Name Jane
Age 37
Family situation Divorced twice by the time I was 31. Lived with a complete waste of space for a while, the only good thing to come of that relationship was my gorgeous 4 year old son, Stewart. No serious relationships since split with the father in September 1999 and the father has absolutely no contact with us at all. Work full time (and then some!) as a Risk Advisor for a Bank. Have a great mother who looks after my son when I'm at work - even when I have to go away for work!
PCOS symptoms Acne, multiple cysts (last burst one on left hand side leading to removal of left ovary and tube), IR, excess weight, mood swings greater than Tarzan on a vine!! Bikini line that goes from my naval to my knees and a hairy back! Don't you just love this syndrome??!!
Worst thing about PCOS Going through 6 years ttc when I was married, including failed IVF, and waxing all the darn hair off!
Medication 500mg Met (probably increasing to 1000mg next month), 6 cycles of Clomid when TTC and IVF. Nothing at the moment
NHS or Private NHS - Bit of both. Mostly NHS as my GP is fabulous and does the tests from her surgery so don't have an endo, etc. Used BUPA when my cyst burst and I needed treatment straight away due to NHS waiting lists.
Action taken against PCOS Keep trying to low carb but also keep falling off the wagon

Any other information Originally from London but moved to Leeds in 1988 with my first husband. My mum moved up to be with me when my beloved late step-dad was told his condition was terminal in 1994 - he was given one year to live and lived 4 years!! I have never called my mum "mum" but always by her christian name "Dorothy" - she HATED the word "mum"!!! I LOVE IT!
