Hey Ladies, I'm 21 years old, and I was wondering if anyone on here had polycystic ovarian syndrome? I was diagnosed with it when I was 17, but I've struggled with it my entire life. Add me, Cysters!

    "Cyster" (sister, obv.) is a pretty common term used among PCOS women.

    I was diagnosed 5 years ago in June at 15 years old and have been battling it ever since! I have gotten some of the symptoms under control (well, one huge one, anyway) after losing quite a bit of weight. Now if I could find the right eating habits to keep it going!

    I'm always here to support others who have this condition as well!

    I feel totally new to this. I was diagnosed in October of last year after all the symptoms plus the delightful weight gain.
    I'm 21 as well!
