-- I was diganosed with polycystic ovarian disease and have had it most of my life, I did become pregnant 3 times but I did miscarry all 3. I have significant weight gain, acne, wiskers on my chin and face, mood swings, and hot flashes, my doctor recently also put me on Tri-Cyclen, which I tried to take but they gave me extreme nausia, and I was extremely tired all the time. So when I did stop taking them, I had a really severe menses, is there any answers to why people have this and is there any way of making this go away for good? I'm 31 and I am fearing that I may never be able to carry a normal pregnancy or be able to ever feel better again. Can you tell me something different than what my doctor has already told me?
