Hello: This is my first time writting a messege, but I have really enjoyed reading messeges from someone who is going through the same thing as me. >From what I understand PCOS can be genetic. I myself got it from my
dad. A friend of mine also has PCOS and we made comparisons with some questions her doctor asked her. One of the questions is did your dad bald at an early age and also was he born to a woman (your grandmother) at a later than normal age for having children. Both of our dads balded in their twenties and both of our dads were the youngest - my grandma was in her forties when she had my dad. Also there is a large amount of diabetes and heart disease in both of our families. Does anyone else have these common family histories? Also does anyone have any suggestions for a newly diagnosed PCOS gal? Info wise. It feels great to finally know why I haven't felt 100% in at least 6 years.
