Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder that can make it difficult for women to get pregnant. Contrary to its name, having PCOS doesn't mean your ovaries have cysts, but rather that your ovaries have a high number of follicles containing eggs that are often unable to mature.
Symptoms of the condition include irregular or absent periods, high testosterone, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and acne.
PCOS definitely has it's challenges, but, having it does not mean you'll never have children or that your eggs cannot produce a healthy, beautiful baby. Plus, if you have it, you're totally not alone. About 7% of women have PCOS.
