I was on here reading posts a while back and someone had posted that they found a skin disease/disorder that was related to PCOS. It is not the usual hair and cystic acne issues it was something else and I am desperately trying to remember the name of the disease. Basically, it is when you get infected abscesses or boils in areas such as your groin, buttocks, arpit regions that are tender and sore, very red,etc. Not acne or pimples but actual boils or what not. The postee said they read somewhere that this skin disease was linked to the PCOS and I am looking for the name of that disease. Can anyone help?

The following month after my surgery I started to have regular periods. I lost 34 pounds the first month.

Hi Tina....your story sounds all to familiar to me. I am taking clomid right now and have been for the last three months; with no luck.  Last month, the dr told me that my "follicles" were measuring 10,11 & 12 and that in order to ovulate, they needed to be 20+.  Frustration is consuming me because I too lost over 100+ pounds and the ultimate resason I decided to have the surgery was to be healthy so that I could be a mom someday.  Thank you for sharing your story; it renews my hopes to ovulate soon!!  Take Care.  Tavia

Good luck with your surgery. I too have had PCOS pretty much since I first got my period. I am not even a month out since my surgery so I have yet to know if there will be any changes to my period or not. We shall see.
