Name: Melissa
Age: 24
Family situation: Living with my wonderful fiance, getting married December 2006 & can't wait! No children as yet, however will be thinking about trying after we get married (terrified about not being able to concieve!)
Occupation: Occupational Therapy student
PCOS symptoms: Weight gain, acne, very irregular (at the moment non-existant) periods, not sure about infertility yet! terrible cramps and lots of back pain
Medication: Was taking metformin but had to stop it due to it upsetting my stomach so much, very effective in restarting my periods though!
NHS or Private: NHS and what a waste of time that is! Very un-sympathetic doc who I'm sure thinks that I enjoy living with PCOS
Very happy for people to pm me!
Be strong, do your research and don't let ignorant male doctors dismiss you!
