Hi. Not everyone with PCOS has all or the same symptoms. I had irreg periods when I was 12. Was diagnosed at 16 and that was my only problem. At 18 I started having reg periods on my own. I then got preg at 20 and had my baby at 21. That's when all the symptoms came. I gained 30 lbs in 3 months. I grew hair on my face, lot and lots of skin tags on my neck. And of course the weight gain is from the IR. It's hard to believe 5 years ago I weighed 70 lbs less and had no symptoms of PCOS. Hope this helps, Katherine
