Dr. says she's conducting tests for PCOS?

Hi.
My OBGYN had some blood work ordered- I've also get an appt for an ultrasound next week- the Dr. have mentioned PCOS in ratification. After doing some research it it sounds A LOT like what I've be experiencing... Would anyone like to share their experiences? My symptoms basically seem so adjectives over the place-

I'm 26
5'1
extremely overweight (no joke and not person hypercritical) especially around the middle (panus and everything)
thick coarse black hair that sprout on my chin
severely irregular periods (5 straight weeks of hefty bleeding finaly got me surrounded by to see the Dr.)
migraines
Acne
Anxiety/Depression

Dr. said I'm probably annovulatory (bloodwork will tell).

What lifestyle changes did you enjoy to make after one diagnosed? Did you respond well to medication? Are here alternative treatements available?

Thank you for sharing your experiences with me!

Break Through Bleeding & other Symptoms.. Really Scared?

I enjoy poly cystic ovaries. I experienced extreme weight gain, moodiness, irregular period etc etc. I did the blood work, the ultrasound and it all confirmed. The doctors put me on the pill and that help significantly. I also went to see a Chinese herbalist's who practices acupuncture they help me to loose the weight. Its also helping me to gain pregnant. You mention faical hair. Excess body curls is known as hirustism (spelling ?) I have that but on my body they put me on aldactone which clear it up. I weaned myself off that after a year and my body have not had a reoccurance since. Its be about 6 years. Once you know what it is it calm you, you can seek support and get it adjectives sorted out. Its like you gain a second chance at existence. Before I got diagonsed my bloods come back twice recounting my doc that i was going through menopause at the age of 19. 28 very soon and have never feel better.

With PCOS your body becomes intolerant to extra sugar and carbohydrates. I shorten myselt to protein based meal, no junk, small amounts of fruit etc. Seek chinese herbalist and ask for a product call Zlim and Type 2. That helped symmetry my insulin levels, disappear my appetite and so I lost the weight. Its be 3 years since I have taken it and haven't put on any solidity since. Good luck! email me if you want to ask me any questions.
