'It's Been A Roller Coaster': Teen Mom 2's Kail Reveals PCOS Diagnosis

Kail opened up about being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) throughout tonight's Teen Mom 2 episode.


"I go through weeks and some days months doing the correct thing, and I'm not dropping a solitary pound," she stated in a diary cam pre-diagnosis. "I also have heavy periods, and then I can't sleep. There's just so several things I can't control."


The changes in her body instigated her to seek medical attention. Blood tests and a ultrasound confirmed she had the hormonal disorder.


"It's been a rough little ride in this period of my life, yet I'd like to get it under control," the mother of four mentioned on her Coffees Convos podcast with her co-host Lindsie. She then explained what girls might experience if they have PCOS and described the roller coaster ride she feels she's taken.


"Some people have trouble getting pregnant -- it affects fertility. It affects your insulin resistance," Kail stated. "You are predisposed to diabetes, heart infection, and yes it may be very challenging for people with PCOS to lose weight."


although Kail has four kids, confessed she is going to do an egg retrieval process because she may not have the ability to conceive obviously due to PCOS.


"I feel like it's easy to mention, 'I'm done having kids,'" Kail mentioned. However once the alternative is totally taken from you, and I'm not saying it has for me ... I feel like it's not fair."


Kail admitted that the negative comments about her weight on social media have been incredibly hard, and she was "nervous" about the next steps (an ultrasound and lab work) for the egg retrieval. Yet one thing is for sure: She has a support system, including Lindsie and her pals Alexa and Kristen.
