My name is Corey, I'm 23 and I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS. I had stopped taking my BC in Jan and with that AF stopped coming around. In May I decided it was finally time to go see my doctor because SOMETHING was definately wrong.
My hair was falling out in clumps in the shower, I was beginning to have really bad acne (which I had fortunately never delt with before), I gained 20 lbs after being already heavy, and hair started growing on my body in odd places. I was scared and the only thing that scared me more was hearing PCOS come out of my doctors mouth. See I had heard of PCOS before and the fertility problems it can cause. Though I was relieved to finally know what in the heck was going on with me!
She put me on Metiformin, did some blood work, and is having me come back end of this month. Come to find out I also have an underactive thyroid! Somethings are getting a bit better, I'm already not losing as much hair and the acne has gone down a bit (with the help of amazing products also). The only thing I am having trouble with still is the hair on my body and the weight loss. I have lost 8lbs though!
Anyways, I am so grateful to have found this board because I am literally on the verge of tears whenever I think about it sometimes. It's nice to have other women experiencing the same thing to talk to! I hope to make some great friends here and I hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Welcome and congrats on the weight loss (not a lot yet I know...but it's gotta start somewhere). There are TONS of diet and exercise suggestions on this board. The metformin should help you lose a little weight too. Feel free to ask any questions..or just explore all the info on this board. Welcome, again!
