Hi 1Day,
I have polycystic ovary syndrome too - and if there is anything I can do to help...answer any questions, etc....let me know. I used to have terrible trouble with my periods but they are under good control now. I take glucophage (metformin) twice a day. It is a drug that is normally used for people who have diabetes, but it can help for people who have PCOS. It helped me get my periods under control. I don't take birth control pills. In my case, I can't take them....I just take the glucophage. I also lost a lot of weight (100 lbs). I was very overweight a few years ago, and I think losing weight helped too. But it's a catch-22 sort of thing, because PCOS can predispose people to gain weight, and then again, it can make the menstrual problems even worse, I think, if you are overweight when you have PCOS. Going on a diet that focuses on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats can help too, whether you are overweight or not. It took me awhile to become convinced of this, but it has sure been true in my case. Again, if you have any questions or I can be of help, let me know.

Take care,
