Pregnancy Info HOME

I was diagnosed with pcos about 6 months ago, but I have had symptoms for 5 years or so. It all started when i would go ten months to a year with no period and once i would bleed, i would bleed for 3 months with heavy flow. I went to many doctors that said my issues were due to my weight problams. Because I was not sexually active most doctors would not do pelvic exams. I went on like this for many painful years. April 2006 I was married and moved to a new city. I happened to go to a male doctor (for the first time) and once I told him my problems he siad he was almost positive it was due to pcos. After many blood tests he conformed it was. I am now on progesterone 200mg troche as well as metformin 500mg 3 times a day. It only took about 1 month to stop the heavy bleeding and my periods are almost regular (with some spotting). In the last year or so I have noticed tag moles on my neck and arm pit area. I have heard that pcos can cause this but i have no idea why. My husband and I are now ready to start a family, but no luck yet. Some good news is that I have lost 20+ lbs.
