I was diagnosed with PCOS 19 yers ago and managed to concieve two children without the help of fertility drugs. The first one was a fluke and the second one was right after because your body is tricked into a regular cycle for a short time after birth.
I have struggles with the side effects (missed periods, hairy upper lip and chin, weight gain and etc...) for so long that I do not know how much of my weight is PCOS or just being fat!

I have had Gastric Bypass 4 years ago and got down to 155 lbs for a short time. I did not stop my emotional eating therefore I know weigh 193.5 lbs again.
I am loving the feeling of being on the Phen but am sick and tired of stuggling my whole adult life ( and most of my childhhod) with my weight.

I really do believe that there are some people that can eat more calories and do less excerise then some and not have to worry about their weight. Unfortunatley I am NOT one of them.

I do not think tha DR's have made much strides in treating PCOS but if someone out there knows something that I do not, please share the knowledge!!! Any insight would be much appreciated.

Good luck to all in this journey...
