i hope that you get this reply. I am 32 years old and have just been
told that I have PCOS! I too have put on a lot of weight in the last
year and the facial hair is such a problem. I have been to see so many
doctors and they were unable to tell me what was wrong until last week
when the finally ordered an internal ultasound. Now I am waiting until
my next appt with an endocrinologist to find out how they are going to
treat me.. My husband and I have been trying to conceive and of course
it isn't working. I would love to hear from you to see how you are
doing and maybe we could share info with each other. i look forward to
hearing from you! i will keep you in my prayers!
