welcome to sc I sooo know what you mean. It took me years and years - and several drs to get any help. That's why this site is great, you'll learn loads - and make lots of true friends,

Welcome to SC. I am new here as well and still working on my formal diagnosis. The doctors are fairly sure is pcos. From the posts I've read already while being a new member there is so much to learn and so much I've realized about my body. You've come to a great place.
I am somewhat new here too and can understand your frustrations. I am still working on trying to get a diagnosis for my daughter and myself. Both of us go for sonograms tomorrow morning, so will have more information after that.
If you need to talk or chat PM me.

One of the hardest parts of PCOS for me is how it makes me feel "unfeminine". When I'm feeling like that, I tend to do a lot of "girly" things, like take a bubble bath, paint my nails, put on perfume, wear my pink sweaters.
And anytime you need to get things off your chest, go right ahead! That's why we're here
Hugs

When my H first met me, he said he was attracted to me because I wasn't like other girls.
Turns out he was quite right.
I too have recently been diagnosed, and chances are very good I've had this since adolescence (I'm 34). In the back of my mind I had a feeling that something wasn't quite right since periods were so scarce, but at the same time I didn't mind it too much since periods are such a hassle to deal with. But, apparently, things have caught up to me and it's quite evident PCOS is involved.
I'll admit I was very depressed to finally get diagnosed...and the odd thing is I'd kind of always prided myself on my tomboyish ways. But, after a couple of weeks of letting it sink in, I realize that I'm no different now than I was before...and at least now I know there's something I can do to help treat the symptoms.

Totally understand your frustrations. I get more frustrated with the doctors that refused to listen to me, when I think that I have trusted them to help with my issues. Guess it's been an eye opener for me to realize that I have to take my health into my own hands.
The only reason I was diagnosed was that the doctor whom had been treating me (while trying to get pregnant) went on vacation and I ended up scheduling with someone else. After over a year of dealing with the one doctor...it took the next all of 5 minutes to surmize what the problem was and then order tests.
Still, I'm learning that there's more to all this than just being told to go on Met and that I'll be on it forever. This forum has been very informational, and is teaching me many of the questions I should be asking.
Oh, I know completely how you feel. I am 29 and recently diagnosed and I feel vindicated and devastated at the same time. How many horrible days could have been prevented!
And where to begin? I have so much weight to lose it seems impossible. I don't know how I got this out of control.
I'm glad we have this forum... we can learn a lot from each other.
