hi there,

i have pcos, i have known about it for 7 years and my aunt has it as it can be genectic. that i know of there isnt a certain time in the month to be tested for pcos. i had all the symtoms so they gave me a blood test and it came back fine, you should be offered a scan which i had and they saw straight away that i have pcos. i was put on to metformin and all my symtons went it was great, but then after about a year and a half it stopped working cuz my body was so used to it, so they put me on the highest dosage and they seemed to work.after about 2 years of trying for a baby i concieved the docs
where just about to give me clomid to help me get pregnant but didnt need it. my aunt has known about her pcos for about ten years. she was trying to concieve for 2 years the docs put her on clomid and she fell pregnant with in 3 months. but she was taking metformin before which worked for her as well.
metformin isnt just for pcos suffers which are over wieght even though it can help i wasnt over wieght at all. you have to eat a well balanced diet to help with the symtons, because its all to do with insulin.

* I hit puberty young in the sense of body hair and stuff
* this year I have had 2 periods,one of which was because I came off the pill
* my skin is horrendous
* I have what they call a 'happy trail' on guys-I'm not so happy about it.These hairs are black and my natural hair colour is blonde.
* I sleep ridiculous amounts,and find it extremely hard to find the energy to do anything
* I think I may be addicted to junk food.I kid you not.
* I often experience headrushes on standing up
* excess weight in general
* I was sleeping with my boyfriend for 8 months...nothing.I have also had sex on numerous other occassions without using anything.
* mood swings - well I am a teenager!
* I sleep badly but don't think its a disorder
* I have had a spontaneous miscarriage before


There we go.

I have been for scans and the doctor has told me that it is more than likely I have PCOS.

Her advice?

"Don't leave having kids til you're 39"

Anyone who wants to talk about this then please drop me a line

Howdy. I have PCOS as well. Diagnosed by symptoms and TVUS...seeing all those cysts was NOT a happy moment for me. I have the irregular periods, excessive body hair, middle weight, heat aversion. It SUCKS. When I was 12 I got my first AF and since then it's been a nightmare. I had to miss a month of HS cause I was bleeding HEAVY non-stop, then I would go 6 months with it, 1 week w/o it and then another 6 months with it..and the next year it would go to 6 months w/o it a week with it, etc...SO annoying! I started with provera in January and then with Clomid in July and after two cycles of it (and them saying I didn't ovulate on the second one) I got a BFP! Woo Hoo! I can be done! Just wondering how we're going to control AF once I have the baby...BCPs I guess...yuck.

Its odd for me to say.
I didn't have many symptoms.
I was slim, I loved ice-cream but I think that was just me.
I have large breasts,
I'm not hairy,
I didn't sleep much, was kind of hyper active.
I didn't know about my periods, I was on the pill.
I started my periods when I was 16.
The only thing that pointed towards something not being quite right was a sharp stabbing pain I had once mid cycle, I collapsed and had to go home, the doc said not to worry, but he didn't even come out to see me.

Then I came off the pill.
My periods stopped. I was living in Spain at the time so I paid to see a gynea. After a scan he said I had a cyst the size of an orange. After tablets it cleared up, I found that hard to believe, I was preparing myself to go to Barcelona for an op. Gynea recommended that I go on a pill he prescribed and told me not to come off for a year.

I came off over a year later. I ballooned, I mean I put on 6 stone at least, I was craving sweet stuff all the time, it left a metallic taste in my mouth, I was depressed and tired all the time and my periods came about 3 times a year. I was trying for a baby with my ex hubby for 2 years before an internal scan found my string of pearls over my ovaries and I was diagnosed.

I can't describe the pain of hearing that there was something wrong. My GP gave me Merformin and kept a close eye on me.

It was like a miracle drug to me. All the weight fell off, the cravings stopped and I was back to my old self, apart from the cycles. They never really returned to normal.

6 years later I am in a new relationship and after resigning myself to the fact I was going to need help with conceiving and starting a nursing degree I fall pregnant, unexpected.

Can you believe it?

I tell Bubbas Daddy that Bubba was probably just waiting for the right Daddy to come along, we are over the moon.

So there is hope, my best friend has PCOS, and I pray for her to be blessed also, she deserves it so much.

PCOS is such a strange thing.
Sorry...... I'm rambling now.
