You are not alone many of women have the disease and they are never properly diagnosed. I just want to offer you some encouragment, you need to find a doctor number one that knows about the disease and can help treat it so that it does not get out of hand. When you are ready to have kids you have all the information that you need at hand and I am pretty sure you will be fine as far as beautiful babies in the future. I was told the same thing and had been trying for seven years and just found out that I am pregnant with the use of a drug called metformin to lower blood sugars levels in women with pco's.TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT IT CAN BE DONE!! >
