Hey loves, A bit more of a personal video today but one that I wanted to share with you and a topic that I want us all to be able to speak about openly. MY INSTAGRAM - @emilydianephilpott Much Love, Em x
wow - i just wanted to leave a quick message here to just say thank you so much for your comments guys, I genuinely can’t tell you how much it means and I am working my way through them all but I wanted to just say I appreciate you all so so much❤️
I have been diagnosed with PCOS since I was 18 and always worried about fertility so came off the pill early as I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant/it would take a long time to get pregnant, but instead I got pregnant within 2 months and am watching this video with my 3 week old baby girl on my chest! So I hope this gives anyone with PCOS a little bit of hope that they will be able to conceive naturally 😘😘
So sorry you’re going through this!! Just an FYI I have PCOS too, I got diagnosed when I was 15. I’ve had 5 periods in my whole life (none of which have been painful at all) and I have a 2 year old little boy and am currently pregnant again! Sometimes you can ovulate without a period 🤍xx
My sister had PCOS and struggled her whole life with period and then fell pregnant naturally and I now have a gorgeous nephew, so there is always hope with falling pregnant naturally!
If you haven’t got a hormone imbalance and the tests came back fine then it might not be PCOS. A lot of people confuse polysistic ovaries with polysistic ovary syndrome which is caused by increased male hormones. It affects your skin, hair loss and weight etc. Just because you have cysts on your ovaries does not mean you have the polysistic ovary syndrome. Many people do not understand that
I feel so relieved reading all the comments , I got diagnosed last year and I'm 17 now . I didn't have periods for 2 months and when I did they were very light . I do get very stressed , It's very terrifying knowing what can go wrong . I am fighting , trying to stay positive and just see the good in life . I've taken The pil ( cyprodiol ) for two months now , didn't see any side effects . But I want to just cure my pcos naturally and let my body do what it's supposed to . Lifestyle and diet can really help . Please do not stress too much , so many women are suffering from this some have it mild and some are suffering at a large scale , Let's spread more awareness and keep in touch with eachother . LOVE YOU ALL , LET'S KEEP FIGHTING .
Hey there, I've recently been diagnosed with PCOS, but I've never had acne throughout my life, my weight is normal, and I don't have much hair on my arms and legs. I had my first period around the age of 15, and now at 21, I've developed a strong desire to have a baby in the future. I finally mustered the courage to talk to my mom about it. However, I'm unsure if it's just PCOS or something more serious. Can someone explain me please? 😞
Hey um I just got an ultra sound done and my report says that both my ovaries are polycystic and I searched it up and all that came up was PCOS? but i have never missed out on my periods like never they are always regular and always on time. Neither am I overweight or ever experienced weight gain. Plus i dont have extra facial hair or anything. The only thing i do have is I recently started to develop acne but its starting to go away. Im so confused can anyone tell me what it is?
omg em just finished watching -- i love you so much <3 I know lots of girlies in my life that have PCOS and I think you doing this video will help so so many ppl out there if they're feeling lost or confused <3
You don’t know how much this means to me and I am sure to many other women who have PCOS. As common as it is, this is the first I have heard a TH-camr/influencer talk about it. Thank you so much for talking about your story. It is bittersweet knowing someone else has it, but it’s nice to know we are not alone. ❤️
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18 now 32, and I had the same problem in that I had various tests and everything was ok but I still had PCOS and that was that and they basically just told me that there’s nothing they can do etc etc until you want to start trying for a baby, which is the stage I am at now as havent been successful in conceiving so far and I am now being referred to a fertility clinic. It is something you can live with easily but can becoming emotionally and mentally very stressful when you are at the stage of wanting a baby. It’s so nice to see people aren’t alone and that it is so common. Thanks for the video x
EMILY You’re a true beauty inside and out! I have PCOS just like SOOO many other women and girls out there, and it’s so refreshing to hear you talk about your experience so candidly. I hope it was just as therapeutic for you to speak about it in a video as it was for me to watch it. Keep spreading your light💫 Wishing you health and happiness !!
I got diagnosed 10 years ago and just know it's overwhelming at first but do what works for you and your body and don't get discouraged because there is a lot of information out there with diets and medications and supplements and exercises ... just do your research and do what your body needs ...and self love is very important on this journey because I hated myself for my body doing this to me but again love yourself because it's going to get hard ❤️love and positivity your way
So glad you made this video, I wad told I had polycystic ovaries a few years ago and from what they told me i believe there is a difference between polycystic ovaries and the syndrome. But I agree with you that it can be nerve-wracking as there is no way to 100% know about how it will affect your fertility until you start trying for a child. Thank you for making a video on this cause I know that the stats say that around 1 in 4 women have polycystic ovaries even though I feel like it is rarelt talked upon. Even though its different for everyone, I feel that you have helped teach me more about it and also reassured me about my future and what I may need to do. Thanks xx
Currently watching this in-between yours and G live baking video. My best friend has PCOS and I have watched her go through it, she also has Endometriosis. I am glad you are using your platform to help people it is more common than people think. Sending love ❤🥰
You’ve inspired me to talk about my health struggles. We have to really fend for ourselves unfortunately and keep on it with these doctors. Thank you for being an example of advocating for yourself bc it is our health and we should be informed and shouldn’t have to suffer. We have the right to keep asking our doctors for help and more information. It sounds like the male doc was just uncomfortable talking about women’s health and that’s alarming bc he’s a doctor, women make up a huge part of the population that he’s supposed to be helping, and our bodies and the things they do are nothing to beacting weird and dancing around the subject about. They should be matter of fact, this is your life. Thank you for your vulnerability and helping so many others. I hope things get better for you and you keep fighting to figure this out. Women’s health is seriously under studied and not talked about enough and I’m so thankful for this part of social media where we can help each other out so we can go to the doctors and not be gaslit or ignored. It’s so validating to hear we’re not just imagining or making a big deal out of nothing when you hear others are going through it too. I can’t say thank you enough.
Thank you for speaking so openly about this! I don't know if you do already but if you get Natural Cycles you may be able to gather more in-depth info about your ovulation as it's able to tell you if and when you've ovulated based on your temp, if you don't want to physically take your temp every morning you can use it alongside Tempdrop which you wear at night. I've been using it since June after 10 years on the pill to learn more about my body ahead of us wanting kids in a few years as I've always had issues with my periods and the drs don't seem interested in investigating.

Drinking coffee with dairy and sugar is the triple threat to your PCOS
