Welcome Emily, I do have fairly regular AF, usually about 30-32 days. I didnt think anything of my symptoms either being I have a 7 Yo DS. I kept telling my GP that we have not been exactly trying but not preventing for a year and I have not got an BFP. I had miscarried in 12/05 and that was it. (Didnt know I was even prego) So I then started getting the awsome hair where it was not supposed to be and gaining weight like crazy and couldnt seem to lose any either. It happened to be while at my Dermo. I asked if my acne meds would cause weight gain and she said , ( I will never forget these words) Oh, honey no one has ever told you what you have.... I dont have to even test you, you clearly have PCOS. I just cried. It was more that all these years I kept being told you are just overweight, and to know it is for a reason and now someone will listen to me. Sure enough I have been on Met for 4 months and lost 32lbs, I still have to stay on BCP for another month or so being I finished Accutane a month ago, but we will see what no BCP's bring in a couple months.
I know the relief of OMG... I am not crazy there is something wrong, feels...LOL I am so happy for you and I hope you find a good doc to listen to you and help. Good Luck with everything !!
