Dear Amanda:
I suggest that you see an endocrinologist and get a
copy of Colette Harris' PCOS Dietbook. AS you are
still very young, maybe you would be able to control
the PCOS symptoms through lifestyle changes alone.
Make the medication as a last resort for you.
I hope this helps. Do not despair. You are in a much
better position now as compared to some us at your age
many, many years back due to research and forums such
as this.
I hope this helps,,,
