PCOS Awareness Week in the UK - 20 to 27 November 2010

Above is the link for the very first PCOS Awareness Week that is taking place in the UK from the 20th to the 27th November 2010.

This is very exciting as this a condition that affects so many women, and it is good to show support to each other, and educate each other. So often women are unaware that they have the condition until they go to see the doctor or start to try to conceive.

So get involved!

During PCOS Awareness Week, they are planning at least one activity every single day. These will be activities run by the PCOS Charity Verity but also by women with PCOS and businesses that support the work Verity does, (can you do something in your local area?)

The activities they have instore so far for PCOS Awareness Week include:

Evaluation of how the NHS is supporting women with PCOS
Shouting about PCOS at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park
A knit-your-own PCOS Snood for winter
A PCOS calendar
PCOS conference with sessions on emotion, excess hair, alopecia, fertility, weight loss, being slim with PCOS and all about your menstrual cycle

PCOS Awareness Week needs your support if it's to be successful now in the future. Get involved!
