As you probably know now, periods are only a part of the PCOS puzzle. Your weight gain and facial hair are also indications that PCOS is rearing its ugly head. As it stands now, there is no cure. We are holding out hope that new research will bring us a cure but so far nothing has been approved by the FDA and our best hope is 2 - 5 years from approval.

You should see a dr who will take your PCOS seriously because you are at greater risk for diabetes, heart disease and cancer because of the PCOS. Your daughter is also at risk for PCOS because there seems to be a genetic link. Watch her carefully. Get a good endocrinologist for yourself so that if your child need one you already have the bad drs weeded out and she has the opportunity to see someone who is knowledgeable from the start.
