I'm new here. My name is Kalyn and I am 25. I was diagnosed with PCOS almost 2 years ago. After endless changes in my bc (which I had been on since I was 17) and many different doctors they found it. I was taken off of bc around the time I was diagnosed because of high blood pressure. They did surgery cause I also have a lot of scar tissue. I was regular for about a year (probably the only year out of my whole life) and now I haven't had a period since March 17th, 2007. Going on 8 months. I am going to check into a new doctor. My old doctor (who is no longer practicing in the area anymore) wanted me to go back on Provera, but I don't want that. It makes me so sick to my stomach and just makes me feel weird all over. He said there was no other choices and I know that is wrong. One of my friends who also has PCOS was put on Glucophage and that has helped her tremendously, she also has trouble with Provera. One of my biggest fears is never having children, since this is something I want very much in life. I also have super oily skin, excess face/body hair (which makes me so self consious), I do have a weight problem - which I have been trying to work on (56lbs lost since Jan. '07). I am terrified of going to the doctor though. I can't afford another surgery, or a ton of tests. One of my friends told me that she is not a doctor who puts you into surgery. That is one of her last resorts and she will try to find another route to avoid it. I'm still nervous though. My mom, dad, sister, and boyfriend (who I have been with for 5 years) try to be sympathetic, but I know they really don't understand. So I am hoping that through here I am able find others who can share my pain, pull me through the bad times, and let me vent when I need to.
