Hey Yarna. Well Ihavfaith is the thin sistah lol. I consider myself on the thick side lol. I just have a lot of hips and boobs. I was diagnosed because I was on birth control pills, which I never really like so I stopped taking them and realized my period came and never stopped. I was bleeding for almost a month until I got back on birth control. My gyn examined me and saw the little bubbles (cysts) on my ovary and asked if i shaved my face and diagnosed me. He said he really doesn't like the term PCOS because not all women have symptoms. I have the IR, the hirsutism, and the weight gain a little around the mid region (though I've lost most of that recently). I don't have thinning hair, depression, acne, no other symptoms really. When I recently had a cyst removed the surgeon(my gyn) said my ovaries looked fine, except for the right fallopian tube being stretched out from the Huge cyst being there. I LOVE children and would love to have some of my own some day so I'm hoping not to encounter any issues. I won't know til I try though.
