I was told I had PCOS when I was 20....am 34 now.....and that I didn't have to worry about it, and he put me on the pill so that I would have periods. He also said I should lose weight, and though I have been on innumerable diets since then, I have steadily gained weight. So now I am starting to do LC.

Has anybody elso been able to lose wight on the pill? Everything I read says that it will slow or stop weight loss. So, I am already a little afraid of failure, once again. W/o the pill, no periods. I haven't been able to find anyone else with this situation, and my gyn says that unless I am wanting to get pregnant, there isn't any reason to put me on any of the other meds like Glucophage (?). And no, as a single woman, I am not looking to get pregnant, so I feel a little lost and alone.....anybody with ideas or experience to help?
