I'm new here. I was dx'd with PCOS a few years back. I am here because I need to connect with other women who understand. My weight is going up up up no matter what I do. I'm going to the gym every day and working out and watching what I eat but I'm still gaining. I have hair all over my freakin' face. My periods are so far out of whack it's unreal. I guess I should tell y'all that I'm lucky though. I had a helluva fertility doc that figured this all out after 5 years of infertility. He put me on met and clomid along with progesterone and I was able to get pregnant and carry our baby to term. He's now 2 years old and adorable! I really need to lose this weight and am stuck as to what to do. Any help would be appreciated. It's nice to be here.
I know what you are going through. My weight was climbing no matter what I did, the facial hair is horrible. My Dr. put me on Metformin 2 months ago and it has really helped with the weight loss. I'm also doing Weight Watchers. I have been successful and have started losing weight, much easier than I was before.
We have a weight watchers thread over on the Diet and Exercise board. We have a great time and share in the weight loss journey. You are welcome to pop over and check it out.

I just joined this site today for the same reason you did... to connect with women who understand. I'm 21 and I've been struggling with some of the symptoms of PCOS since I was ten. I first got my period when I was 10... within a year I went from 100 pounds to 160 pounds! Every year after that for 4 years I would gain another 10 pounds. By the time I graduated from high school I had gotten my weight down to 155 pounds... but now I am back up to 175 pounds. Over the past eleven years I've had to deal with being over weight... acne... excess hair... depression... and social anxiety. I have always felt like a freak... knowing about PCOS has helped a little... It felt so good to finally know what was causing everything... and to know that I wasn't the only one out there. I'm too embarrassed to talk to any of my friends about it... I don't know... well this is way longer than planned... so yeah... I'm gonna stop. I'm just so happy that I found this site.
