Unhappy HELP-Just learning about PCOS and might have it.
I saw something in my mag about pcos and I was just doing some research and I have some of the symptoms, kinda hairy, bouts of irregular periods at times, never used birth control---never been pregnant. Can someone enlighten me on the subject and tell me your experiences with this condition?

Get to the doctor now!

PCOS is not just the infertility/hairiness thing. It can lead to diabetes, heart problems etc etc. I was diagnosed with PCOS 20 years ago and there are much more treatments available these days, still no cure tho <sigh>. There are also loads of PCOS support websites around. PM me if you would like more info hon.
