For my family, everyone is skinny and cute and I am the fat one. My mother is the same way when she was growing up. Everyone in her family were skinny and no matter what she would do, she would remain fat. When I was talking to My Endo she thought that my mother might have PCOS. She has been overweight, has had misscarraiges (but had three beautiful girls, me included). Though she has had normal periods and no major facial hair (just a few stray hairs in her chin and upper lip). But my endo thought maybe she had a mild version and passed on to me in a larger version. She still hasn't done an ultra sound on my ovaries to see if I have cysts. She is haveing me go off Depo and see how my cycles are and do a few more tests and an ultrasound when my periods come back. It would be interesting if it had something to do with stress. I have had enough of it to cause some major problems. I am actually surprised with how difficult my life has been that I haven't gone into depression but lately my blood pressure is getting high which isn't good. Now that I'm on met and vaniqa, I'll see if it helps and try not to stress as much.
