Hi everyone!
This is my first day on Atkin's, and actually, I just recently started having problems in the reproductive department. Now, I haven't been officially diagnosed with PCOS, but I'm wondering if it could be possible.
My whole life, I had VERY normal periods. They were right on time almost like clockwork. This past month, I had a sudden and very heavy period lasting almost 3 weeks. I also have gained quite a bit of weight over the past two years, but my diet was bad, and my job went from walking around all the time, to stationary, so that might have been a cause for that. My acne also got pretty bad over the past year or so and I hardly ever had a problem with it when I was younger.
I'm going to be turning 27 soon, and it seems that the onset of this odd period and all this weight gain is pretty sudden. Almost too sudden to be something like PCOS, but I don't know, because I was adopted and don't have a family history to look back on.
Could it be possible that the recent weight gain, and the sudden, long period is PCOS? I really hope it's not, but at least I know I wouldn't be alone...
