I know that PCOS=Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, but how do you know if you have it? Is it common?

For weight loss and help with PCOS, what would you suggest for

Fat
Cals
Carbs

Thank you!

Just wondered because i’ve just found out that i’ve got PCOS
I haven’t had a period since i came off the pill in January. My testosterone level was 5.6 but for someone without PCOS it should only be around 2. The doctor seemed to think that my level was high even for someone with PCOS

I was diagnosed with PCOS in July of 2008. July 13, 2008 I found out I was pregnant for the first time. My daughter is now 7 months old. In am wondering if anyone knows the likelyhood of me getting pregnant again without taking any medicine? Also I am wondering how many people have PCOS and can share their pregnancy stories with me?

I was diagnosed with pcos in 2005 and I have been trying to conceive but it is really hard when I rarely get my period. Are there any success stories out there??
I have been on metformin for about a year now and i just recently visited a fertility specialist last wed, who put me on provera to induce my period and hopefully i will be taking clomid soon.

Evidence I have PCOS is that I have facial hair and I tend to go for more sugary snacks. I have read so many stories of PCOS, but none of them provide any help for home remedies.
Any help please?

I have just been diagnosed with PCOS.

I’m 26.

I am THIN and NOT insulin resistant.

I have high level of Testosterone – unknown cause.

What are my chances of getting pregnant?

I’m so scared!
Thanks.

Do you have any success stories for women with non IR PCOS who aren’t overweight?

i usually start them on sunday im not sure what the diffrence is i beleive that the day 1 start means that you are protected from pregnancy right away, but i am not using it for birth control purposes, i am using it for pcos symptoms such as acne, excsessive hair growth,irregular period. you know all that fun stuff. lol. thanks

Because I think that i may have pcos. And I was wondering since i know insurance doesn’t typically cover electrolysis unless it’s an illness or something like that.

and pcos is like a disease i guess (so i’ve heard). So, would it be covered by insurance or is it still considered cosmetic?

I just found out I am pregnat (5 weeks). I have PCOS but it is managed by glucophage. What are the chances of miscarriage?
