I`m 28. I`m pretty sure I have PCOS. It is so frustrating. I eat a
better diet than 99% of the people I know, I exercise 45 minutes per
day, plus light weight training and cannot lose any weight. I am going
to my OB today to ask to be put on Glucophage to see if it can help me.
I don`t want to be fat for the rest of my life. I do not seem to have
any of the fertility problems associated with PCOS- but I think that is
because I started young. I was married at 21 and had my first at 22. My
fourth at 27. I am still breastfeeding, but don`t think that it should
matter with the glucophage.
Frustrated in MO.

My husband and I want to have a baby soon, but I hate for anyone to see me like I am now. It's hard for me because I have always been outgoing and busy, now I want to hide from the world. My family says they miss the old me. I wish I could be her again.
