Hi everyone. I'm new to the board. My name is Robyn and I'm 25 years old. I was just diagnosed in July and have been doing a lot of research. I've already had 2 opinions from OB/GYNs (I didn't really like the first one) and I have and appointment with a RE on Tuesday. I really think he'll have a better idea of the correct approach to take other than BCP, since I really don't want to take them and that is all the OB/GYNs suggested. I've been with my boyfriend for a little over 5 years and he's currently in the United States Marines, so that's making this a little bit harder to get through.
I'm really glad that I found this site, knowing that there are other people like me and that I'm not a "freak!"
Welcome to SC robyn, i too was told by my OBgyne to take BCPs which only made my acne worse, you could say i went doctor shopping because i went through a lot of doctors before finding a good one the last one was a RE who finally was able to help me and told me to get blood tests and perscribed me metformin. soul cysters definetly helped me understand pcos more.
