I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome when I was approximatly 13. The struggles with the condition...the facial hair, the wacked-out hormones, the abnormal periods, the sleep problems, the weight issues...have plagued me since my diagnosis. The worst, however, was last year when I became pregnant unexpectedly (which was a total shock because I didn't think I was able to become pregnant!) and lost the baby 12 weeks later, being told by the doctor that miscarriages are "normal" for women with this condition. The failure that I felt as a woman and a person was overwhelming.

For those who have it, how do you manage your PCOS? How do you cope?
