My name is Jennifer I am 27 and was told about a year ago after not feeling myself i had high levels of insulin, and after further complaining and testing i have been diagnosed with PCOS. I have alot of different symptoms including hair loss, oily hair, facial hair, acne, irregular menstrual cycles, annovulatory cycles, lots of cramps, swelling of my boobs, etc... I have been being treated by my primary who was the one who caught it... But have finally drawn the line and asked for a referral to an endocronologist since i am trying to get pregnant and need to get this under control. I am on metformin 1 x a day and was recently upped to 2 x a day which my stomach can't handle so i am back to 1 x a day.
Any suggestion to bring with me to the doctor?
Any experiences you would like to share please do so!
Hope to get to know you all!
