Just did all the ultrasound and have been diagnosed with PCOS by my doctor, my next step is the gyno for my first meeting with him.... I am scared confused and in some discomfort. I missed my period for 4 months than I had one for a few days due again soon and not sure weather to expect it or not. I thought I was going crazy lol Or that I was born with too much male in me but now being "obese" seems to be the big issue with this disease. I had always tried to lose weight for about the last 3 years and can't I start to put it on at 16 than took a pile off than of course back on.... I am now over 200 lbs trying to lose and losing faith. I assume the gyno specialist will have a lot more insight than my doctor (who I think is going to be useless for this LOOKING FOR GOOD DOCTOR IN TORONTO TOO). Id don’t know what to say about the child thing Sometimes I want one sometimes I don't (I have a 16 yr old stepdaughter) SO I am at the starting gate of PCOS. I pretty much diagnosed myself after many minor ailments (water storage, weight, hair issues) and brought it t his attention so he tested for it. I go to the gyno on ay 30th what will they do? Where will I go from here? I am scared. But also so relieved to have a name for my condition I had said to my mom I didn’t care if I had the plague JUST TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG...now I know and I am not sure how to deal with it or what to expect. I am 26 my hubby is 41. Thanks for listening if nothing

I know exactly what you are going through. I too was just recently diagnosed after several wonderful drs kept insisting that I was just plain crazy! Have started glucophage-too early to tell if it will help, but am not having any of the horrible side affects There is quite an age difference between myself and my husband and I too have a step daughter that is quite a bit older - 13. I don't really know what to say except hang in there-you've gotten past the ifirst step-finally having someone take you seriously!
