i'm 15 and i have all the symptoms of PCOS, i had a blood test a while back (i'm afraid of needles i nearly fainted) anyway, my mum said i had very high testosterone, but hasn't done anything about it.. i want to be able to have kids, and lose weight, and everything but i just don't know what to do.. do you think i should get another blood test to make sure? i haven't been diagnosed but i am certain this is what i have. argh. :(

Okay so basically sounds like you have it, You need to eat a low carb  no sugar diet, and You need to be put on birth control to make the testosterone go down, And if you get diagnosed with the PCOS  most insurances should cover the medication for it. So i would suggest going to a gynacoligist  (cant spell sorry) that deals with pcos and go from their she/he should be able to help you get healthy

Riding your bike is a good way to get some exercise  in though, I like it ! Just not when its slightly cold out lol

Thanksgiving

Try not to feel bad about eating on thanksgiving, Its practicably unavoidable. 

Just remember to get up the next day and get your ass on the tredmill!

That moment when you find out there IS actually something wrong with you, and your not doing it to yourself. That moment when you realize you wanted an answer, And got it. It was PCOS, And now you wish it was anything but that. You wish it was something curable.

Metformin

Okay So lets talk about Metformin.

Metformin is a drug used to help with diabetes and insulin resistance. Metformin makes me sick to my stomach and dizzy so when I'm on it I take it at night, so if you get sick from it I suggest you do the same. Metformin also causes like a memory problem... It decreases your b12, So Like when I'm in the shower I'll wind up washing my hair twice because I can't remember if i washed it in the first place... Its really frustrating. So I got a multi-vitamin wich had b12 in it. I do believe it helped. 

Metformin is also being used as a diet pill now, so I've heard... not sure if its Legal though...

I've heard some success weightloss success stories with the Metformin, Yeah its great you lost the weight... but look your fat again.

I don't think the Metformin helped me lose weight at all, I do know that it made me not want to eat at all. AT ALL. I felt sick all the time. Nothing tasted good.

See that is why I think some people lost weight with it; Cause it makes you turned off of food, and just sick. Therefore you do not eat which equals Loss of weight... then you lose the weight and stop taking the Metformin and you gain some weight...

What do you think?

Hope that was helpful LOL
