I think my body was telling me.
TheWe Live in Timestarwants kids and shes taken proactive steps to prepare for motherhood, including freezing her eggs.
Id just had this sudden feeling that I should go and get everything checked, the now-28-year-old said.
Like, Id had a few weird dreams; I think my body was telling me.
She made an appointment with Aliabadi, and the doctor asked if shed ever gotten an egg count.
For Pugh, it was a big surprise.
I was like, No.
What do you mean?
Im so young, why do I need an egg count?
Both the results and Pughs medical history pointed to her diagnosis.
PCOS affects the ovaries and can cause a range of symptoms,per Johns Hopkins Medicine.
For Pugh, it was acne, excess hair growth, irregular periods, and weight gain.
Like, I didnt think that constant weight fluctuation would also be a part of it.
And Im someone that has never been the same size in my entire life.
Ive always gone up and down and up and down.
PCOS and fertility problemshadnt seemed like concerns.
It was just so bizarre because my family are baby-making machines, she said.
My mum had babies into her 40s, my gran … had so many kids as well.
Pugh had to come to terms with her diagnosis quickly, as Aliabadi recommended that she freeze her eggs.
