Im new here and I really need to vent. I am tired of PCOS. Since I have been 18 years old, Ive been dealing with this disease. As my 37th birthday approaches, Ive been more depressed, sitting and crying alot. I been though everything - BCPs in my 20s, then provera to bring on periods when I was TTC, to infertiliy treatments in my early 30s- I stopped after 1 cycle of IVF...I couldnt afford anymore. I have been on every combination and dosage of metformin - nothing. I have been on the atkins diet (it worked for a bit, but I couldnt do it long term), tried acupuncture and chinese herbs, exercise.....I dont know if the problem is that nothing works for me or that I just dont have the temperment to continue anything long term - and I beat myself up for that. I feel like Im approaching menopause - but ive been menopausal my whole life. I dont even feel like a woman...Im overweight, if I didnt pluck Id grow a beard....I know that many of you feel the same, Im just waiting for something, any kind of breakthrough. they say that you have to hit rock bottom before you can transform your life......I need something to transform me.

My hubby is supportive, but he has issues too. We are both overweight. We talk about exercising together, new diet, but we both start and fail over and over again.

Just venting helps, maybe someone somewhere has insight.

A supportive husband can make all the difference. I am going through a lot right now and a huge part of me is ubber frustrated with a lot of junk right now. I understand you need to vent. Good luck to you!

I understand. My husband is slowly learning how to be supportive, sometimes you need to help them learn about what's really going on with you.

Are you on Met now? I know you said it didn't work previously, but I've found that you need to couple it with exercise, lots of vegetables and a low carb diet to see good results.

Regardless of anything, at least know you're not alone here.
