Anyone ever had PCOS?

[dotgirl]

polycystic ovary syndrome? What were some of your signs before you were diagnosed?

I was... my biggest symptom was ... irregular periods. Which in turn was causing me to not ovulate.

wanted to add... when I started Charting ... there was no clear thermal shift and after about 11 months and some urging from a ttc board I finally went to the dr.

I had PCOS. I had irregular periods, weight gain or hard time losing weight, and abnormal hair growth.

yeah I didnt think of the weight thing... they put me on Metformin first then clomid... I am back on the met.... but obviously NOT to get pregnant

I have it and one of my most obvious symptoms is irregular periods too.

I haven't personally had it, but I know some of the signs. High blood pressure, obesity or being overweight, pelvic pain, etc.

I have pcos, and my main symptoms was weight gain, irregular periods, abnormal hair growth on the face, and drastic hair loss, everytime i wash, brush or touch my hair it falls out in masses, like a carpet of hair in your hands or on the brush yuck! while there is no cure for it, the doctors can help with getting pregnant.

I had a period either every three weeks or every five weeks depending on if I ovulated that month. I had hair loss, loss of sex drive, weight gain, fatigue and more. I charted for a while before i went to the dr but he did an ultrasound and some blood work and I have it.

I was just recently diagnosed last week. But some of my symptoms are what the other girls have mentioned. I have very irregular periods, honestly I dont have a period unless I take Provera to induce my period. I also had weight gain. I'm now on metformin and femara cycle days 3-7. Today is cycle day 5.

I had PCOS. I had irregular periods, weight gain and a hard time losing weight. Gained an extra 30 lbs. They were going to put me on Clomid, but I was ovulating. So they put me on Metformin... 3 months later I was prego! They said when I want to get prego again just tell them and they will put me on it again!
