Hi!
Yes, you are blessed to not have some of the more outward symptoms. One
of my first symptoms of PCOS was weight gain but my weight gain was slow
at first. So, I WAS still pretty thin at the outset of my syndrome.
PCOS is a progressive syndrome - it usually gets worse with time. I
started showing symptoms when I was in my late teens - I am now 27 and a
few of my symptoms I have developed in the last year. I believe that no
two PCOS women are exactly the same hormonally. God bless, Tera
