Hi my name is Lisa I am 24, and I was diagnosed with PCOS in April. I haven't felt myself for about three years! I married in 1999 and had trouble concieving, however, eventually my daughter was born in Sept 2000, and I feel very lucky to have her.
When I was pregant I ballooned in weight and was concerned even though I ate healthy. I visited my GP several times and she just said to be patient and the diets would work after I had had the baby. (they never did!) she refused to refer me for any tests!
Eventually, I saw another GP by chance and he referred me for tests as I had terrible hair growth, no periods and gained more weight. I have been put on metoformin and I was also put on cyperatone acetate, However, I was just told that I have multiple cycsts on both ovaries and that I needed to lose weight!(as if I didn't know) and to see him (the Consutlant) in three months, I have had no explanation as to how serious it is, my GP is still waiting for my notes to come through so he cannot explain!! and he took me off the cypertone as the hair growth seemed to worsen.
My husband will not discuss it (cries everytime I mention it, he is supportive of my diet though). I feel on my own but was glad to find this site to know I am not the only one going through this. My diet has been going well, but seems to have slowed down.
I would love to hear from anybody in the area that I could talk to as I am feeling very lonley.
you have a fellow cyster in manchester who would be happy to help you her email is blindbiologist@aol.com her name is kylie and she is great to talk to. have you been on the chat line the girls on there are a great support. ask to be referred to a gyno or an endo to get specialist care. about the diet i was told to go on a Insulin Resistance diet so will try that if you just want to talk my email is teenaszep1@bigpond.com
bye for now
your cyster Teena

I know where you are coming from with the loneliness I felt like that for a few years until by accident I came across this site, and never looked back.
It has given me a lot of infomation about this condition to the point where I was going into the Dr.s surgery armed with info telling them what i would like to try !!!! I think that we have all felt alone from time to time but just remember as long as you have your computer you have friends here xx
If only I lived closer I would be more than happy to meet up with you..... but I am only an e-mail away, If I can help in any way I will
Keep your chin up girl !!!!!!! I know it can be hard
best of luck
Lisa xx

Thank you for your e-mail it meant quite a lot to me since posting this thread, I have started feeling better as I now visit this site regularly and try to help others, i.e facial hair metformin ect...
I'd like to thank you as you are an insperation and if you feel happy now I am sure I can be the same. I think it's like you said lack of knowledge and unsupporting GPs, since finding this site I have also found out about other medications, which I have ready for when I see my consultant in September.
Thank you once again, and I would be happy to have contact by e-mail with you to hear your story and try and support you.
Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better in yourself...
If you want to contact me, you can anytime I will reply..
my e-mail is below
I am not in your area but i am here if you need someone to speak to !!!!!!!!!!!
