I have only learned about PCOS from watching you tube. I had never heard of it before this year. Is it very common?

[katiejuly]

I think it's something that's often undiagnosed because it's more a cluster of symptoms than something that has a blood test or some other way to definitively test for it. Sigh.

I have Pcos and I weigh About 290. How hard was it for you to loose the Weight With the surgery and the Hormone Imbalance? I am Scared That I will do this Surgery and Wont Loose any weight With The Pcos.

the University of chicago has a pcos research center you should send them this video and everyone's comments.

Thanks for posting this;i have'nt had my surgery yet but fertility was one of the big reasons for having it and i am glad to know what to expect now

Thank you so much for posting this. Here I thought I was the only one throwing a party every time I got a period, lol! Provera works like a charm for forcing Aunt Flo to visit - though maybe you're body is still adjusting to the effects of your weight loss and it will all even out in time? *Hopefully?* :)

you can have an ultrasound done to see if part of the reason of the lack of periods is due to a blockage- that is another symptom of pcos. and yep- pcos sucks.

i'm sorry your pcos is here to stay. thanks for sharing that information...i had no idea about the skin. i had that too but it has since gone away for me as well. :D

Katie, I too have PCOS and had hoped that as soon as I had surgery my periods would return and all would be cured. I was wrong as well! Having a baby was in my top reasons for having the surgery and I worry alot that my PCOS is so severe that I will not able to get pregnant. Thanks for posting about this topic. It is always good to hear how others are dealing with the same issues.
