Thanks Sumi and Chotoo, I appreciate the support
Alhamdulilah my menstruation is normal so I'm not that concerned about my fertility, but I guess I'm just worried about long term effects. It's good to know that people with PCOS are not infertile even if it's hard to get pregnant (then again, a lot of people do regardless if they have hormonal problems or not).
I eat healthy and in the past 4 years lost about 30 pounds so I'm not obese and just a tad "overweight" but most people think I weigh 20 pounds less than what I really am so it's not a huge deal. With Sally's suggestion, I'm already on a low glycemic diet anyway alhamdulillah. There isn't a history in my family for diabetes but I don't know if that makes a difference. I really, really don't want diabetes!
Right now the symptoms are just cosmetic (acne, which has improved a lot with this topical stuff I'm using) and the hair (which isn't *that* bad, nobody notices it and I have laser). I'm on the pill right now for my acne but I don't think it's having much of an effect. I guess I'm just worried if over time it just gets worse and worse but like Chotoo mentioned, if I take care of myself it shouldn't escalate, right?
Thanks again gals
