I have had the symptoms all my life. Anyways, I was getting really bad (depressed, hated myself, Hair everywhere, hair started falling out of my scalp, weight gain, etc.) I am sure you know about all this. Anyways, I tried Metformin, didn't help at all. Now I have been on a BC called Yasmin. It is great! I think that you would really benefit from it. It doesn't make you moody, bloaty, or have painful periods. Anyways, I have been on it for about 6 months and have no hair on the abnormal spots (face, chest, neck, breats) and I have had my period every month. I have even lost a little weight. I feel a lot better about myself and life now. Please ask your doctor about it. It is a fairly new BC and a lot of women with PCOS have benefited from it. I am living proof. Good luck Chereal
