I have just found out about this website. I am 14 years old and have been on medication the begining of the summer. I have also been having irregular periods and the doctors say I should also be on "the pill". I am heavy myself. I am 14 and weigh 185 lbs. I am short, around 4'10", but you wouldnt really notice all the weight. I have a very short and petite stature(please dont mind the spelling). I take some kind of med. in the morning and at night. What I am scared of is that I dont know how long I will be on the medication. Everything is still new to me, even though I was found with PCOS at the age of 12. Maybe some information from you or your daughter might be some help for me.
