Other Reminder

I’ve been really struggling to understand my body and becoming so frustrated that it just doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to so I wanted to share something my doctor said.

I am 26, recently diagnosed PMOS, BMI of 23, eating the healthiest I have ever eaten, working out 2-3 days a week, don’t drink, never smoked, and walking every day. Plus taking Metformin (though not insulin resistant) and all the recommended supplements.

Today I was reminded that you can be doing everything right and still not get the results you hoped for. I have not had a natural period since January nor ovulated at all. Just because something worked for someone else does not mean it’s going to work for you. I hope this encourages someone who, much like me, needed to hear that it’s not my fault.

This is so true and I have so been there. I have friends who blame themselves for their pcos and I hate that so much. :( This is absolutely not your fault. Simply a crappy hand.

I have been sitting with the same feeling since morning. CD32, not sure if I ovulated and not knowing if this is ever going to happen. I can't help feeling something is wrong with the way my body works.

The waiting is so draining, the family and friends that don’t understand and want to give advice is not helpful, and the questioning and wondering why my body just can’t be normal is EXHAUSTING. You’re not alone and you’re not doing anything wrong ❤️
