Wow at the people on this forum!!! I am 22 and have been having most of the symptoms of PCOS. I've been having a lot of pain and still can not get to the OB/Gyn until August 24th. Hopefully I'll find out for sure then. I just wanted to look out and prepare myself for whatever this may be.
I started my period at age 13, and it was mostly regular. I'd skip a month or two here and there and just placed it all on stress. Lately, I haven't had my period in 4 months.. and if I don't start before my appt, it'll be 6 months!! I have acne on my face, shoulders, and back.. hair from head to toe!! BC of this my self confidence has gone way down hill since my oh so carefree days of high school when I was life of everything!!!... My breast are extremely sore!! My dermatologist just put me on Yasmin this wk for acne (as well as a few topicals) and I start the pill Sunday. We'll see how that helps and if it makes me start my cycle. Also in the past few months, I've been putting on unexplained pounds. We'll just have to see.. it could be a cyst, a tumor or anything!
anyways.. I looked forward to chatting with you all and any isnight or hope is great. Prayer is great!!!
Also.. I'm looking into laser hair removal for next year when I finish college. No way can I afford it now. There's this system called Cutera / laser coolglide that I've heard of around my area but I'm unsure of the costs.. Has anyone used this!? Thanks!
