Homie's PCOS blog~: Managed to try and sleep on my side without supporting my tummy well...
Managed to try and sleep on my side without supporting my tummy well enough. Big mistake! The moment I moved I felt like I was on the verge of a cyst rupturing. Considering the quack said the one he found (I feel two) is 4cm big, I was scared. Thankfully, after staying up until 3am motionless and…
I ruptured cysts by blowing my nose :/ How you considered ovarian drilling?
Oh my… that made me cross my legs, not gonna lie. I honestly don’t know much about ovarian drilling, I think I assumed it was a way to help get pregnant, but… I’ve not looked into it at all.
Hey, can I ask, when they rupture, is it something that’s hospital worthy? I keep reading different things, it seems to be common, yet all the advice I read is “hey, go to the hospital”. xD Just so I know.
Ovarian drilling isn’t bad- they go through your belly button and drill 4-20 holes in your ovaries to get rid of the cysts- it help eleviate other symptoms as well. It’s not a cure but it helps a lot and if you start and continue with a healthy lifestyle most symptoms won’t come back. If your like me- you wait untill it’s days after it ruptured to go to the hospital- they will do a vaginal ultrasound and all depending if there’s any fluid-which they need a full bladder to see if there is- but you won’t have a full bladder since they requested you to pee in a cup so they can check for pregnancy -_- It’s a huge mess. It’s rare to find someone who knows what they are doing with PCOS. Bottom line- if you can’t handle day to day activties and can not stand the pain go to the hospital. Remember to be firm about why you went there for so will get the treatment you want and need-most times I’ve been sent home with bed rest-heating pad and tylonol[I’m a horrible speller sorry]( which is bad for women with PCOS since we are prone to liver disease).

1 in 8 women get breast cancer- 1 in 10 have PCOS; those odds are not much better- PCOS Awareness.
My PCOS Story
To talk about my journey I need to first talk about my mom, the beautiful, talented and wonderful
Joyce A. Sweet
My mom was born February 9, 1957 and passed away on August 2, 2010. When my mom was growing up she was always on the heavier side and when she hit puberty she was bombarded by hair-EVERYWHERE- back then ladies shouldn’t shave passed the knee-my grandparents always gave her lip about it- but the fact was she NEEDED to shave. She felt ashamed to shave her face- she felt alone. Her mother, her sister, her friends didn’t need to do that-why did she?
My mom started running and swimming to lose the weight and tanning to hide the evidence of shaving, she weighed 115lbs from 17years old to 25years old and after four children she got back down to that weight-but then along came little old me-her fifth child-second daughter and she never got lower than 130lbs. My Parents met when my mom was 19-she told my dad “you don’t want to marry me because I shave my face” and he told her “so what-we’ll shave our faces together.” She never thought a man would still love her after he knew this horrible truth-but he did and even though they divorced and she passed away-my dad still loves her and they were still friends.
Now to me: Janae (Sweet) Havro
I am 21 and have been effected by PCOS since I was 11 years old. Middle School and High School were HORRIBLE- I was told I look like a man because I didn’t lie about having PCOS or needing to shave my face. Being ridiculed for something I was born with and something the medical community hardly knows anything about really effects you. You can not change the fact you have PCOS, you just deal with it. It makes me insecure to this day. I can not change the fact I have PCOS- there is no cure. I can treat my symptoms and live an active, healthy lifestyle.
My mom still felt ashamed to shave her face and felt my siblings were embarrassed by her for it,that wore off on me.My sister doesn’t have PCOS- she’s fit-tanned-no hair on her face-she’s normal and in that fact I envy her. Having PCOS made my mom and I very close…she was the only person I knew had this-it didn’t matter what the statistics said my mom was my only living proof I wasn’t alone.
I met my husband when I was 18- he’s the first person besides my mom I shared everything with and he loved me PCOS and all. Right before we married my mom had what we think was a massive stroke which left her in a comatose state until her passing-16 months….within those 16 months my symptoms of PCOS got more severe…more hair, horrible moods swings, my period just stopped, acne,gained 40lbs which is a struggle but I’m losing it, liver disease,pre diabetic my cortisol levels are through the roof… the list just goes on…
I’ve never been what my doctors say to be textbook PCOS- I had a normal period, I was fit…all I really had a problem with was the hair and the cysts on the ovaries. They didn’t even want to diagnose me even though the the blood test and ultra sound came back showing I do have PCOS. Soccer was my secret in not having all these problems-doesn’t mean I don’t have them being active with soccer made them dormant. We all may think we don’t have theses problems but we do they just haven’t became a problem yet.
PCOS sucks-end of story. I want to support other cysters out there and promote awareness. PCOS is scary. It took me a long time to realize I am not alone or to tell people yes I shave my face. I know it makes us feel less of a woman for it but I rather look good for myself than feel bad for it. My future daughters could have this-I know I need to eat a low gi diet-stick to a diabetic guidelines-lose the weight and keep it off- treat my symptoms- I know its hard to do it by yourself and feel the world staring at you and thinking they know I shave my face.I no longer want to live like that.
So please see how beautiful you really are and love yourself. Shame on anyone who gives you crud about your symptoms- You have a medical condition- you should not be ashamed about it- become your own advocate-spread awareness-you will help other women by doing so- they don’t call PCOS the Silent Killer for nothing you know
