PCOS?: Get checked for pcos by your doctor. Diet, exercise and weight loss can help. Many times metformin rx will return menses and even fertility to normal.

PCO: It sounds like you might have poly cystic ovary disease. It would be best to start with a visit to your ob/gyn. The most worrisome part of this disease is the issues with blood sugar- not the cysts as the name would imply. It is important to get your blood sugar levels checked. The good news is there are effective treatments available.
