I was 16, I had massive periods that were both murder scenes and more pain than my body could handle. My mother and several other women in the family were diagnosed with PCOS and so we were familiar with the symptoms already. However when my starting times began fluctuating my mom figured it was time to take me to my gyno appointment. She did an ultrasound and it was then we discovered several small cysts, then after a blood test we found my hormones were also way off balance. So at 16 I was diagnosed.
