I think you might have missed my point. As a sever sufferer of pcos for 23+ years and several other laps ,i was also told how textbook a case I was. Every time they looked the dr's always found cysts,everywhere they aimed the lasar there were cysts. And for the first time they had a look and saw nothing. I have been on it all tried it all and taken just about any medicine that the dr. thought would help me at the time. So for me 4 periods in 4 months (something that has not happened to me since I was 15), no new weight gain in the last 4 months, and no cysts on my ovaries is just heaven. Even the growth rate of the hair on my arms and leggs has slowed down (I am shaving my legs much less often now) I also wanted to spread the word to other women who are ttc that met might be extremely helpful to them and to give them a little faith. I spent to many years hating myself and my body for not doing what it should be doing and the last 4 months being so excited about my body doing what it should be doing. My main goal was to pass along some good news to our cysters and hope that someday they will be as happy as I am
