I sometimes don't read your blog (or any blogs, seriously) for weeks at a time and then am richly rewarded with lots of "laugh out loud" -ness when I get to read lots of posts at once. Though tonight I'm laughing with you about some crappy stuff, I'm still laughing. With you. Not at all at you and your hairy chin. Because kettle? I can has pot.

Wow. I just got diagnosed with PCOS today. I can’t say I’m happy about it but I am happy to know why I hadn’t gotten my period for 3 months. I read up on symptoms and I just was like, “Holy ****! This all makes sense.”

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I am. It’s been hard enough for me feeling the way I have for the past few years. I give you credit for being so strong.

I have PCOS too, but it isn’t as severe as you’re describing. I will tell you though, during my internal ultrasound (yep who wants a dildo sized wand up their hoo ha in a doc’s office!) I cried when she showed my the lovely pearl necklace looking cysts in around my ovaries. I feel your pain sort of. I ended up going on metformin and chlomid to conceive. I had problems nursing too, I ended up going until he was 14 months, but my supply was always tanking and I had to supplement from the beginning.

I am holding out hope for your pregnancy (and non-balls) quest.

I'm starting to think I should go to the doctor... I've got the manly hair in girly parts too. It's embarrassing and tweezing gets old. I have cysts in my breasts and have been putting off getting the ovaries checked for fear that I'll have some there too. Kristines last blog post..nope -- some are worse.

I too feel your pain. My doctor tells me I have 3 the size of those little footballs the cheerleaders throw to the crowd among the TEN. Never knew why I couldn't get pregnant and by the time I found out was really too old to do so. Looking at surgery -- but the time off work is worrying me.

I feel you pain. Oh, do I feel your pain! I have it, too. I’ve got the weight gain, the body hair, and the hair loss.

Whoever said cut back on refined sugars/grains is SO RIGHT. It’s hard, but I’ve lost about 10lbs doing this, along with an exercise plan.
