I first read about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in You On A Diet and have been learning more about the condition as I meet more women living with it. There are many factors and medical conditions that can affect our appearance, weigh and fertility; Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of them.
