About My PCOS Diary

Hi, I’m a Korean woman in my 30s living in South Korea. You can call me J.

I’ve been dealing with PCOS-related symptoms since adolescence, and this blog is where I document that long-term journey — not only the diagnosis itself, but also the symptoms, treatments, supplements, questions, and setbacks that have shaped my daily life over time.

This site began as a personal record, but it has gradually become a space where I try to make sense of PCOS through both lived experience and careful reading of research and publicly available medical information.

What this blog is about

My PCOS Diary is a personal blog about living with PCOS and managing an ongoing condition over time.

Here, I write about the symptoms I’ve experienced, how they changed over the years, how they affected my daily life and relationships, and what kinds of treatments I have tried. That includes supplements, medications, injections, hospital visits, and the practical reality of trying to understand and manage a chronic condition that is still ongoing.

I also write about PCOS-related information that I personally found important or difficult to understand, especially around diagnosis, treatment options, supplements, and symptom management.

What this blog does not do

I’m not a doctor, and this blog does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations for any individual.

Nothing on this site should be taken as a substitute for professional medical care. What worked for me may not work the same way for someone else. PCOS can look very different from person to person, and decisions about supplements, medications, or treatment should always be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.

I also do not claim that any supplement, medication, or treatment will cure PCOS or work the same way for everyone.

What readers may find here

If you also live with PCOS, I hope you find two things here.

First, recognition — the feeling that someone else understands how complicated, frustrating, and personal this condition can be.

Second, practical insight — including personal treatment experiences, questions to consider, symptom patterns, supplement notes, and research-based information that may help you better understand PCOS and your own experience with it.

Some readers may come here for information. Others may come here for a sense of connection. My hope is that this space can offer both.

Why I keep writing

PCOS is not just a diagnosis on paper. It is something lived, managed, questioned, and carried over time.

I am still in that process myself. This is not a story from the finish line. It is a record of learning, tracking, trying, adjusting, and continuing.

I created this blog for people who want both lived experience and carefully explained information — especially those who feel confused, isolated, or overwhelmed by PCOS.

If you are on a similar journey, I hope this space helps you feel a little less alone.
