What Happens Next??From: Jess (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 22 Apr 2002 17:54:48 -0500 (CDT)
Hi Everyone! I am a 23 y/o female who hasn't had a regular cycle in 2 years. I have finally gotten health insurance to get treatment. Anyways, before I finally got some blood work done, I had talked to a few Dr's, told what was going on, and all but one said that it sounded like I have PCOS, so I did alot of research and based on what I found, I am like a textbook example! Massive weight gain, extra hair, loosing hair on my head, adult acne, etc... I had my thyroid check, normal, glucose 2 hr fasting, result was 195 after I ate. Didn't get the result before I ate and my testoterone was available either. So, my OB thought it was more important to treat the high glucose before the PCOS... so, I called my normal dr, where my ob had faxed my results, and he suggested that I come in and talk about treatment options. I know I need and want to loose weight for obvious health reasons, and I want to have children in the near future (next 1-2 yrs)... So, how does my future look? I know all people react different to medications, I have read about Met. and it seems to help from what everyone else says, so should I suggest that to my Dr? I have tried the Atkins diet, lost 7lbs in a week, but was sick of eggs and meat by the end of it too.. plus I felt like all that meat (I did eat alot of salad too) was not good for my heart... Thanks for all the help!!
