I am 29 and have been married for almost three years now. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2005. I had surgery to remove two huge ovarian cyst on my left ovary in March of that yearm, but wasn't diagnosed until like September/October of that year. In 2006 I was diagnosed with endometriosis and fibroid tumors. I have several angels in heaven, and my son Tre' was born still January 12, 2008.
I am a Registered Nurse and I have two step-children. My cycles used to be exactly 28 days until I was about 25 when they started to get longer and longer. I have always been heavier, I ballooned when I was in third grade and no one really knew why. I have the facial hair, but not that bad..thank goodness! I am insulin resistant so I take Metformin 1500mg and that is a ball of fun...NOT!
I hope I get to have a lil cyster...I think it would be really cool!

I am here to be a big cyster. I grew up with pcos unfortunately not knowing what was wrong with me from 14 to 18 years old. I live in North Dakota, but I travel a lot of places with my dbf for his work, I love animals (especially dogs), I have a malamute/husky mix, I love racing, both nascar and nhra, I am 27 years old. I have pcos, arthritis, depression and anxiety. The former 2 I work hard to get through, so far with out any medications. Please fell free to contact me, I am most always on at least once a day. I will help what I can and just be there for you to vent or whatever.
I'd like a big cyster too; I'm 19 and have been dx'd for almost a year. I've been looking ever since then for someone who really understands where I'm coming from.
I would love to be a big sister I don't know everything, but quite a bit as when I was first diagnosed at age 24 I researched PCOS like it was my job. I've had many symptoms since I was 14. I'm now 27 living with my husband and 3 animals. 1 dog (boxer) and 2 cats. You can see from my signature what meds I'm on, have dealt with depression since I was 14 so I can relate very well there, have come off my anti-d's due to TTC. I'm also a teacher and coach of high school girls so I feel like I can relate pretty well. My husband is a youth pastor and we've dealt with ALL kind of young adult issues. Please don't let that scare you away. I consider myself very non-judgemental person since I get judged every Sunday! Aghghghg... We consider ourselves very liberal. If I'm a good fit for anyone feel free to pm me anytime

since I can't send you PMs, here's my reply to your message:
I just need a shoulder to cry on and a source of support if I need to vent because I'm going through a very tough time with PCOS. and you're correct in assuming that I've never been to North Dakota; however, I've been to South Dakota.
I haven't taken any photography classes or anything, I just enjoy taking random pictures with my digital camera and then warping them or mishmoshing them all together with Photoshop. I did take Beginning and Advanced computer graphics in High School and that's another thing I enjoy.
It sounds like you have your life pretty much under control--am I right? I am hoping one day I can reach that point myself. What kinds of things do you do to lift your spirits? Are there any places you like to go that make you feel at home (away from home)?
For me, it's kind of bizarre, but the salon where I go to get my hair (and occasional facials and massages) done is amazing. Everyone who works there is so friendly and accepting, the atmosphere is very inviting (makes me wish I could be there every minute of every day!), and not only that--they have a vintage clothing boutique on the upstairs floor, live jazz music on saturdays, and it is housed in an 18th century building that was once an inn where Martha Washington used to stay, so all the original hardwood floors are still in tact as well as an old fireplace that is there just for show. PM me for the link to their website if you want to see what the interior looks like. There are also pics and bios of everyone who works there. My parents think this is B.S. but I think BLue has changed my life because whenever I go there, I'm treated with the respect I feel I deserve, and mainly because my hairstylist and facialist believe in me and support my endeavors. One time I gave my hairstylist (whose forte is rock star hair, which is awesome because we're on the same page every time i show him a picture of a new rock star style that I want, and every time i see him we talk about music) a mix CD that I made for him for Christmas, and I pointed out that one of the artists on there started out as a rock singer and then moved on to do Broadway, so his reply was "That will be you one day, except you'd probably start out on Broadway and then become a rock star" To me, that was huge. and the fact that he didn't say "maybe" proved that he knew I could accomplish that--of course, my goal in life is not to become a broadway actress or a nationally recognized musician; however, I'd like to go a bit further with my music and one day do a tour in small venues around the US. Still, to have people like that who believe in me is a big source of hope. I just wish I could be there more often. Part of my mentally healthy self-indulgence plan is that starting this month I will be treating myself to a 1/2 hour massage.
Well, I just needed to get all that out there. There are very few people who understand what that means to me.
Tomorrow I'm seeing a reproductive endocrinologist whose specialty is PCOS so I'm hoping she will be helpful and understanding unlike the other gynos I've seen. My bad experiences have led me to build an aversion to doctors in general so I need to get past that; I'm hoping this will help.
