Brrrr but its COLD in Dunedin!! I like my sunshine and lack of snow thank you very much!

Hey Just me, dont tell me, your from Dunedin too? Have a look around the boards and see what areas you want to talk about. Catching PCOS in your teens is great as you can get it under control nice and early!

Default Me too!

Hi, im new, and I live in Dunedin - the party town lol!
I am so stoaked to finally find a PCOS forum, that has space for us NZers!

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2004, and really annoyed that all my doc told me to do was 'loose some weight and you'll be right' There was no advice on how to, or what i should be eating etc... and I didnt really understand what PCOS was. Its only really been in the last couple of months that I have got to understand it - since Im getting married in two weeks and planning to try for a baby end of next year!

Hey Skoodles! Welcome!

Why so many Cysters in Dunedin?! Maybe the lack of Vitamin D huh? lol
Maybe we should get a coffee group or something together seeing as there is a group of us!

I'm peed off with your GP too for just telling you to lose weight - any other good GPs in your area you could try? You might want to try Metformin or BCPs or even fertility meds. Or could you try a naturopath?
Actually, perhaps you should direct your GP to SoulCysters next time!

(BTW - losing weight is still a good idea, I'm addicted to FitCysters!)

yeah i'm getting pretty peeved about my doc the more i think about how useless he is. he's the only doc in our region, but i'm trying to make a trip to hokitika to see a doc there.. will take me a while but i'll get there.
just wondering about how one goes about getting medication? can ya ask/demand it, or do you have to meet a certain criteria to be able to be on it, and is it expensive?
I'm going to start to try and lose weight, i want to do it properly this time, good old exercise and healthier eating. will have a look at fitcysters, thanks =)
