HI EVERYONE

I FINALLY DECIDED TO GO ON A FORUM AS ONLY PCOS PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND ALL THE WONDERFUL SYMPTOMS THAT COME WITH THIS SYNDROME. UNFORTUNETELY I WAS DIAGNOSED LATE AND NOW SUFFER FROM T2 DIABETES AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL. I KNEW 16YEARS AGO I MIGHT HAVE THIS AS I HAD TROUBLE WITH FERTILITY. THE GYNE KEPT LOOKING FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS AND COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING. ABOUT 6YEARS AGO I SAW ANOTHER GYNE AND TOLD HIM THAT I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE PCOS AND HE SAID IF I DID IT WASN'T SEVERE ENOUGH TO TREAT!!!!! IMAGINE THAT. ANYWAY I HAD ALL THE SYMPTOMS HAIR GROWTH, HYPOGLYCEMIA, OVARIAN CYST, IRREGULAR PERIOD... ANYWAY WHEN I HAD THE SYMPTOMS I WAS THIN AND NOW FEW YEARS LATER I'M 90LBS HEAVIER. IT'S REALLY HARD TO LOSE.ONE BLESSING THOUGH I HAVE 2CHILDREN. I'VE READ ON THE FORUM MANY SISTERS THAT ARE HAVING TROUBLE CONCEIVING. I DO UNDERSTAND AS IT TOOK ME 2YEARS FOR MY FIRST CHILD. I HAD A LAPAROSCOPY BEFORE BOTH PREGNANCY. I THINK THIS HELPED TO GET PREGNANT..

SINCE I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED I TRIED TAKING METFORMIN AND HAD LOTS OF GI SIDE EFFECT. (EVEN STARTING WITH 250MG A DAY WHICH IS A SMALL AMOUNT) I WAS HOPING IT WOULD WORK TO MAYBE HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS. I'M GOING TO SEE MY ENDO IN FEBRUARY AND HE WANTED ME TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT AND WASN'T SUCCESSFUL. I EVEN GOT A DOG WHICH MAKES ME GO FOR WALKS DAILY. THANK GOODNESS FOR COOKIE MY NEW DOG. THEY REALLY HELP FOR EXERCISE.I DO RECOMMEND IT. I WAS A CAT LOVER MYSELF.. ANYWAY I DO HAVE ISSUES WITH IBS AS WELL ANYONE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH PCOS? THIS IS AWFUL TO HAVE. AS WELL I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION I'M FROM NORTHERN ONTARIO CANADA... SO I'M EXCITED TO BE PART OF THIS GROUP ALL FOR NOW AS THIS IS A LONG E-MAIL

Welcome! I am new myself. I am sorry you were diagnosed so late but good that you can maybe now get it under control since you know what you're dealing with. Good to "see" you.
