Hi there.
It's so good to find so much information in one spot!
I only found out that I had PCOS about 4 months ago. My periods had stopped for 8 months but my doctor just said keep waiting don't worry! So I went and saw another Doctor and thats when I learnt about PCOS. I was put on Diane and told I'll get a moustache hair loss and come back and see me when you want to get pregnant. The pill made me put on a bucket load of weight, I have always had to be incerdibly strict to stay at about 60-65kg with constant 2 hours + daily exercise (I'm an exercise fanatic anyway so no biggie) but now I have suddenly expanded up to nearly 70 and it's all around my rear end, thighs and belly and it seems to be very hppy there and absolutly refuses to budge. Not to mention the Pill makes me horribly depressed and unhappy! I went and saw a specialist and he just said calories in calories out thats all there is too it! He also diagnosed Endometritis as well so I just it removed via keyhole.

Anyway whinge moan groan enough of that! Too the point I'd really appreciate any help on weight loss and stopping my hair falling out! I'm malting more than the cat. I think I have stopped expanding by living on tiny portions of fruit, veg and nuts. (RIP chicken toasties and Mum's pancakes)
But any advice would be more than welcome. Especially about Metformin (sp?). Who does it help? Why hasn't the doctors or anyone else told me about it yet?

Hello, cheers and thank-you.
