She went further to encourage every woman battling with the disorder. She continued:
“I’m writing this to every woman out there-with PCOS to tell you that you are not alone. Even if it’s your husband that is mocking you or strangers online. You will overcome.
“I carried my baby and you will carry your baby. That facial hair or stubborn fat does not make you any less. You are beautiful and you are enough.”
