Hi guys! I've been lurking for what seems like ages now, since my doc first suggested sending me for blood tests to check hormone levels at the beginning of the year, but thought I'd introduce myself :-)
Name: Donna
Age: 21
Family situation: Engaged to James for what seems like a million years :-p. Planning to marry after I graduate in 2009, hopefully try for a family after that.
PCOS symptoms: irregular periods that got more and more irregular over time, overweight, excess hair (I'm the only woman I know that has to wax her stomach before getting the bikini out in the summer, and I have more hair on the bottom of my back than my bf!!)
Worst thing about PCOS: how amazingly difficult it is to lose weight, the excess hair, and never being able to tell why my next period is gonna be when I'm not on BCP.
Medications used: Dianette, possibly changing to spiro later on since my doc doesn't want me on Dianette for too long.
NHS or Private: NHS
Action taken against PCOS: Losing weight (1 stone down, 2 to go but it's taken me all summer).
PM or email: either is fine
