Hi girls,
Just joined this site. There's lots of great information - Thank you fellow "cysters" . Reading about your experiences really helps. Have been very confused, lonely and scared since being diagnosed with PCOS.

Found out I had PCOS 3 months ago, though I had suspicions for the past 15yrs. Have never had regular periods - cycle length ranges from 3-8 months at a time, getting adult acne, losing hair on my head and growing it elsewhere!! Stopped the pill in Jan 2007 and since have had periods every 3-4 months. Weigh 55kg (height 151cm). On Metformin 3 times a day (850mg, 500mg, 850mg) since Apr 2008. Lost 3kg since then. Have not had AF in 2 months. Age 33 and am desperate for a baby!

Those of you with endometriosis - how were you diagnosed? what were your symptoms? I have had severe pain in my right pelvic region for months 2yrs ago. still get some pain, although not as bad. pain seems to radiate down my leg. Also severe right pelvic pain (2yrs ago) when passing bowel motion / urinating. Has anyone experienced this?? Had a vaginal u/sound done but all was normal. I don't think my GP understood what was going on or what to look for. Got a referral for an Ob/Gyne this yr and was diagnosed with PCOS.

Trying to stick to a low GI diet, megadosing with vitamins and increasing my exercise. Nothing seems to help. It's so confusing because I don't know whats happening with my body. Don't know when I ovulate (or whether I do!). Using Maybe Baby but am sick of seeing the "pebbles".

Sorry for rambling on, but I feel like no one else understands or cares. Thanks for listening guys.

& to all. :goodluck2:
