Never suspected I had PCOS

I posted here the other day that I got an MRI and was shocked to find out I have PCOS. My ob/gyn ordered an MRI because I reported heavy flow and pelvic pain, nothing else. I started looking into it and I always wondered why I suddenly started shedding hair like crazy, have bad acne especially on my cheeks, or hair growth on my chin and above my upper lip. I always thought it was a normal hormone imbalance and went on with my life. I have PMDD as well so I was attributing those problems with my PMDD but yay.... not really.... another endo disorder 😵‍💫

I grew up in an abusive household and have been under constant stress even outside of it and I'm wondering if repeated childhood abuse can contribute to the development of PCOS. I know being under constant stress makes PCOS develop but has anyone else come from a rough home life and developed PCOS?
