I was sitting here thinking the same thing! I am reading all these posts and getting down and they didn't even happen to me! No, my life has not been perfect but I am not going to sit around and let a@%es control my feelings and emotions. I have enough going on in my life to worry about what others say. Granted, I have not…

Hi Chelsea, I am Heather - added you as a friend earlier. I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago but had NO IDEA what it meant until recently. My doctor didn't really explain to me the impact it could and would have on my life. After reading many posts from different people on MFP, I have realized that my symptoms are…

I just friended you. I really had no idea what this diagnosis meant until about a month ago! My doctor really didn't explain a lot other than I would be placed on metformin. Which I only took for about a month and then stopped - had no clue what/why the results could be. I started back on metformin in December and I am…

@VanillaMilkky - have you seen a GYN about it? I had never heard of it until I went to him for an exam after I hadn't been in several years. When he started asking me questions, and answering yes to almost everything, he ordered an ultrasound. Find a good GYN and take that route. Just an idea ;)

No, I have 3 children and had the ablision (not sure if correct way to spell it) surgery in March 2012. I tried Metformin for a while and so no change. However, I think I am going to try it again along with a low GI/low carb change. I was told when I was pregnant with my first child that there I had fibroid cysts but "they…

WOW! I am just going to say...WOW! You look great! You are an inspiration to me! I am looking for some good receipes to try...got any ideas?
