Hey feel free to add me if you need support. I was diagnosed back in 2010, and at that point i had lost alot of weight and was healthy... my periods were "normal" again. I have since let myself go gotten too comfortable and gained all the weight back... I am focusing on losing weight again so my husband and i can have a baby i also take metformin. Best of luck to you.

There is so much good information here on all of the things you addressed above.

My story is similar but kind of flipped. My periods were so heavy, I would miss school. I was put on birth control to control them. I had uterine cysts very severely years after my only successful pregnancy, and my PCOS was confirmed then, but I was never told or treated for it. Had I been, the intervening years would have been so different!!!

Another thread on here says that Vitex is great with balancing hormones and helping to restore fertility. There are a huge number of options, Inositol, and some other things that can help too. If you have specific questions, there are some very knowledgeable ladies on here who have learned so much through their own struggles. My own troubles are on parallel but different paths, so I can't help fully...but supplementation, knowing your body and your levels, finding a doctor who will listen and is knowledgeable about this specifically, finding like minded friends to help support you through the insanity of this journey, that is what will get you through!

Good luck, AND WELCOME!

Good luck! As some other ladies have personally found, as far as balancing hormones and increasing fertility, that Vitex is supposedly great... Might bring it up at your next conversation with your doctor. The ladies here all have great advice for different things to tweak and try! Congrats on your marriage.
