Hi I’m Cari, Im 20 years old. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 11 years old. I have never really had AF on with out being on BC, I quickly gained weight about 80 Lbs. I have horrible manly hair on my face and dark patches of skin on my neck and between my breast. I have been to many doctors none of which really listened to me and acted like they knew anything about PCOS. I ended up dropping out of school in the ninth grade because of how bad I was teased because of my wieght and the facial hair. I have been with my Fiance since I was 14, he is so understanding and great! We are getting married May 22,2010 and I am so excited!!! We have been actively TTC for 2 years now, So of coarse I stopped taking BC and since I have gained more wieght and the hair is a lot worse . I have anxiety so bad and I am very depressed. I feel like I am less of a woman because of my PCOS. After doing a lot of research, I made a doctor appointment. 9-22-09 And FINNALY I found one that knows how to help me!!! He prescribed me Metformin 500mg. But after reading many of your stories on here, I am thinking I need to ask him to up my dosage. I am lucky to not have any nasty S/E form the Metformin!!!! YAY!!!! Hopefully we will be blessed and this metformin works for me!!! I am so happy I found this site, You all are so helpful! And I am glad to know there are other women going through the same thing as me, and I finnaly have someone to talk to that really understands what is going on with me! THANK YOU!!!
We are all here to support one another and try to understand more about PCOS and what we can do to change the affects it has on our bodies. You should look into some natural forms to help you coinceve such as Vitex, Saw Palmento, Natural Progesterone Cream, Cinnamon etc. Good Luck and lots of baby dust to you!!
