I always knew it wasn’t normal to not get a period but my doctors said bc I was a dancer that my high activity levels were the reason for not getting one consistently so I just kept ignoring it for 15 years. If you are like me sometimes it’s easier to ignore a problem then face it head on. I never wanted to find out that something could be “wrong” with me so ignoring was always the best option and I had dance to focus on so heath could always wait…up until about 2 years ago. My body started screaming at me and I finally had to listen. I had ignored her for so long that in the span of 1 year I put on 75lbs and totally lost my period. Alright body, I’m listening now…so I finally decided to face my problems head on and was diagnosed with PCOS. I started treating it this year and for the first time in YEARS I’ve consistently had a period 3 months in a row. 🥲 So this is my little selfie to celebrate. I’m not used to having a normal cycle so I’ve been figuring out my body again recently and coming back to my “normal” and I think I’m writing this post to just inform anyone who feels like something is wrong but it too scared to go get it checked out to make that appointment and do the scary thing. I promise you will feel so much better on the other side 💗 #pcos
