Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I am 26, just recently diagnosed with PCOS. I have always known something was "wrong" with me, but the doctors said I was okay, so I took that as the bible. I have always had issues with weight, mostly trying to lose it. I had all my bloodwork done recently the only thing "off" was my testosterone level, which was high. I do have excess body hair, and up to now haven;t had a period in almost 4 months. I am looking to gain knowledge about PCOS, and this is why I decided to join.
