Hey,Shanda

I'm 20 and i've been having symptoms since i was 11,when i started my periods. like you, i have the hair on my face and throat area.but i also have it on my chest. and since the age of 11 i've been having to shave like every other day to keep myself up. the metformin helps some.but anyways, i just wanted to tell you thank you so much for making this video.i feel so alone with this condition because my family dont understand and i havent told any of my friends...

No reason to be scared. I have PCOS and it took some nerve for me to eventually go to the doctor to be tested because I was so scared, but when I finally went and got the knowledge I needed, I felt a lot better because I now know it is treatable (but no cure). Besides, waiting to go to the doctor can cause even more issues. Best advice...make an appointment with your GYN as soon as possible. You will do just fine. :)

I am 22 and have PCOS (diagnosed at age 15). It runs deeply in my family (i.e. my mother, cousins). The longest I have missed a period was 2 yrs :( mood swings are crazy and losing weight is very difficult.

Hi Shanda, I have PCOS, it actually went full blown after I gave birth to my son who is now 4, I have cyst on my ovaries, high blood pressure, hair on my face and alot of fat around my waist, weight loss has been hard for me due to cravings but I will try chiral balance to see if it helps with hormones as well as exercise..
