My biggest problem with PCOS was infertility...and of course, what was my Dr.'s advise? Loose some weight! Ugg...but it worked. Now that I'm not trying to get pregnant, my cycle is still my main concern. In the past I have had periods that have lasted for 90+ days with a super-super heavy flow. Now every time I get a period I count down the days to make sure that doesn't happen again. I don't currently have insurance, I go to a free clinic for my meds. They won't put me on BC until I get a pap-smear...but none of the Dr.s will actually DO a pap-smear! SO FRUSTERATING!! So now I'm on pins & needles every month when that time rolls around. Is my period going to behave and go away after 5 days? Is my period going to stick around for 3 months? Am I going to get a period at ALL? And then the cramps...OMG, the cramps. My last period the cramps where so bad I couldn't walk...but sitting still was agony! I know (at least for me) that means I probably have a pretty good sized cyst...and that USUALLY leads to one of those marathon periods that I dread! I know birth controle would solve these problems but...no, I have to have a pap-smear first that NOBODY is willing to give me! AARRGG!! Sorry, for the rant...I got carried away!
