Hi all. I'm 22 and from the UK, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was about 14 after to trip to doctor to find out WHY I HAD SIDEBURNS. PCOS just sucks doesn't it? Don't you just love all that excess hair and the easy weight gain. Send me a request and we can go on this MFP journey together :)
Cyst Pain & Treatment
Hey ladies! I was diagnosed with PCOS in the spring but have been struggling with it for several years now and just didn’t know what was wrong.

HELP!
