Well now you do have me laughing....Thats why im a BITCH (at times)...its that male hormone...Yes I am aware that their is more to having PCOS then just being overweight. It does answer a few of my lifelong questions...Why did it take so to become pregant...Why do I need to wax monthly...But after loosing my Mother to the dreeded C......It does worry me.

The Web links and information found via Americian sites is very educaitonal....But I would like some information found locally in Australia....Does anyone know of any good reliable Aussie Health sites?????
