Pati -
It sounds like the first thing you need to do is find a doctor who is
compassionate and willing to listen. I know sometimes it seems hard but
there might be someone in your area on here who can recommend someone.
Then you need to have your doctor do an ultrasound and some blood tests
to confirm that you have PCOS - then help you figure out a plan for your
life. There are medications out there that can help. Hang in there -
you certainly aren't alone!!
