Hello. My name is Tammy and I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 weeks ago, after
going off of the birth control pill. The Dr. put me back on yasmin 28, to
help control the PCOS. This is a birth control pill. I have been very lucky
to have 3 children. Ages 14, 10, and 20 months. However, having the PCOS has
changed my life, and caused me so much depression. I suffer from a lot of
hair thinning and loss. I am grateful to hear from so many with their
support and encouragement. I hope you have good luck. Tammy
