i have had pcos for several years, but only in the past 6-12 mos. noticed huge complications from it. weight gain (like 30 lbs in 6 mos), acne, missed cycles, ect..my question is this: are there breakout cycles with pcos? i am 33 and have only in the past 6 mos noticed severe symptoms. i have always had crazy periods and they have always been heavy, i have always had excessive facial hair and always been overweight...but all of the symptoms seem more severe...and i recently found out that my iron levels are very low so now i have to deal with anemia too! the only difference with me and alot of the stories i have read is...i had no problem having children??
