This is so important, boys should know and support their girls the most in every phase of time.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Truly, it's comforting 😭💗

Jessica, so glad to see you're proactive in helping others out. I hope this journey brings you the answers you're seeking to find.

I just stumbled upon your channel and I love your openness about PCOS! I was diagnosed with PCOS over 6 years ago and I'm still finding my way with curing it naturally. I went off the pill about 1,5 years ago and my body kind of "reset" itself and my periods are quite regular now which is kind of amazing with thinking the doctors always recommended to stay on the pill! I love your channel and all the tips you have regarding PCOS, skincare and everything that comes with it, thank you for sharing your story of PCOS, means a lot to all us ladies struggling with PCOS!

I'm so glad I stumbled across this video ☺. I new at 14 that something was wrong when my periods stopped gradually and all the horrible symptoms started 😕. It took me another 6 years to get a diagnosis at age 20. I was told to lose weight and try to forget about it!....I switched doctors and was given dianette to take until I wanted to have children. I spent 10 years im the pill and am now 33 with no change in severity of the symptoms. It's very distressing to deal with but somehow hearing your story has brought some solice and hope ☺.

Omg homegirl, your channel could not have come at a better time for me. Your story sounds SOOOO MUCH like mine! Like 85% of it is all the same crap I experience, with the exception of not having a fantastic diet and exercise regime. It is the worlds most frustrating thing to experiment with different medications, especially if they were going to suggest psychiatric meds to combat the hormone imbalance. I have had some of the worst moods and pains and feelings being on meds like metformin and zoloft. They made me so sick all the time, just like you. But ever since getting off of all my meds and taking a more natural route, in just a month, I can feel a MAJOR difference already. Granted, I'm new to it and still have a long way to go, but I can already tell this could be a solution that will work for me. Much love! You've definitely earned another subscriber. :)

Thank you so much for sharing your story and a as trainer learned a lot from ya. I have always discourage women training for hours and hours in the gym as sometimes it complicate their weight loss or mess up hormones which are way important in losing fat. You're are my hero Jessica and hope all get sorted with you for good. Keeping going girl and I pray somewhere down the road come into your healing place. Stay blessed.

I love your channel and videos ! It is really inspiring and it really helps me feel better about my conditions ! Cant wait to wacth more from you and to follow your path ! ps : you look amazing !

Hey ladies !! I now have an Instagram account at jessica_ddiana !!

Thank you for sharing your story!

Thanks for sharing your PCOS story! I just got the courage to share mine on here as well...eeek! Btw..your eyelashes are amazing! :)

because of my pcos I gained 60 pounds in a year but this was right before being diagnosed so I always thought it was just my depression. but yes I'm not on the pill. I currently have nexplanon and I'm unsure if its the same as the pill when it comes to pcos. I got nexplanon a week ago and got diagnosed with pcos officially earlier today. ive always assumed I had it considering all the matching symptoms. I'm currently trying to find the proper meal plan for me to start losing the weight and also natural ways to reverse this to the best of my abilities. I felt so alone and lost for years not understanding my body but I'm so thankful for youtubers like you who are posting about it and making it more visible.

Love to hear how your journey goes.

I’m looking forward to watching your journey! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19 and I had self diagnosed before going to the doctor and asking for the blood tests. I have found that a low carb diet works best for weight loss!

I was diagnosed with PCOS back in June. I haven't had a period since January and I've put on 30 pounds. I'm feeling lost and discouraged. I can't be on the pill because I have a blood clotting trait. I'm eating healthier but my weight gain has made me feel uncomfortable. I'm glad I found this channel though. She gets it and is real. Thank you so much for these videos.

Hiya Jessica. thanks again for your reply. your welcome. have a nice christmas.

Hey irl I absolutely LOVE you & your videos! I have pcos & you're so helpful . I'm legit on my way to Whole Foods to get the supplements from your supplement video rn 😍💕 I'm ready to get serious about having ha baby so thank you so much for going so in Seth and making such good summaries Of the basics! My story is almost an exact copy this video including the clueless doctors 😒 anyway I love your videos and I cannot wait to see more 💕 Thank you!

I had an unofficial diagnosis today, and this helped ❤️

Thank you sooo much you have really shown me light! Ive been dealing with pcos most of my life been diagnosed since the age of 14 and now i am 26! Have had infertility issues for 6+ yrs i have managed to deal with some of the symptoms and have my periods back on a regular for the past 3yrs however no luck with ovulation which results in no pregnancy 😓 but i really appreciate how your giving back to the society people me and you are suffering and need some light! Thank you your awsome! X

Hello! Just wanted to say thanks for making these videos. They've been really helpful. I live in the UK and had a PCOS diagnosis for about 9 years. Its really refreshing to be able to try something non-medical. There has only ever been limited options presented to me and kind of a consensus that ut should just get used to the symptoms...I'm going to try some of the supplements and products you've mentioned if I can get my hands on them. Keep making these videos!! :-)

I don’t have PCOS but I think it’s wonderful that people are sharing their experiences with PCOS and other diagnoses. Subscribed ❤️

I gained 45 lbs in less than a year with my PCOS! I can totally relate to your story. Ive always worked out and eaten well, especially compared to my friends. When I was diagnosed the doctor wrote out how I should eat and all I could was cry because it was stuff I already was doing.

would be nice to hear about haircare. thanks simone

Thank You for sharing your story.:)

I have a suspicion that I have PCOS but I’m thin and seem to have regular periods. At the same time I have persistent hormonal acne. I feel like I’m losing hair too... it’s nice to find someone with a similar story who found out some answers. Thank you for this.

Your story is my story! Went through almost identical journey as you. I believe I have suffered from PCOS since college. I am now almost 40...just diagnosed. So it's been a good 20 years without diagnosis.

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor also told me that if I didn't go on the pill it would build up and I would get cancer. It actually has been stressing me out, like I'm being scared into taking it. Thank you for telling your story!

Hi! I love your videos! You have so much great information. I was wondering what do you use daily on your face it always looks so nice and hydrated!!!!

thank you

I went from doctor to doctor for about two years, after two years i had this doctor say to me you have pcos, how is it that other doctors couldnt see this on the echo its so clear that you have pcos! I was relieved that i finally got a diagnosis so now i am here trying to figure my life out

I was also told by a doctor that if I did not go on the pill I would probably get uterine cancer. It’s been such a journey. Thank you for your videos. I just finished watching your supplement video. Got my list made and heading to the store to try a few. Hope this helps :) cheers

Thank you God bless you

It took me 11 months to get my period back after stopping the pill and being diagnosed with PCOS. I had the same experience with the doctors, so I did some research ofmy own and bought the following: spearmint tea (2 a day), flaxseed (1 tea spoon a day) and choline & inositol (2 pills a day). I can't guarantee that they work for everyone but they worked for me. Good luck! x

WOW you're so inspiring!!!❤💜❤❤💜💜 I have pcos as well sadly at 21 & am terrifed to go on birth control pill or patch super scary felt very emotional this week😩😩😩 hate ,that were kinda forced to do homorone supplements Thankyouu sooooo much for sharing your story!!!!! You are beautiful!!! I totally get Your struggle with gaining weight & acne it's AWFUL and people really misunderstand us with the pcos journey!!!!! It's crazy how doctors make us feel dumb.

I just got diagnosed yesterday at my local hospital and when I was given the news I collapsed onto my boyfriend and cried my eyes out because I was not expecting to be told that. On October 21st which was when my period stopped since it was irregular that month, I started getting terrible abdominal pains and I thought it was my appendix so I chose to sleep it off and when I woke up the pain wasn't as bad as the night before so I went on with my day until the pain came back on the 26th so I went to the local clinic since my doctor was on vacation and he told me that it was a viral gastroenteritis and to eat rice, wheat bread, steamed veggies for 2 days and if the pain remains then go back to him or go to the hospital. So I did as he was told except go back to him or the hospital since I was afraid and my doctor returned early for vacation on the 31st so I went to go see her and she felt my stomach and had me take a urine sample and she said "It could be an early symptom for appendicitis or a cyst so you should go to the hospital asap" again I didn't go and chose to take my baby sister trick or treating and that night my stomach hurt and I ended up finally going to the hospital yesterday and they had me take another urine sample, blood test and finally a cat scan which was how they saw the cysts in my ovaries including a large one on my right side which explains why I've been getting pain in that area so now I have to see my primary doctor and a gynecologist. I'm so nervous and my anxiety is getting the best of me and I wanted to thank you for making this video and I'm so sorry that the doctor chose to try and fix you with birth control and I'm glad you sued her ass. I just feel like this is a bad dream and that I don't have PCOS since I've always wanted to be a mother someday and give my folks grandchildren which I hope can happen!! Here are my symptoms 1. pain on my right side 2. sleep apnea and being drowsy no matter how much I sleep 3. unwanted hair growth on face and body 4. bloating on my waist area and stomach 5. irregular period 6. Acne 7. Depression mostly mood swings

Sounds similar to my story. You definitely should try Inositol. It helped me to get my period back. I'm also still on my way of getting rid of my PCOS symptoms in a natural way without taking artifical hormones again. But a lot of things improved already drastically. Wish you all the best! Love from Tokyo ♡

Nice video! Thanks!!

I was also prescribed metformin + inositol last summer after 2 years of going off the pill and having extremely irregular cycles. Stopped taking it because it made me break out so much! After going to an endocrinologist to check my hormones a few months ago, he went furious that another doctor prescribed me metformin beause it's meant to be for people with diabetes (meaning insulin resistance/no insulin AND high blood sugar) or for people with PCOS who are obese. After many many years of going to different doctors and experimenting with different pills, I believe that you really have to make a research on your own before taking any medication doctors give you

I’m 19 years old diagnosed with PCOS. I’m pretty heavy, tried the birth control and it wrecked my emotional state. Made me super depressed. I’m experiencing cystic acne on my back, chest & discoloration on my inner thighs & more towards my private area. I’m very discouraged right now. I’m too insecure to be vulnerable with a man or do anything with him because I’m embarrassed of my body. I’m depressed & am filled with anxiety. I’m just so discouraged rn and feel like it’ll never go away 🥺

So relatable

I suffer with PCOS, was diagnosed while i was on the pill about 2 years ago I came off the pill a year ago, becus the pill can actually cause these problems. It took me 8 months to get my period back.

This is the 3rd video on your channel I am watching, love the way you explain things. I do have a comment regarding the doc that said you would die if you didnt get on the pill min 7:19, He did not express it correctly and has nothing to do with the pill nor metformin but it does have to do with irregular bleeding. This, unfortunately, happened to me, it is called endometrial hyperplasia and it was BAD, luckily it never became cancerous but it could have if left untreated, had to have a D&C to get better.

I was diagnosed about a few weeks ago at age 26 by a fertility dr. She prescribed BC but I didn’t even start it without giving the natural way a try first. I’m taking: -balance by Alani nu (got my period in 3 weeks taking it) -vitamin D3 -prenatal -Maca capsules. Does anybody else reccomend anything else?

Side effect of metformin for some is nausea and stomach problems, hyperglycemia is elevated sugar, I think you meant hypoglycemia, but even then being nauseous wasnt indicative of hypoglycemia, I don’t think you needed metformin but could watch your diet

If the endometrial tissue of the uterus keeps building up and thickening it causes endometrial hyperplasia, which WILL cause uterine cancer

I was told that I have PCOS 2 weeks ago and already, everything just feels difficult. I haven't had a period in almost a year (this is the second time), I've gained so much weight that I haven't been able to lose no matter how hard I try, and the worst is how much I'm having to change my diet seemingly overnight, even if I do go slow. I'm a really picky eater and so this just destroyed me. I'm trying to stay hopeful because I know it's not the end of the world, but it's frustrating (sorry I really needed to vent)

I'm like a year late to this video, but I'm trying to figure out if I have PCOS... I have a belly, ton of acne scars and acne that flares up more so around my periods... Right now i've missed my period and my acne has acted up again... I've been depressed for around 2/3 years... Self-diagnosed that is, but I'm only 17 (18 in september) so while my parents are those that underestimate how common depression is, I can't go anywhere to get a mental checkup. Sigh

I did bio-identical progesterone replacement therapy (through a homeopathic doctor) and it gave me my period back! (I have PCOS)

I'm not sure whether I have pcos or not I came off the pill around 9 months ago and my periods were back to normal after a second miscarriage. However the last 3-4 months I've noticed theyve become more irregular taking around 8 weeks for my period to come . Now I'm having light bleeding / brown discharge which is worrying after having two missed periods . I got checked by the dr who said my cervix looks healthy I'm due a scan and smear test soon as jm a tad worried I have noticed that I've been getting a few black hairs under my chin for around a year now I noticed one a while ago and plucked but have noticed it more, and also on my tummy. . Feeling tired seems to be a big thing for me aswell I can have hours of sleep and still be exhausted Around a year ago after my second miscarriage the drs did notice a cyst on one of my ovaries

I'm on a marathon of your videos so I apologize in advance for all the comments coming your way haha! I live in vancouver now, but before covid i was in shanghai and that's where i was diagnosed at 25 and the doctor told me i was for sure going to die of cervical cancer if i didnt get on the pill. and i just put it on chinese hocus pocus nonsens but the fact that somone also told you that in north amerca im pressuming is mind blowing. so im not gonna die of cervical cancer? good to know,

Hey, thank you so much for sharing! I also have PCOS and I'm making a video to raise awareness for the condition. Is it cool if I used a little clip from your video? I'm including lots of other cysters, just to show the magnitude of this condition.

hey! great video! i have a question or two hopefully someone or you can answer. i just turned 14 last month and have had my period since i was about 11. i’ve always been irregular but i haven’t had my period in at least three to four maybe even five months. i’ve been researching and when i googled it came up with pcos, i don’t have any of the symptoms really besides the occasional acne/oily skin, i don’t know if i have abnormal body hair and of course irregular periods. is it just an irregular period, or could i have pcos or something else? my mom isn’t here with us and i don’t feel comfortable talking to my dad. anyone please help! ❤️

I am 14 and have very irregular periods - they come very far apart or like a week apart and can last between 2-20 days. I started my period just over 1 year ago and they have never been regular. My blood in the past few months has always been brown and I am overweight. Should I see my doctor? HELP!!

أنا كانت دورتي عادية تأتيني كل شهر لعدة سنوات فجأة بدأت تتأخر ثم انقطعت عني تماما لمدة عامين و عند ذهابي للطبيب قال لي أنت عقيم و عندك عيب خلقي لم تأتيك الدورة و لو لمرة في حياتك عندما قلت له أتتني الدورة بانتظام لعدة سنوات صرخ في وجهي و قال لي أنت كاذبة لماذا تزوجتي و أنت لم تأتيك الدورة و قال لي إن أخبرت زوجك الحقيقة سوف يطلقك اندهشت من كلامه و لم أناقشه فقط خرجت و بعد كلامه دخلت في اكتئاب حاد و بعدها قررت أن أعمل ما بوسعي لاسترجاع دورتي الشهرية أولا تأكدت من مرضي بتكيس المبايض بدأت بأخذ الأدوية لكن لم تنفعني لذا قررت أن أعالج نفسي طبيعيا ابتعدت عن القلق مارست الرياضة اتبعت ريجيم الكيتو فرجعت دورتي الشهرية و بالتدريج أصبحت منتظمة الحمد لله أنصح كل واحدة أن لا تفقد الأمل و أن لا تسمح لكلام الطبيب أن يؤثر فيها بل عليها أن تكافح هذا المرض و صدقوني النتائج تظهر بسرعة بعد اتباع الحمية المناسبة . Please some one translate my experience

My doctor suspects I have PCOS, but if I do, I don't realy have a reason to go on the pill. I don't have anything to fix, yeah I have facial hair and my period cycles are sometimes a little bit too long and sure the pill will tighten up my cycle but I don't want to have periods more often, fuck that, I appreciate them when they're slightly longer than normal. Because who wants to deal with blood? And plus I'm afraid the birth control will make me gain and give me acne and change my body in a way that I won't like.

Hi there! I have just subscribed. I am 41 and have always had irregular periods. I never worried about it. Untill i really wanted to have children. And then i heard about insulin resistance and pcos. I had both and had to take metformin. It helped me lose a lot of weight. But i still can't have children and time is ticking away. So now i've heard about serrapeptase and that it can help with pcos. I want to try it. Does anyone here have experience with serrapeptase? Thanks.

i was 16 when i got diagnosed and im nearly 18 now but i still dont know how to feel about my body and im so scared that i may never have children

Omg my doctor literally told me the same thing: “you gonna die if you don’t get on the pill”.....🤦🏻‍♀️ P.S. I stopped the pill couple of weeks ago....🙅🏻‍♀️

Hello .i'm 17 and i don't have any pcos symptoms . My weight is normal 60 kg (170cm) my periods are regular and i don't have unwanted hair (i'm Arabic so yes i'm hairy but it's not like a beird) but my mother have pcos ( i learned that pcos is genetic ) my sister is 25 she doesn't have it .....my mother had me naturally without any pill not like my sister.. who you think me or my sister have the heighter chance of getting pcos ? ... and is there a specific age for pcos?.. and how can i prevent it ?

Hi guys really am going mad ihve PCOS almost 2yrs bck yet idid nt gt my period straight God unless itake duphaston tablets and glucophage tablet am 27yrs old 😀😁😂😭😭😭 ineed ur help guys

hi. jessica. my wife also suffering from pcos. this problem ruined my marriage due to her negative behaviour.. she is not loyal with me. what to do? i hve tried a lot to make her support but she respond my support even in a negative approach and she demands me to get divorce. what should i do?

Try pregnitude. I take it even tho I’m not trying to conceive.

Not for me with metformin for me.... and I still on pill and no supplements....

May I ask which pill they put you on?

Well,it is true that if you don't get your period for a long time,the endometrium just keeps on thickening and you may get cancer Considering the fact that you didn't get your periods for like 2 years,you had to get rid of the thickened endometrium by immediately taking hormonal pills for 3-4 months and after you got away from the risk of cancer, you can start healthy medicines like Ayurveda,homeopathy and all

did you got your period naturly after cutting pill ?

It’s pretty sad that America keeps pushing process foods transfat is bad and dairy is bad for women with pcos it has so many bad hormones. Get off sugar and dairy and refined carbs such as bread etc.... you’ll notice a big difference. A doctor prescribed Katconazole for my dandruff and I noticed my hair getting healthy and taking away all that bad yeast. I was on metformin but I got off of it. It started to mess with my heart and I had dry mouth all the time it wasn’t good for me try to eat more plant based foods and legumes

Your story is literally the same as mine.

The doc was right sort of, if you never have a period and continue to live your life doing what your doing, you are at more increased risk for female problems including cancer

One thing I learned in life stop going to male doctors!!

How was your first period was it long painful or heavy ?

Do you think that pcos is actually produced because of birth control pills? You mentioned you had acne but no other symptoms until you were on the pill... the acne itself could have been because of some intestinal flora problem...? Not trying to diagnose but I feel like the pill was what made everrrrrything worse for me.

I have a feeling I have pcos 🥺

7:21 typical doctor lmao
