Hi sarah, It's good that you are urging your sister to be tested. They have found that PCOS is hereditary for many of us. Your very lucky that you were diagnosed at a young age. I am 35 will be 36 this year and wasnt diagnosed till I was 34! I feel that I have lost MANY years of trying to have a baby because I didnt know what was wrong with me.Your boyfriend sounds like a nice guy!You should take his advice and not eat sweets.Being treated early in your reproductive years can greatly help with your chances of getting pregnant there are new treatments on the way and there learning more and more all the time about PCOS.Did your Endo discuss weather your insulin resistant or not? Did he talk to you about taking Glucophage along with your Diane35? These are good questions to bring up at your next vist. Good luck to you,Dona
