after days. Never did they think that it might be something else. Because of it's periods, it's regarding a woman's reproductive health, a specific organ, and because nobody in society bothers to do proper research about it. Oh, you have menstruation issues- here either go on hormonal tablets or take a contraceptive pill.

Now, being in my late twenties and diagnosed with severe PCOS and having to flip out my lifestyle, diets, and food preferences just to undo years and years of negligence, makes me feel that it's so unfair to me. I was a child, they should have researched and taken care of me.

I know it is their first time being parents too, and I tell myself every day. But it's so unfair and unjust to me, I didn't sign for this. I have my uterus, I have it so much. I hate that society to not live up to us. If men had uterus, there would never be so much unfairness regarding their treatment.

I am so tired.

We aren't sure if the body has PCOS currently, but it is possible as the body's mom had it. We know that she would have never even wanted anything to do with the intersex community [cause she was very Christian and transphobic, so to really say that there are more than 2 sexs would probably also be a no, lol].

We want to actually get tested but don't know how to go about it. If any being has any suggestions & tips, we would love to hear them.

[Also, please don't talk too bad about the body's mom as she is dead. She wasn't really good, but still, we loved and still do love her].

reminder that PCOS is an intersex variation and bullying, harassing and misgendering people who have PCOS isn't helping the intersex community, or anyone else, for that matter. there's no reason to be rude or say it doesn't "count". thats not for you to dictate. you're not helping other intersex people by saying people with PCOS aren't intersex, all you're doing is hurting intersex people when you do so.
