Hey all!
I just registered today but I have been browsing the forums for awhile now and have to thank everyone for how helpful it has been.
I just got officially diagnosed with PCOS 2 weeks ago but have had suspicions for awhile now
When I was 18 (I am 26 now) I started missing periods and gaining weight. It didn't become a huge issue to me until about 1 year and a half ago when I stopped having my period altogether, the weight gain increased, and I started getting hairy
I kept putting off going to my doctor about it because I guess I was scared and also embarrassed ( I went from 130 to close to 200 lbs) but I am glad I finally did.
I just started taking Metformin, 500 twice a day. In addition I was prescribed the Yasmine birthcontrol. No side effects so far so I'm happy about that.
My husband and I are hoping to try to conceive once I get my weight back down to normal. I'm using a combination of the south beach diet and doing my workout video (45 mins) 4 times a week. I heard that this combined with the Met should help me get down fairly quickly (crosses fingers)
I'm sure in the next couple months I'll be a frequent visitor so just wanted to say hello to everyone!

Hi! Welcome to the forum! From my past experience with Met, it definitely helped when I exercised regularly and ate better foods. Sounds like you are on a great path!
