Not all PCOS women gain weight. We come in at least
5 types of presentations. There are "thincysters."
Not all PCOS people get cyst-y either. I can't speak to that because mine are few and far between. But I am glad you got it checked out and found out why this is going on for you. I hope you start to feel better!
Check out the BCP article.

Some BCP can aggravate androgens and insulin resistance in some -- esp if you are that type presentation of PCOS. Some people gain a bit and some do not gain at all on BCP -- people are different. I don't think I ever gained anything much on BCP.
Explore the rest of the forum. Hang in there with it -- a PCOS dx can feel overwhelming but neither does it have to be the end of the world. It will be ok and there's lots of support around here.
