Susan, I am only 24, but I have noticed these symptoms almost ever since I got my first AF at 9. It is a constant struggle to keep my weight down and I am NEVER without my trusty tweezers, but thankfully, Met is doing wonders for me. Hopefully, I realized I had PCOS before it had a chance to get really bad and I hope that everything I am doing now - with meds, weight control, etc - won't let it "catch up" with me in later years. -Arlene
