MY doctor diagnosed me with PCOS just by me not having regular periods by
the time I was 16. This si the only problem I had until after I had my first
child. Then came the weight, the hair, etc. I don't have endo though. I was
on clomid for 2 months when I got preg for my 2nd child. We tried for 3
years w/o clomid. You don't ovulate with PCOS. But, the most stressful part
of PCOS is infertility. I'm 26 and I not having anymore. Although, if I
could lose my extra weight I think I could get preg on my own. I was 20lbs
overweight when I was 18 yrs old. I lost 20lbs and started have regular
periods, and got preg accidentally. Not all hope is lost. Good Luck!!
