PCOS 23

HI, im 23 and at this point wiegh 405 pounds. I am diabetic as you probably can guess by the wieght. The problem is I exercise and eat a decent diet. Due to the diabetes I have to allow myself some sugar or I get very ill. What do I do metformin didnt work for me. I want to lose the wieght because I would like to have a child...

My other symptoms are

I either have no period and then then when i get one 1 to 2 months later I am basically bed ridden from the pain. When i do get them regulary I have migraines and severe cramps, bloating, extreme swelling of feet ect. Sometimes the bleeding will last more then a week. I have had one as long as a month... any advice

Ask your Doctor about endometriosis, I am 23 and have both PCOS and endometrisis, my periods are irregular and I have chronic pain and major mood swings, and can't hardly move due to the pain and at times my period has lasted up to 7 weeks.

Hi first thing is you have to get some of the weight off it will help alot with your periods and long with everything else.  I have pcos and over weight but the weight is dropping off cause I am staying consistant.  Things will take time.  Do you take something for the migraines?  I am also trying to concieve you just have to be patient.
