Demystifying PCOD and PCOS: Spotting the Variances
PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disease) and PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) are related conditions, but they have some differences:
Definition:

PCOS – Its Diagnosis And Treatment | KIMSHEALTH Kollam
Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS is an increasingly common problem in females and has to do with hormones that have gone out of balance. Most females with PCOS develop small cysts in their ovaries which may not necessarily be harmful, but they sure do lead to hormonal imbalances. Read more.

It is still so baffling how much of my life I struggled with, even and especially the little things, are explained by PCOS.
Super hairy? PCOS
Super sweaty like wayyy more than anyone you know? PCOS
Things that my trans friends only first experienced on T that I have known my whole life? PCOS babey
I'm a college student and I only JUST got diagnosed!! And it still hasn't fully sunk in that I am like this because of PCOS! I'm still in the mindset of being biologically cis and being somehow messed up because my whole life I've been so weird and off and "wrong" when I shouldn't be!! Like oh wow they finally figured it out but now I have so many years of pent up angst about my body that now I have to work through accepting it all over again in a new light because the old light I did partially accept it in was wrong, actually

lol do u ever stop and think about how women weren’t required to be included in clinical research until 1993 so a lot of us have underlying health issues that we’ll never be diagnosed with or have sufficient treatment for

In honor of my medical and mental health journey, I will be listing “health stats”.
Mental Health Diagnosis: ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, gender dysphoria, and religious trauma(not in my diagnosis file but my therapist said I have it).
Physical Health Diagnosis: PCOS, vaginismus.
Upcoming: Doctors appointment to see if I have asthma.
I want to make it VERY CLEAR that this isn’t supposed to be a post to romanticize my conditions. This is to celebrate getting diagnosed because, with a diagnosis, doctors tend to take things a bit more seriously.
I’m celebrating the fact that I can get help and learn to live with these conditions and not have them negatively impact my quality of life.

Are there any things you probably have but specifically don’t want to get checked by a doctor?
Probably Autism and BPD. I used to want them diagnosed, and I kinda still do, in part for validation (i know, that's wrong), and in part because I'm applying for SSI and such. But the ableism is... probably worse than it's worth. Although, at some point, I may not be able to avoid a BPD diagnosis, since multiple professionals have put it on their possibilities list before. I'd be surprised if I got diagnosed with Autism, since it's all been labeled Anxiety for so long.
There's also CAH, an intersex variation, which I would like diagnosed for my own health (especially since it's possible I have CAH X syndrome, basically CAH and hEDS together)... I may not be able to avoid that either, but I really don't want to deal with any more intersexism than I already have with a PCOS diagnosis. Hopefully if I have it, whatever doctor diagnoses me isn't an asshole.

its like so fucked to me that PCOS is almost always diagnosed in middle aged women bc of fertility issues unless the person in question has a very obvious and severe case or lobbies their doctor at length about it. this would not be so upsetting to me if PCOS didn't massively increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes in a way that is largely preventable! or if PCOS didn't make it damn near impossible to lose weight, meaning many people have their symptoms dismissed be it for other health problems or PCOS symptoms themselves over something they have next to no control over.

My period is over a week late now and it would be an actual, biblical miracle for me to be pregnant. I was TRYING to find out when I need to actually bring this up to medical attention and most sources are like "period late, take pregnancy test!"
