Hello...I am new to the boards and I am currently waiting to get into the doctor for my first appointment. My GYN told me a few years ago that he thought I had PCOS, I had one round of blood tests, but unfortunately I switched jobs and lost insurance befor I could go further. I now live in another state, have a new job, and new insurance. I can't get into the doc's til May 24th because I am coming in as a new patient. I am really hoping to get things under control before I get married in October because I know we want to TTC not long after we're married. I have a bunch of the classic symptoms....too much hair where I don't want it to be, it's very hard to lose weight, most of my weight is around my middle, I'm tired ALOT, my skin has dramatically changed over the past few years (it's soooo dry now and never used to be), and I also have virutally no periods at all. I would say I haven't had a period in 3 years, maybe more. I've recently started dieting in hopes that diet modification will help. My half sister who also has PCOS recently announced that she's pregnant and she really hasn't done anything as far as drugs go...just eating healthier. Any advice on what I can do now until I have my appointment in May? And what should I ask the doctor when I finally see her? Thanks Ladies!
