Helloooo! Well i'm new to the site but i was first diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 14!!!! I'm currently on Zovia (birth control pill) but i dont' think its working.. after almost five years.. my hormone levels have only improved "a bit" My doctor keeps saying i need to lose weight.. and no matter how hard i try.. i can't!!! I was watching mystery diagnosis on discovery health and saw the episode dealing with PCOS and was wondering if any of you are taking any other sort of medications to help with the condition.... although i'm still young one of my main worries is infertility.. along with diabetes and high blood pressure. blaaaaaaaaaaahhhh i always ask myself how this happened to me :[
Welcome Leslvare to SC. I think I seen that episode of Mystery Diagnosis. LOL. I was taking metaformin. It is a Diabetic pill which is used for PCOS too.

Welcome to SC... it's great to have you here! i do not know about the bcp that you are on because i haven't been on bcp for a few years... sorry, i can't help there but i can offer advice and a shoulder to lean on.

well, the only reason i'm taking the bcp is for the hormonal imbalance.. everything else as far as insulin and what not is "stabalized". anddd even though i am taking the bcp my periods still seem to be fairly light throughout the entire four days i do get. is that normal?? i'll usually only have one "heavy" day...
i think i need to see a specialist.. because like i said.. all my doctor tells me is... "you need to lose weight."
I have light periods too for 7 days, my RE told me that maybe because im having it every month but she is still checking on my estrogen level and will get back to me next month, she said something that it could be that although im getting my period every month, i might not be O'ing, so she is giving me clomid to stimulate my ovaries... hope it works! Pray for me! Happy Weekend Everyone!
well i know my estrogen levels aren't as stable.. to be honest.. i don't remember the doctor really explaining what was wrong with me.. other then what i need to do to take care of it hahahaha. they draw blood every 4 months to see the levels of my hormones.. they check how my throid gland is.. aaaaaand thats about it.
does anyone know of a specialist in the los angeles area??
newwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 
ive got all the meds in my siggie, which do seem to help.
