That's great Iliana! I have PCOS too! Everything went a little haywire for me after the first couple of months - mostly very,very light cycles. But then everything just normalized! I'm quite a bit older than you though. I bet this is going to be sooooo great overall for your hormones and body!!! I'm really happy for you!!! Don't freak if things come and go for a while. Lets keep rocking our sleeves! :-)

I'm hoping after surgery I start mine. I barely have periods and if I do it's just light brown spotting. I want babies so bad!

I've gone to a few doctors but they just told me I'm fat (nice huh) and I had an ultrasound which didn't show cysts but my sister has PCOS and I have every symptom. Facial/body hair, no periods

It sucks!

I too have facial/ body hair and no cysts but somehow pcos. I got my period today without having my gyno "jump start" it. I'm two weeks post op. but I was told that anesthesia would effect my period, I just brushed that to the side.

But it gives me hope of babies without ivf. . .

Stellachick, I have the same problem pcos but no cysts. Check out a show (youtube) mystery diagnoses episode "the bearded lady" I tried telling my doctor I may have the same and he dismissed me. Anyways I take Maca, to help balance my hormones.

Yea I get my hormone levels check very often and they are always within normal rage. The doctors just always say its not your hormones alone that dictate your Hair growth. It's the way the follicles respond to the hormones. Ha laser hair removal had been doing its job.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
