Growing Taller / Bustier with PCOS treatmentsFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 16 Jul 2002 13:33:55 -0500 (CDT)
I guess in most ways I am your typical PCOS sufferer. I started with the symptoms of PCOS when I was 11 years old, the year my periods started. Naturally, despite having all the symtpoms, I was not diagnosed with it until 1 1/2 years ago. I am now 35 years old (turning 36). Needless to say I was very ill by the time I was diagnosed. Cancer cells had begun in my uterus (now gone, the cells not the uterus) I had no energy, obesity, the skin problems, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, I was losing my hair on my head and growing it every where else; I had absent or excessive to constant menstration, lots of cysts, and not just on my ovaries, and I was/am definately infertile. So 1 1/2 years ago I started on metphormin with great success, but as I was so symptomatic it couldn't do it all, so I am also on dessicated thyroid and within the last 6 months I have started Diane-35. So here is the thing: Since starting Diane-35 I have been a growing girl. In the past five months I have grown over 1 inch in height (with growing pains through the night, like when I was 5 years old). My bust has gone from a barely there B cup to an overflowing DD (this I was warned about). Depsite this my weight has been on a steady slow delcine. Has anyone else had this growth effect? My theory; I stopped growing at 11 years of age when my periods started. They were abnormal from the outset and I claim it was due to PCOS since that age. I think PCOS stunted my growth due to it's effects on hormonal levels. So did my body stop then and now at 35 believes it finally can go through puberty the right way? and make me the size(s) I should have been? Just wondering.
