I read here on SC once a theory that I found very intesting. PCOS has been around since the dawn of time and is mother nature's way of continuing the species. During "feast" times(good weather, good crops, good hunting, etc.) the women without PCOS are fertile and having babies, meanwhile the women without PCOS are infertile and storing up fat(the men, too...there is a male form of PCOS). Then when bed times hit, "famine," the other women mostly died off and the women with PCOS had the stored fat and were able to survive. They lost weight and were able to get PG and continue the species.
Interesting theory. I see some holes in it since there are thin cysters and I was thin and musclar and athletic in high school and still had all of the symptoms and was certainly infertile then, BUT I think that for a certain type of PCOS(there are different kinds) this theory makes sense.
