I don't know if anyone else saw this show on Friday afternoon (or even watches it) but I only saw the end, as I was waiting for something else to start. They had this girl on the show & the dr was talking to her mum about her acne, periods, etc & I was sitting there thinking PCOS & what do you know she had pcos. I thought it was kind of amazing for a fictional show to have pcos within the main plot line.

I wanted to share on friday but the board was down & I have just thought about it again. I think the show is repeated on UK Gold or one of those channels, so you may be able to see it at some point. It is all to do with a girl stealing & the mum pushing her too hard. If you are looking for the basic plotline.

Hi

I saw this episode and like you from very early on I thought she's gonna be dx as PCOS. I agree that it was good to appear on aprogramme like this but again STRESS causes Pcos!!!! - so nothing else does then!!!

Who did they get this fact from?

Hi.I was also going to post about this last Friday. I was pleased they used pcos for a storyline , but i did think they made it sound like it was really easy to treat (just take this pill and everything will be fine .lol). But to even use it is a good start. I wish all Doctors could spot the symptoms , like Ben did.

I'm sorry I didn't see the programme so can't comment on how the stress issue was portrayed in the storyline, but I would say that stress, although not the cause of PCOS, can act as a trigger.

I managed to get my weight and hormones under control for a good long while, purely on diet and exercise, etc.. However, my life circumstances were fairly normal and happy at this point. Things were going pretty well, until I hit a pretty stressful situation in my life and the weight and symptoms kindly reappeared. In discussion with my IVF consultant, who at the time was undertaking a study on PCOS, I was told that stress can act as a "trigger", although it is by no means the cause.

Has anyone else out there ever had this type of experience where they have got things "under control" and then something has happened and it has restarted the hormone imbalance?
