    Hi my name is Sara Im also very short 4"10. I was just wondering if any one that is short with PCOS started puberty early? This is kind of hard for me to share but her I go. When I was in first grade I started to grow boobs and arm pit hair. I was 10 yrs old when I had my first menstrual cycle and by then I had full size boobs. And have always had dig ones and for my llittle fram it's been really hard . I'm 25 lbs over weight and have had such a hard time with facial hair seens I was 17 yrs old. The doctor put me on metformin about a year ago and it made my heart race and I felt really sick on that so I quit that. I'm 36 yrs old and I have a pretty face but if only the hair on my face would be gone with out having to shave or get on meds with all these side effects. I'm sorry to sound so up set about this but now it is even effecting my voice so people ask why my voice is so deep. And when I shave it leaves a shadow and my kids are still little so when there friends come over to stay the night they see the hair on my face because that is how fast it grows. So it is getting so embarrassing so I had to get some of this off my chest. I just need to know if this might have to do with my size or the fact that I have meet a migrate with some of the same problems seens she was young. The other reason I was asking about this is to find out if there has been any studys about PCOS and short women? I'm going to the doc. Next mounth to talk to talk about this all so . Who ever started this site thank you so much because it is at least nice to find out that there are others like me out there and that I m not alone on this. If any one has in info on this if you coule please share it would b3 so helpful nice to meet you all.

    Every lost one of you feel free to add me and THANK YOU to the OP... I thought I was the only one out there strugggling with this! I'm 5'5", so I'm not actually short, but I have struggled with PCOS since I was 18. I have state insurance so I'm limited to what drs I can see, but mine told me the only way to fix it was birthcontrol pills, tripling my doseage everyday until I was sick, bloated, gaining weight and forming stomach ulcers. I have no idea there was other medicine out there to help this! So happy to see this, now I can really start fighting for me! I lost 25 lbs last year but fell back into old habits, working on getting it down again, so happy to see other people with the same struggles!

    Sarah, I didn't start in first grade, but about 4th grade I started getting hairy and wearing deodorant. I got my period in the last month of 5th grade. I got my first facial hair in 7th grade. Thank god I pretty much only had one or two going though middle school/high school. I have a few more now, not as bad as a few other people I know with PCOS, but I still use an Epilator morning and evening. Someday, electrolysis.
