Hi Katie, I have had pcos since I was a teen but never treated it. I am now 29 and have heard a lot of good things about a drug called "Metformin". You should look it up. I have had a lot of problems with cysts too. Birth control helps but I really think you may also need Metformin. I have just recently started to take it, but it is helping with my weight and is suposse to restore my periods, and fertility.

anyway I just wanted you to be able to look it up.

good luck!

Sincerly, Marna
