Hey Robin, I'm sure you know the answers to your questions already,
since now it is July of 2003. You are luck that you have not had those
side affects. Continue doing whatever you are doing and really try to
lose weight. If you dont' have the hairgrowth/loss, acne... and such,
you most likely won't have them for the rest of your life. Just make
sure not to gain anymore weight and take metformin (that's the best
medication out there for pcos). Good Luck! By the way for more info
