Apprently, PCOS Awareness Month is 20th-27th November.
So, why did I see everywhere I looked, that it was last month? The is obviously some confusion about the actual date. If anyone knows when it really is, please let me know!

It makes me sad..
Firstly, I'm sorry for my lack of updates since my initial post. I've been so busy and have hardly been on my laptop. Sorry :(
Now, onto what makes me sad:
1. The fact the September was PCOS Awareness Month and hardly anyone, even fellow sufferers, didn't know it even exisisted.I'm sorry, but surely the point of an 'awareness month' is to make more people AWARE. I saw nothing in the press about it, at all. So, from now on, it is my mission to shout as loud as I can. For the condition to be understood, more people need to know about it. Right?
2. How many women feel they can't be open about the condition.Ok, I can understand not wanting to tell random strangers that you have to shave every inch of your body. But, honestly, telling your friends makes everything easier. My boyfriend and I make jokes about it too, he knows how far to push it. Come on ladies, you know the saying. If you don't laugh, you'll cry.
I've joined almost every group concerning PCOS on Facebook and even have that I suffer from it in my 'About Me'. Since doing so, I've made some wonderful friends who also have PCOS, thus making it easier for me, as I have people to talk to.
So, come on ladies. Opinions please..
