Yes the earlier you start is better, however there are natural ways of fighting PCOS without the hormones and medicines. Make sure you research all of your options before you automatically start putting medicines and hormones in your body. There are many woman with happy ending stories that have used natural alternatives such as changes in diet to regulate the insulin levels, taking herbal supplements and vitamins that balance the hormonal level see the PCOS support site for natural ways.
