Thanks Peteswife! I am also taking metformin 1000mg a day but thought it was for weight reduction...so it also helps to cure Pcos?
Much appreciated!

Hi girls..
I was told by doctor that nothing will cure PCOS, you will have it for the rest of your life..
You can lower the severity of symptoms but you wont be able to get cure it..
I was diagnosed in june 2006 and i was 22 years old, was a pretty scary time especially thinking that you might not be able to have any children.. But i have been doing a lot of reading and i have heard lots of good stories from women who have this..
All the best
