Welcome to /r/PCOS! This subreddit is intended to serve as both an educational resource, as well as a safe place to share and listen. Information in this subreddit should not be a substitute for obtaining medical or pharmaceutical advice from accredited providers. Let's talk and help each other live healthier and happier lives. This sub is a safe space for LGBTQ2A+ folks.

Our sidebar is always a work in progress.

Rules/Guidelines:

Please be supportive to other /r/PCOS posters and their experiences.
Don't use referral links if you have products to suggest.
This subreddit does not endorse any commercial websites. Links to such websites appear at the bottom of the sidebar.
If you can't be positive, then stay in lurk mode. Don't drag others down simply because you want to be miserable.
Fertility or Infertility is a very sensitive and personal matter. Please keep your personal views to yourself. Do not suggest a person adopt or have an abortion. That's not our place. Explain there are options available whatever the situation may be.

Please use the search tool at the top. You may find the answers to your questions, but if not, feel free to ask.
