As a woman with PCOS I applaud your desire to learn more.

It is very easy to have self esteem and mood swing disorders with PCOS. I internalize everything and second guess everything sometimes.

I have recently experienced CRAZY mood swings and my gyno did the ultrasound and I have two HUGE cysts on both my ovaries. I think it is in direct correlation to the mood swings.

In the state where I live there are free clinics and as I work in insurance I know that many times state health programs can be obtained for girls in your girlfriends situation. Ask about family planning which covers a pap smear and birth control medicine.

Talk to your gf about going to the Department of Health and having at least a pap smear done. Birth Control Pills seem to be the number one medicine prescribed to girls with PCOS....and she should be able to get those for free at the health department.
