I was just diagnosed June 2008, I am 29 but have been showing symptoms since I 1st got my period at 12. EVERYTHING makes sense now! I really thought I was just an unhappy person....who knew the mood swings were caused by an actual condition?! I am a little scared but have been online nonstop since finding out so I'm feeling much better than at the beginning. My dr wants to put me on Metformin & Yaz so I have hope now, but have to wait on rx until my surgery to remove cyst. I am excited to meet others with PCOS to compare notes!
My symptoms:
Irregular periods since age 12 (haven't had 1 in close to a year)
Excess facial/body hair
Thinning hair (and everybody told me, "Oh, you're just getting older.")
Acne (only as an adult)
Excess weight on my middle
IR
Dark skin: underarms, back of neck, & groin area
skin tags
possible sleep apnea-excessive snoring
Anxiety/depression/mood swings(which combined with everyday stress I believe has caused jaw-clenching, which then led to migraines)
ZERO sex drive
Please comment, I would like to hear from people who understand.
Welcome! I too was just diagnosed June, 08. You've found a fantastic site w/awesome women who will always be there to listen to you and offer advice. I'm still in that "denial" stage as to whether I truly have it, but I'm now accepting the fact I do.
Not many symptoms:
Ring of pearls/cysts
MAJOR PMDD
slight weight gain in tummy
Some hair loss-(just noticed this more thanks to DH yesterday)
very low progesterone levels
