Introduction to My PCOS Journey and Women's Health Blog

Hey there, my name is Amy, and I’m very excited to be starting my blog to share my journey with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) with you! This blog will be dedicated to raising awareness, providing tips, and creating a safe space for open conversations about women’s health, especially surrounding living with PCOS. Whether you are newly diagnosed, looking for help managing you’re the condition, or simply seeking more information on the topic, I really hope my blog can be a good source of support and understanding.

Though I must state that while I will aim to make my posts on every topic as informed and accurate as possible, I am not a healthcare professional and am in no way qualified to give you medical advice. I’m simply here to share my personal experiences navigating life with PCOS and share practical tips that have worked for me and might work for you too!

My main goal is to create a judgement-free community where women living with PCOS can feel more empowered and less alone in their struggles with the condition.  Whether you’re here to learn, connect, or find tips on managing things, I’m glad you’ve found my blog! Please feel free to leave comments and share your thoughts and experiences to help build a supportive community.

Thank you so much for reading, and please stay tuned for my next post where I go into depth explaining what PCOS is for those who are new to the topic.
