I have a  PCOS (polycstic ovary syndrome), most women who has this syndrome will be having a difficulty in getting pregnant. But I’m so eager to get pregnant after the wedding. I was diagnosed PCOS year 2005, I was under medication year 2008, there was no really cure for this syndrome , medicines just trying to help my uterus to be healthy and to minimize the cysts.

Several symptoms pf PCOS;

* Irregular periods, including bleeding between periods
* Absent periods (Amenorrhea)
* Very light periods (Hypomenorrhea)
* Painful periods (Dysmenorrhea)
* Very heavy periods (Menorrhagia)
* Irregular, or absent, ovulation (Anovulatory cycle)
* Enlarged uterus
* Enlarged ovaries
* Ovarian cysts
* Enlarged clitoris (though rare, it is a sign of PCOS)
* Infertility
* Hormonal imbalances of estrogen, progesterone, androgen, and testosterone
* Particularly high levels of testosterone and androgen
* Mood swings
* Feelings of anger and aggression
* Anxious depression
* Anxiety
* Fatigue
* Decreased breast size (I never personally experienced this because my system had too much estrogen, and not enough progesterone to keep it in check)
* Obesity (particularly around the stomach – also known as the PCOS tummy that can make you appear pregnant even when the rest of your body is slender)
* Difficulty losing weight
* Insulin resistance
* Hypoglycemia
* High blood pressure
* High cholesterol
* Excess hair growth on the face, breasts, stomach, thighs, arms, etc. (Hirsutism)
* Acne (often manifests itself as large, cystic pimples on the neck, chin, and jawline)
* Skin tags
* Dark, velvety patches of skin (Acanthosis nigricans)

For me the symptoms that I have lang is irregular menstruation ever since, acne problem in teenage days and hard losing weight.
