Actually, I was the same way for many years, until I realized that carrying a purse brings certain privacy priviledges that carrying a backpack doesn't. In stores in many places downtown, they make you check your backpack (which I was using to carry my wallet, asthma inhaler, etc.).

I should add that I would always carry a purse when I was visiting family in my home state (in the Southeast) because I didn't want to draw attention to myself. Once, just after arriving home from such a trip, I brought a purse to the stores where they make you check your bags, and they let me keep my purse!

Anyway, I decided the embarassment of carrying a purse was worth the ability to carry my bag with me at all times, and haven't looked back since. But it may also have helped that I was on the pill at the time, and thus, felt more "girly." I just hadn't connected it to PCOS at the time. Now, it totally makes sense.

I'm 35, and believe me, wish I were 24 and getting treatment. But anyway, congrats on the changes! I know exactly what you're talking about!
