hello there
I was diagnosed about two years ago and until now I have done nothing about it. I have all your classic symptoms: irregular cylces, hair, weight, skin tags, difficult weight loss....yet I have never followed thru with any treatments. I figured why should I worry about all of thsi stuff at 21 years old? well i am now 23 and ive finally decided to take control. someday i want kids and what i do today could affect that from becoming a reality. not to mention all the other benefits of taking care of myself!
so in march im finally goign to the doctor to get blood drawn, pelvic exam, all that fun stuff! i am about 100lbs overweight at this moment in time so I will be going to see a nutritionist as well. i am posting because i would like to know if there are any newer people who want to go through this together. let me know!
also does anyone know if the diet described in the book "The New Glucose Revolution Guide to Living Well with PCOS" is any good? i just picked it up and it seems reasonable in nature but would like some feedback if you any ofyou have any! thanks amillion to everyone, all of your posts really inspire me

Kudos for taking things into your own hands, and meeting them head on!

I wish I'd been diagnosed at that age, to be able to combat some of the issues earlier. I didn't get a diagnisis until 28, when we couldn't get pregnant. Looking back now, I had all the symptoms by age 18, if not earlier.

Can't tell you about the diet book yet...I've ordered it on Amazon, but they've said it wont be shipped til mid March. Arg. And I was all gung-ho when I ordered it.

Best luck to you
