Hi,

I am 22 and also was just diagnosed. My periods were always normal but just a little bit far apart until suddenly a few months ago I had 3 periods in one month as well! The doctor found cysts and quickly diagnosed me but didn't do any blood work or other tests. In fact, I'm wondering if I even have the syndrome because I haven't had any problems with weight gain, body hair, or anything. Is it possible it could be something else? What is Metformin supposed to do--should I get a serious treatment rather than just the low-dose birth control I'm on????

Thanks,

-- Natalie
