Jessica honey call your local hospital and see if they can recommend an
endocronologist that treats PCOS. I'm 27 and got diagnosed last August.
Thankfully a friend of mine had a daughter going through a lot of the same
things I was. My period would last 20-28 days. There are meds out there to
help alleviate your symptoms. There is no cure for this illness
unfortunately. And not everyone who has it is infertile. I hope you find a
good dr. Where do you live and maybe I can help find you a dr.? contact me
anytime @ rumnigurl28@hotmail.com. Everyone of my aunts and cousins on my
mom's father's side of the family has this and they live all over the
country. We'll help you in anyway we can. God Bless and Good Luck.
