I was diagnosed w/ PCOS when I was 16, I have never been over weight but always had and do have dark chin hairs that I have to pluck every couple days. I took spironlactone for 5 years and found it was not helping. I was put on metformin at age 21. I have not been trying to become pregnant but I had regular cycles until just recently, (now 25 yrs old) when I found out I was pregnant! I am now 5-7 weeks along and my HCG levels are going up. There is a 35% higher chance of miscarriage in PCOS, so think positive and try not to get stressed. I had been told for years I would not beable to conceive on my own, so there is a chance.
