			<description><![CDATA[ I have PCOS. Definitely NOT overweight. My periods are irregular, heavy, extremely painful but short. I have moderate acne and some extra facial hair where
there shouldn&#39;t be! By my gynecologist just started me on BC so we&#39;ll see if it helps with the symptoms. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m pretty sure I have it. Mine really isn&#39;t severe though. I have irregular periods. There&#39;s no rhyme or reason to when they come. My last one was
at the end of April, so that&#39;s like 50 something days. I never know when mine is coming.
<br>
<br>
My doctor told me i probably have it, but I need to go back for bloodwork. I&#39;m putting it off for a while. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have PCOS, went for years with resistant moderate acne, some chin hair, and weight on my belly that would not go away no matter what. The repro endo I went
to did a fasting glucose and I am very very insulin resistant, I had four times the correct amount of insulin. I follow the insulin resistant diet most of the
week, take metphormin 1500 a day (three times a day with meals) and spironolactone for the acne and facial hair. My skin went from splotchy to PERFECT and
clear. I lost 6 inches... ]]></description>

<br>
Went to my doctor (internal medicine) for my yearly check up... they called about a week later telling me test results came back with me having PCOS. I had no
clue what that was... all the nurse told me was that I should be very worried and that I may not be able to ever have kids. That scared the heck out of me. The
doctor then ordered me to have an ultrasound to check out the cysts on my... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I am- and I&#39;m working on it- I work out 3+ time a week (and also play Ice Hockey and Tennis) and PCOS just makes it harder to lose the weight and most of
my weight is around the mid section but for me it&#39;s 20-25 lbs overweight (if anything more than that it wouldn&#39;t look good)
<br>
<br>
BUT not everyone with PCOS is overweight or have weight problems To help lose the weight it&#39;s more a insulin resistance diet that is the most effective for
PCOS ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I went to an endocrinologist too and supposedly all the tests came back normal, but IDK. I don&#39;t feel convinced.
<br>
<br>
I always suspected I had it due to my persistent acne and how hairy I am. It&#39;s probably not as noticeable to people, but I&#39;m a slave to plucking.
<br>
<br>
My cramps used to be more intense and my period was heavier, but after going on BC for a while (I&#39;m now off it) its currently normal. ]]></description>

they have eased off a bit. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I had a cousin that was diagnosed with it. I&#39;d looked up my symptoms on WebMD before that, and matched with PCOS, but just figured that it was just me
being a hypochondriac. But after she was diagnosed, I finally went and asked my PCP for a referral to a gyno, and was diagnosed with PCOS after some blood
tests. Pissed me off, though, because I&#39;d just spent thousands of dollars on a 6-month regime of Accutane for my acne, which was a waste of money. Went on
birth control after being... ]]></description>

in 1999 &amp; I went from weighing 140 lbs to 200 in a matter of six months &amp; couldn&#39;t explain why I gained so much so fast when I wasn&#39;t doing

			<description><![CDATA[ I first saw an endriconolgist at the suggestion of my regular doctor upon learning of previous underactive thyroid history and the fact that I
didn&#39;t/wasn&#39;t getting my period. He determined after tests that it was just that, an underactive thyroid and prescribed me birth control to straighten
out my period. Apparently he told my regular doctor that it was PCOS and I didn&#39;t find out until over a year later that the endriconolgist had even thought
it was PCOS, let alone diagnosed me... ]]></description>
