My PCOS Journey — A Decade of Healing, Relapse & Rising Again
I was diagnosed with PCOS at 17.
No one prepares you for how long healing can take... or how often you’ll have to start over. 🧡
With so little education about PCOS, I've hit every bump on this road.
So here goes:
📍 2013 – 1 year post-diagnosis, 48kg. I was thin, but far from healthy. My body was surviving on birth control, ignorantly believing that was "treatment."
📍 2018 – 5 years later, I came off birth control. The withdrawal was brutal. Every symptom I thought was "cured" came back with a vengeance.
📍 2019 – I spiraled. The weight gain, hormonal chaos, inflammation, acne, and anxiety were overwhelming. By our wedding, I was 74kg — and I barely recognized myself.
📍 May 2025 – I’m 59kg. Stronger. Softer. More grounded. I’m learning to work with my body instead of punishing it. Healing again — gently, intentionally, one day at a time.
Now, I’m just 10 weeks away from turning 30.
I’ve struggled a lot, but I’ve learned even more.
This time, I’m not chasing quick fixes. I’m choosing long-term restoration. 🌿
And for the first time, I’m openly sharing the why behind this journey. Yes, my 30s are approaching, but even more deeply — my heart is being prepared for motherhood.
This is about becoming a healthy vessel — mind, body, and spirit — for the family we are building.
Because healing isn’t just about me anymore. It’s about us. And our future. ✨
This isn’t a transformation story.
It’s a testimony.
And I’m not done yet. 💫
