Thank you girls for all your help. You have answered so many of my concerns. I truly hope that PCOS is not what I have, but then again it would explain so much. I have been on sites like this before and so far this is the best. I know that this should not replace a Dr. oppinion, but you girls seem to know more than he ever did. I only hope my new Dr. is as informative as you. I wish all of you good luck and thanks again for all of the info.
