Today, I corrected my mom in front of our family while she was ragging on my 12 year old cousin who got a piercing. She said, "You don't understand you don't have kids, but on the other hand you probably never will!" I have Polycystic ovary syndrome, she is right, I probably never will. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and confided in my mom, after being told I would have trouble having kids. Five minutes later, I hear the whole family laughing about it downstairs. FML
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, my mother accused me of getting another lip piercing done on the sly to spite her. She finally realised I have more than one and won't believe I've always had two. Thanks for noticing, mom. FML
Today, my mother-in-law said: "People who don't have kids are children of the devil." I'm infertile, she knows this. FML
Today, I told my mom I was thinking of having a baby. She told me it was a huge mistake because children cost a fortune, make you miserable, and if she'd had her chance again she would have gotten her tubes tied when she was 18 and saved herself the grief. Gee, thanks mom. FML
Today, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. FML
Today, my mom had to go off on my grandmother because I don’t have kids yet and she, "wants great grand babies before she dies." My grandmother was going to gift me a baby outfit for me to get another hint. I’m 25 and can’t conceive because of health issues. I may never have my own kids. She knows. FML
Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML
Today, my mom bitched me out for still being single at age 19, and still not having started a family. She considers this "immoral," yet showed nothing but praise for my sister, who's pregnant at 15 and doesn't know which of three guys is the father. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I have that too. It is not an infertility sentence. Birth control pills, when taken regularly and until you are ready to have children, can protect your ovaries from forming cysts. When you are ready, stop taking the pills, give your body about a year to adjust, and see what happens. Many women with this syndrome go on to be mothers.

I know so many people with PCOS have already responded, but I'd just like to say that though I do live with the knowledge that it is likely I will never have children, my cousin Linda gives me hope. She has PCOS but she also has 3 year old triplets that were conceived naturally. It's not a lost cause. Take the pill and stick with it until you're ready.

I'm also someone who suffers with PCOS and unfortunately, I became completely unresponsive to treatment and have had 2 surgeries done to try and alleviate the symptoms. The second surgery was a modern day hysterectomy that has left me unable to have children. It's easy to get put down by the disorder and hard to be positive. Try your best, tell mom to shove it up her ass, it is possible to have children if you have a milder form of the disorder. However PCOS CAN be genetic according to my doctor and women with it who give birth to girls run a good risk of passing the disorder on.

Why the hell is a 14 year old that concerned about their ability to get pregnant? According to my mom no one thinks they're gonna want kids when they're 14.......Well I guess I was right about never wanting them :) .. But seriously, why do you care now?

14 sucks... but I was 12 when I found out I had it. It's different for everyone. Don't be upset you found out early, be glad. It's going to make it easier to have kids since you're treating it now.

PCOS is extremely treatable especially if you catch it early (usually before 30) and as long as you follow treatment options (like diet, medication, and regular visits to your OBGYN) you probably will be able to have kids.

Actualy my wife has PCOS, her doctor had us go to a diabetic specialist (she's not diabetic) her perscriber her glucophage (not sure on spelling) and we now have two beautiful kids. The medicine was the only thing that would make everything normal and it was the only way for us to have children. May want to look into it.

Here take my ovaries I don't want kids! But then again on that show "I didn't know I was pregnant" a lot of women have PCOS and then Whoops I pooped a baby! So you can be on TV if you unknowingly manage to have one!
