Hi I am Clarise....31 and a long term PCOS'r. I have flitted in and out of this place a few times but have just spent a bit of time reading some UK posts (I hail from sunny South Yorkshire) and felt that I had to respond as it is sometimes just soooo nice reading that you are not alone with this condition and the wonderful array of side effects it affords you!
I am on a bit of a downer at the moment, facial hair being my major bug bear right now, as well as weight gain and feeling so tired all the time but the hairs...man, it makes me crazy and really stops me living the life I want to lead at times.
I appear to be on a really low dosage of metformin compared to some of you ladies (500g) and will be bringing this up at my next meeting with my gyno.
I am married but keep a lot of this stuff to myself, my partner knows about it and I think he pretends not to see it sometimes for my sake but I find it hard talking about it with anyone really, especialy the man that I want to find me attractive and sexy and thats not gained from discussing who can grow the best beard is it! My mum is my major confidante, god bless her.
I want kids - desperatley.
I want to loose weight - and am constantly trying.
I want a smooth face - and obsess about it daily.
I guess am I am no different to many of you and am grateful that you are out there...somewhere!
