Relax, there are A LOT of us with PCOS (or PCOD). I had the same issues you are having, and I am 38 - been dealing with it since High school. Finally found out that other hormone levels were off, and once we got that in order with Rx, things are going well, and we are keeping out fingers crossed for this month/cycle. With my PCOS my prolactin levels were high, and progesterone low, understand the hair issues, weight gain was a big one, etc...(Actually they checked my thyroid several times). If you can get insurance through your college - some offer it to students, find a Dr. And I am sure if you can get to Yolanda Smith that Powers555 mentioned, they would run a blood panel on you, and help you get on track. It is definitely something that is controllable, and I have SEVERAL friends with it that have happy healthy children after being diagnosed.
Hi again
I did not realize that you are in Livonia.
If you are willing to travel to Ann Arbor (right near Briarwood Mall on State St- Briarwood building #1), you should check to see if your insurance will cover U of M doctors.
I highly recommend Yolanda Smith (she is my Reproductive Endocrinologist). She is on top of things and when one thing does not work she trys another asap.
She's the best!!!! :-) and all of the nurses there are wonderful :-)3

Hi :-)
You are in the right place!!! Yes, there are lots of people who become pregnant and have pcos. I have pcos along with Adult onset non-classical CAH so I have two things to work against. It's a long road to conceiving, but definately possible.
Don't borrow trouble by worrying. It won't solve your problems. You definately need to go see a doctor so you can regulate your periods even if it cost a little. Are you in school, working. Is there any way you can get insurance?
