I was unsure if I should reply or not but here goes. I went to dr.'s and gyn's for years over weight gain, no periods, hairloss, extra hair where I as a woman shouldn't get it and I kept getting the run around.
After a few year I ran into an old friends who had always been quite heavy and was very noticeably thinner. We got together a few times and she brought pcos up to me. Told me that had to do with her new thinner state and she felt we had similar symptoms. I made an appointment with her dr and low and behold pcos!!!!!!! I did take meds for a while, did the suggested lc dieting. Even without the meds(stopped after a whiledue to loss of ins.) as I lost weight I got periods. Now they are regular. DR explained to me more body fat = more estrogen=more out of wack!
Oh, on to my friend! She had had infertility issues for about 18 months( thats what lead to the pcos diagnosis). After losing some of that weight and some metformin she got pregnant with a beautiful little boy!

Tripletmom, I just love your pic, especially the horns!
