Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Anyone else out there with PCOS? How long have you lived with it? How has it affected you? Do you have the coarser hair on your belly or other body parts? Has it affected your fertility? Has it affected moods?
Any discussion is helpful.
Thanks

No, but I'd like to learn more ... a friend was diagnosed and does experience highs and lows.

I have PCOS. I am 25 and have had it pretty much since I started with periods. Well, I didnt realize anything was wrong when I was a teen. I was just told I was lucky to not have periods every month. I would have maybe 3 periods per year. I started BC pills at about 14 to control the periods. I also have PCOS so I cant always tell where one ends and one begins... I do know I get multiple cyst. ANd they hurt like hell when they pop. I have even had a few drained. I have hair that grows on my face and my upper chest. I even have "sideburns". I know we tried for kids for 4 yrs. I did have a gastric bypass about 3 yrs ago and that somewhat kickstarted my cycle. Since the weight come off I had pretty much regular cycles. I now have 2 sets of twins also and I truly believe it is because of the PCOS. Somehow I just released more than 1 egg every cycle. I know some of the BC pills I have been on have REALLY effected my moods. Some of the pills with higher doses of hormone make me really moody and irratible. I dont think the PCOS really causes moodswings itself though. I would be happy to try to answer any other questions you may have.
