Hi everyone,

I'm Natalie and I've just joined, my online friend recommend this site. I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS yet. I'll give you guys a brief story of what’s going on with me though.

I'm currently living in the US I emigrated from the United Kingdom about 2yrs ago now, that's a whole different story though anyway... I started to become very obese during puberty, started my periods when I was 13 and only had one they didn't return until till I was 15; then they stopped again and returned when I was 16. During that time I had really bad acne, when I say really bad they were basically blood blisters, which were on my face. Finally decided to go to the doctor they thought I might have PCOS. They did some blood work and apparently they were all fine. Basically they told me it was my weight that was causing my irregular periods and acne. They put me on the Birth Control pill, the acne cleared up within 6mths, and I started to have regular periods.

My online friend has just recently been diagnosed with PCOS, and it has made me wonder if I still have this. So I'm thinking of getting a second opinion here in the US, I don't know if I'm being paranoid or not.

Natalie.

If you haven’t checked out the research articles here is the link: research articles section - http://www.soulcysters.net/forumdisplay.php?f=45

There isn't a "cure" for PCOS. Birth control pills can help with the symptoms. Often they mask the symptoms. If you go off the bcp you might actually find your symptoms are worse. That's not always the case, though. I'm glad you have something that is working for you, though. If you have any questions be sure and ask!

Welcome!! The resources here are REALLY helpful!! Be sure and read through them and in my opinion, I think a second opinion is ALWAYS a good idea.

Well, I went to my Drs yesterday and had the blood tests done. So we'll know for certain in couple of days.
