Hi Fordk....

I cried the entire day I got diagnosed...and not even because I had a grasp of it all. That was a year ago and I had gone undiagnosed for over 20 years. The best advice I can tell you is to read and RESEARCH for youself. And just because a doctor tells you something...ALWAYS question it. Learn for yourself... Be your own advocate!

My doctor (3 hours away) refused to take a follow up phone call to answer some of questions, so I never saw her again. (She did several other odd things too!) Always demand the best care. If you are EVER treated the way I was...keep looking for a good doctor.

Here's the best site I found for PCOS...
http://www.soulcysters.net
I was on it every day, reading what others were dealing with, asking questions or helping others. I was put on Metformin and it made me sick, sick, sick. I have other health issues so I have ended up heading in a natural direction - all fake meds have bad side effects... Natural therapies are safe! I haven't been back to that site in quite a while..but when I have a question, it's the first place I run to!

On a FANTASIC note...check out this link...Iodine is a way for a cure! It dissovles ovarian cysts! You have to take a few other supps to help it though. My Naturopathic doc had me on it and I had NO CLUE it's benefits until I peeked inside the Iodine Supplementation Forum...

You are not alone...there are THOUSANDS of people with PCOS and it's totally manageable. It's not fun but YOU have to find your own perfect treatment plan. What works for me, may not work for you...etc. I have insulin resistance and the only way I can lose weight is to cut out Sugar and yeast.

Post back with any questions...I'd love to hear the specifics of your situation and diagnosis.

I can't have children thanks to this crap. But I assure you...loads of women can.

Chin up cyster... :)
