Kailyn said on her Coffee Convos Podcast with Lindsie Chrisley: “I will say the hardest part for me in all of this is very superficial maybe. The comments that I get about my weight on social media and being on the show has been the hardest part for me.
“And that’s where I get emotional because I didn’t expect it and it’s not something I’ve been able to control. I’ve tried. And so when people comment and they’re like pig, cow, this that and the third, I’m like well f**k. Something is wrong.
“Normally I don’t care this much because my weight has fluctuated. So I’m like I’ll just lose the weight, and it’ll be fine. And I’ll feel better about myself. For a little over eight months, I have gone through- like do I get surgery. What is wrong with me that I can’t lose weight?”
Kailyn also discussed her PCOC diagnoses on the podcast.
She said before she was diagnosed with PCOS “I was having such heavy periods. I was bleeding through three and four changes of clothes per day during my period… and I would bleed through my mattress. I would bleed through everything.”
She added her gynecologist order labwork and an ultrasound which found she had almost 10 cysts on one ovary, and the other had a cyst that was half the size of the organ.
Before speaking with her doctor, the Teen Mom 2 star googled what the labwork results could mean saying: “… the first thing that came in my mind, I’m like ‘oh my god I have cancer.’ I’m like crying. I don’t want to die… I literally cried myself to sleep.”
