I have PCOS and your symptoms sound the same as mine apart from I don't have
excess hair. I have the weight problem instead. I'd rather be hairy than
fat!
I see a homeopath who got my periods up and running and as a result have a
13 week old baby!
I'm hoping to see my GP next week re metformin which seems to be the in
thing at the moment. I doubt I'll be successful as my GP is useless.
