I've had PCOS since I was 13, although my doctors/specialists have only confirmed this over the last 4 years. The symptoms are various and affect women in different ways. I think this site is fab and offers much more knowledge than my doctors/specialists ever have. Its great to share stories/experiences with others who are going through the same thing.
Thanks for the welcome. I thought it'd cheer me up to chat to women going through or been throught the same things as me. My family and boyfriend are very supportive but I get the feeling they just don't know what it's like to live with PCOS.
At the moment I'm on some herbal medication to try and treat it. They mimic oestrogen and progesterone and hopefully mask androgens. So far, it seems to be working- although I haven't had a full cycle taking them. My acne has cleared up a treat and I'm convinced it's because of it! Now if I could just get rid of the hair......
