3 surgeries, multiple hospitalisations (one only last week for endometrium hyperplasia and subsequent anaemia as a result of my PCOS), periods that literally last for months. The problem is so many doctor's still don't fully understand it and simply tell you to lose weight and prescribe BCP. It's the worst!
This made me laugh... Thank you for making me smile! 8 months after having a baby I look like a teenage gorilla (fat, hairy, pimples, sweaty, yuk)... Turns out, baby weight isn't easy to lose with PCOS! At least other people understand!
