TD Garden, Boston, MA
BOSTON -- Jason Terry's nose still hurt. He wasn't about to let his pride suffer as well.
Two days after being smacked by J.R. Smith's elbow, the guard the Boston Celtics count on for his shooting scored their last nine points and kept their season going.
The Celtics beat the Knicks 97-90 in overtime on Sunday to avoid a first-round sweep and force a fifth game in New York on Wednesday night. Avoiding elimination provided all the motivation Terry needed.

With his late heroics, Jason Terry entered the wayback machine and gave the Celtics new life by avoiding a sweep, writes Chris Forsberg. Story
After staving off a series sweep, Paul Pierce went to great lengths to put off talk of his future with the Celtics, writes Jackie MacMullan. Story
J.R. Smith's one-game suspension is the latest chapter for a Knicks' franchise with a history of playoff volatility, Ian O'Connor writes. Story
• Begley: Melo misses chances, shots
• Stats & Info: Celts back to winning
"It wasn't really the elbow," he said. "It was more (like) this is it. I mean, the season's over. You can leave it all out here tonight and go home for a long summer or you can live to play another day."
But, he conceded, his nose "still hurts right now. As long as I feel that, I guess I'll be thinking about it."
The NBA suspended Smith for the game, and the Knicks could have used his shooting. Carmelo Anthony scored 36 points and Raymond Felton picked up the slack with 27, but New York made just 28.9 percent of its shots in the first half as Boston took a 54-35 lead.
"J.R. is a big piece of what we do, but he wasn't here," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said, "so I'm not using that as an excuse."
New York had tied the game 84-84 after trailing by 20 points early in the third quarter. It was 88-all before the Celtics regained control and took the lead for good on a 3-pointer by Terry. Anthony hit a short jumper, but Terry connected on a 15-footer with 50 seconds remaining for a 93-90 lead.
After Anthony, who shot 10 for 35 for the game, missed a 3-pointer with 21 seconds to go, Terry was fouled by Steve Novak and made both free throws. He added a layup to close out the game.
But the Celtics still have a huge deficit in trying to become the first team to win after trailing a series 3-0 in the NBA playoffs. The Knicks are trying to win their first playoff series in 13 years.

"We have to be confident going back home," Anthony said. "We were confident here today."
Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 29 points, Jeff Green added 26 and Terry finished with 18.
With leaders such as Pierce and Kevin Garnett, the Celtics have "tremendous" pride, Terry said.
"Getting swept is something that no man that's been in this league that long wants to do," he said. "It's disheartening.
"Now we have to go into a hostile environment and they're going to be trying to get it over with. They don't want to come back here, but we do."
The Celtics showed renewed energy early after being held below 80 points in each of the first three games. They led 59-39 three minutes into the third quarter before their recent second-half woes returned.
In previous first halves, they scored just 25 points in Game 1 and 23 in Game 2. On Sunday, they were outscored 30-14 in the third quarter and led just 68-65 heading into the fourth.
"Good teams are going to make those runs," said Garnett, who had 13 points, 17 rebounds and six assists for Boston. "It's deflating, but we kept fighting. We found a way to get over the hump."

Boston held a 65-51 lead when Anthony went to the bench with 3:35 remaining. The Knicks outscored the Celtics 14-3 the rest of the way behind 11 points from Felton and a 3-pointer from Iman Shumpert. Felton finished with 16 points in the quarter.
"He was huge in this game for us," Kenyon Martin said. "Especially missing J.R., we needed someone else to make shots for us and he did that."
The Knicks played the first half as if they had taken shooting lessons from the Celtics. New York hit just 11-of-38 shots in the half after Boston made only 39.5 percent of its total attempts in the first three games.
The Celtics found their range from the start and connected on 51.3 percent (20 for 39) in the half.
"We established our defense and we made shots," Pierce said. "I thought it really gave us confidence when we got out to the fast start because our offense has really been struggling."

But the Knicks still have a big advantage with three possible chances to get the one win they need to advance to the second round. They were swept in the opening round by the Celtics in 2011 then lost to the Miami Heat in five games in 2012 after dropping the first three games.
This year, the Knicks won the first two games at home then took Game 3 in Boston 90-76 on Friday night.
"We did our job when we came here. We got us a win," Felton said. "That was our goal."
And now the Knicks get Smith back.
"We know how dangerous he is," Terry said. "He's going to come out, obviously, tough, aggressive, looking to be a spark for them but we're just resilient."
The Celtics need to be as they try to get to a sixth game in Boston on Friday night.
"This is the first time that we really came out with fire in our eyes," Terry said. "Every game from here on out is Game 7 for us."
Game notes
Boston had just three offensive rebounds while the Knicks grabbed 16. ... The Celtics have been swept six times in the 112 playoff series in their history. ... The Knicks were 19-2 in their previous 21 games. The Celtics were 5-14 in their previous 19. ... For the Celtics, Garnett, Green and Brandon Bass each had four fouls five minutes into the third quarter. Bass committed his fifth with 5:10 left in the period and fouled out with 4:27 to go in the game. ... Anthony committed his fourth with 4:08 remaining in the third.

Around The Association
MVP: Paul Pierce. While Carmelo Anthony wallowed in irretrievable chuckery, the Celtic Captain (29 points, eight rebounds, six assists) came up with big buckets galore. Age may have robbed him of a step or two, but the balance and poise are still there in spades.
X factor: Jason Terry. The much-criticized veteran backup came up huge in OT, nailing a transition 3-pointer and a pair of big free throws.
That was prideful: After the first three games, a Knicks sweep seemed imminent. But Pierce and Kevin Garnett (13 points, 17 rebounds, six assists) wouldn't let it happen.
Research Notes
From Elias: Carmelo Anthony is seeking to become just the third scoring champion in NBA history to defeat the Celtics in a playoff series. The Magic, led by Shaq, closed the Boston Garden back in 1995 and Max Zaslofsky led the Chicago Stags to a 2-1 series win over the Celts back in 1948.[+]

Mateo Murphy…..
His mix sets the pace from the beginning with some very forward thinking tech which very quickly seems to pick up a deep driving bass, relentless in its movement, the set seems to stick to this format staying moderately dirty as it goes. Slight build ups along the way help break things up and jump back into full driving mode before the mix transforms subtly minimal, slowing the pace very slightly but by no means decreasing on the movement factor, as things seem to have picked up more bounce that you feel like your skipping though some kind of acid infused jungle experience with Second Sun – We Own The Night (Safari Edition).
The mix moves on and once again we are back into move driving bass whilst maintaining the bounce, we have entered some very strong Minimal-Techno. Here we experience some typical minimal with bleeps and techy percussion, although in some respects this may all sound a bit cliché, there are still typical build ups and drop which can't be knocked.
But never fear as this Minimal-Techno delves a bit deeper, again with some lovely movement you would crazy not to feel this. Moving into a Techy bass we feel the mix momentarily easy of the accelerator, fall into a break, freakishly build with some high freqs, then pulse into a deep Techy-Progressive bass movement followed by those freaky high freq builds.
As the mix continues it stays in a darkish realm of deep driving bass which you get very comfortable with and hope that the madness never ends.
Mateo Murphy puts on an intense performance of deep driving music. It's relentless and far from uninteresting.

What Causes Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is indicated by many small cysts in the ovaries. Health care professionals may also call it polycystic ovary disease, polycystic ovaries, Stein-Leventhal syndrome, or polyfollicular ovarian disease.
PCOS affects about 5 percent to 10 percent of women of childbearing age and occurs among all races and nationalities. It is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age and is a leading cause of infertility. It is estimated that as many as 30% of women have some characteristics of the syndrome.
The ovaries of women with PCOS produce higher than normal amounts of androgens (male hormones) which can interfere with the development and release of eggs. Normally when an egg matures, the follicle (sac within the ovary that contains eggs) releases the egg so it can travel to the uterus for fertilization. With PCOS, the eggs in these follicles may not mature or in some case egg maturation is altered. Instead of being released during the menstrual cycle, the follicles build up in the ovaries and form cysts. Because they are not ovulating and releasing an egg each month it is common for women with PCOS to have irregular or missed periods.
What Causes PCOS?
The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is called a syndrome rather than a disease because it has many possible causes or characteristics, rather than one known cause. Although the ovaries of women with this syndrome contain a number of small cysts, women without PCOS may also have a similar number of cysts. For this reason, researchers believe the cysts themselves may not be causing the problem.
It is believed the leading cause of PCOS could be insulin resistance. Women with PCOS are often found to have a malfunction of insulin production, formation, or action. Too much insulin signals the ovaries to release higher-than-normal levels of androgens. Elevated insulin levels are unhealthy and may eventually increase your risk not only for infertility but also for diabetes, certain cancers, and heart disease.
PCOS may also have a genetic predisposition and run in families. However, there is not yet enough scientific evidence to prove the condition is inherited.
If you have PCOS-related infertility it is probably due to the inability of the ovaries to release an egg, or the ovaries are releasing eggs that are not fully developed. However, not all women with PCOS have difficulty becoming pregnant. To learn more about PCOS, visit Fertility Authority's PCOS Channel.

Hello ladies. I am so glad
Hello ladies. I am so glad that I found this page. I am 27 years old and have not got a period since I was 24. I only got my 1st period at 20 and that was regulated by BC pills. I recently found I that I have PCOS. I don't really have the weight issues though. I am a consistent 120 lbs for the past 5-10 years. My husband and I have been ttc since we were 24. If finding out I have pcos wasn't a big blow the doc's decided to throw another hurdle at me by diagnosing my with a septated uterus. I have 2 cervices and a septated vagina as well. My husband and I just had an appt with a maternal-fetal specialist who told us without the pcos our chances of having a successful pregnancy at only about 60% with the chance of miscarriage and premature delivery being really high too. We have another appt next week and the reproductive endocrinologist wants to put me on metformin and clomid and see what happens. I am a little concerned about the metformin since I already have "low sugar" issues when I get all shakey and almost pass out. Thanks for letting me vent and my thoughts are with all of you as you go through your journeys!!
Hello ladies, I see that
Hello ladies, I see that alot of us are going thru the same thing. I was diagnosed with PCOS about 7 years ago, I too had irregular periods thru my teen years, and the most irregular in 04, which i only actually had one period that whole year. I went to the doc, they put me on metformin, and it helped me within two months to get pregnant. i lost that one at 7 1/2 weeks, and I stopped going to the doc (bad mistake) and i stayed off my metformin for about 3 1/2 years. still had really irregular periods, and my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the last 8 years. He encorraged me to go to the doctor again, and i got back on my metformin, and within two months i was pregnant again! that was back in dec of 09, and I have recently miscarried again (two weeks ago) at 7 1/2 weeks as well. Now i am still on my metformin, and they have found out that my progestrone level was really low, but it was too late for this pregnancy to get it to fully work. Now the next time i am pregnant, i am to start my progestrone pills as soon as i find out. hopefully, this time it will grow and develope the way it is supposed to! so we are keeping our fingers crossed, and if we do have to go down the road of IVF, so be it. I hope all of you ladies find the answeres you are needing, and if anyone needs to talk i am around the Southern Indiana are, and my email is email@example.com.
I just happened upon this
I just happened upon this site today and I am so happy that I did. I am 36 and have been dealing with the up's and down's (mostly down's--extreme weight gain, facial hair growth, moodiness, unpredictable periods, and no "drive" if you know what I mean) of PCOS for atleast 15-17 years. I can identify with much of what has already been shared in previous comments and feel for what all you ladies are going thru.
Living with PCOS is definitely a challenge. I also am a diabetic and have gastroparesis (which is a severe digestive disorder that can go along with diabetes). I have taken metformin, but could not tolerate it....(so now I am on glucophage) and for many years I was taking birth control to help regulate my periods and symptoms of PCOS--IT DOES HELP!! Of course, I still have episodes of pain and months of periods missed which prompt more blood work, scripts or injections of progesterone, and "fancy" pelvic exams. I too, like one other writer, asked my GYN on several different accounts to remove my ovaries only to have him respond that I was/am too young and that I had/have no children and that I would regret the decision later.
My concern now is that I have skipped my period for the last 6-7 months. In response I've been taken off birth control...gone thru all of the usual steps described above and my GYN is now recommending that I lose weight (which I seem to always be trying to do with no success) and undergo a uterine biopsy. I understand that the procedure is not complicated and that it is done in-office but it just makes me a little nervous. I'd be happy to chat further or if anyone has any recommendations/advice for me please reply to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I was told when i was 19
I was told when i was 19 that i had PCOS! Then I got married and we wanted kids... I have been trying to have a family for 6 years with lots of failed attempts... i became pregenat in feb. of 2009 and in june of 2009 gave birth at 20 weeks to a baby boy who was not alive... I would say having this sucks! i am tired all the time... I have had so many cysts brust it hurts so bad! I am on so many different drugs a month to try and have a baby... I just want a family is that to much to ask???
I agree that PCOS is an
I agree that PCOS is an unwanted disease to the women. This disease is not wanted by any women. Specially this effects a lot in the time of pregnancy.I really can understand that you got a lot of problem to get pregnant and all you desire is the good family of yours.There is nothing you can do rather keep good hopes and stay positive.And still sorry for every loss you have made.

hello everyone, i have not
hello everyone, i have not had the tests ran because the doc i had said it wasnt necessary for the diagnosis(i disagreed which is why hes not my doc anymore) that was after i had a miscarriage. i had not been on birth control for two years before i got prego and its been almost two years since i miscarried and i have had no luck. i have tried all the natural herbs i think i can find, the ovulation sticks just dont seem to ever really show a true pos. im frustrated to no end right now. does anyone have any advice for me? i do have kaiser for insurance but i have heard that their fertility treatmens and docs are very expensive because they dont cover fertility....does anyone have kaiser that could help me out with some things? anyone with any sugestions would help. my periods as a teen were irregular and i had giant clots and bled verrrry heavily for 10-14 days, after i got off birth control they were regular up till i found out i was miscarrying which i knew a week before it happend via ultrasound i was 6 weeks. now the days between a period are anywhere from 35- 48 days and the period itself only 2-3 days and recently its just 5-8 days of very light spotting. its odd i dont know what to do. i cant go to the doc quite yet so any help is very much appreciated. please email me at email@example.com

I am 18 yrs old and I
I am 18 yrs old and I havent been getting my period for 8 months now. Last week was my first gynecologist visit ever. I was really nervous because I knew something was wrong with me. My doctor had told me that I have PCOS. I am wicked upset and devastated about it and I dont have anyone really to talk to about it. My mom and my sister can pop out babies like it's not a big deal and although I know I am too young to think about having children, I've always wanted to be a mother more than anything. To have this pop up in my life and telling me that it will be extremely hard or not be able to have children of my own is very depressing and I dont know what to think. I have been reading everything I can about this disease and it just makes me cry. I need to get tested for diabetes and I'm scared about that as well. This news is making me feel less of a girl and I know I shouldnt think that way it is just very upsetting to me. No one is making a big deal in my family but I feel like it is a big deal to me. I start my medicine and getting blood taken next week. I'm extremely nervous. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on dieting tips for me. That would be great.
hi i am 17 and in a month i
hi i am 17 and in a month i will be 18 i went to the doctor today and found out the i have PCOS and i know how u feel for the last three years i have been talking about how i cant wait tell im financially stable and settled down and now i am finding out that i may not be able to have kids it sucks i almost cried when she told me that. but the only good thing is i have something to blame my wieght and hair on..... i start me testing and stuff in a few days i am very worried too!
Hey Gabby, I just want to
Hey Gabby,
I just want to say that Acupuncture has really helped me... In fact it's changed my life. I'm 25 and I don't know for sure if I have PCOS, I haven't had a gynecology exam since the symptoms really emerged because I believe in healing myself.... Anyway, the symptoms I was/am presenting are pretty much right on with the diagnosis: unwanted facial hair, irregular/long cycles, extreme moodiness, bad cramps, adult acne around the chin and jaw. The only thing I don't have a problem with is weight. When I first got my period around age 13 it started out really irregular and I just never thought about it... no one ever educated me about what was normal. In fact, I believe that one precipitating factor to my hormonal development was a general terror and discomfort about "growing up". At age 15, i went on Birth Control for acne (though it was a mild case of acne, I think my parents just wanted to avoid the safe sex talk...) and was on BC until I was 20. During that time, I never thought about my cycle, never learned about my body, or got in touch with it. I mostly just avoided it due to fears and inhibitions and carelessness. Around age 20, I wanted to do an experiment, and see what happened when I went off the pill.... Anyway, after I stopped the pill my cycles got further and further apart until they disappeared for 8 months... which I later learned was very common, and all that worry was useless! Usually, after quitting meds of any sort, cycles resume their old patterns. Eventually, when I got my period again... it was just spotting now and then. Finally, there seemed to be some sort of pattern, every 29-50 days for a long time.... this really worried me. Then my hair started falling out, I got really pale, low energy, lifeless... I started getting sick about a week before each period was about to start, I had to pee all the time... I got scared and worried, and finally walked into an acupuncture office and asked for help. I had no idea what PCOS was, what thyroid problems could do. Anyway Within a few months, my hair stopped falling out, I felt like I had normal energy again, I was learning tons and tons about myself, my life path and development. I was taking chinese herbs to restore my strength and my periods had greater predictability. For a while, cramps worsened, and bleeding was heavier, but I gave it TIME... which most people don't do, and I emphasize that this may take years to resolve. Along with all this, I started forcing myself to be active, go to bed at a normal time and I also stopped drinking coffee, chocolate, sugar in most forms, gluten, dairy and cold foods. I certainly would go in and out of this dietary regimen, but it sure helped a lot! Coffee has been the hardest thing to quit, but also the most essential. My acne got worse for about a year, and recently it's dramatically cleared up. right as I was losing hope things got a lot better. Furthermore, the hair situation, which was the most upsetting of all in some regards, improved... not 100% yet, but noticeably. It's completely manageable now. Also, recently I started charting my cycles via the "fertility awareness method", which doesn't offer much direct help to PCOS people, but certainly is empowering me to finally get a hold of what my hormones, and body are doing. (this will really help your doctors too! They would benefit greatly from having a chart with notes on it that you've been compiling for a while... it takes the guess work out of diagnosis...) Now, I might have a "longer than average cycle" but I at least know when I have an anovulatory cycle, when I do ovulate and what to expect just by taking my temperature and checking cervical fluid. It's helped me demystify my body and be more pro-active... and that in and of itself seems to have made great improvement in my fertility.
So my words of wisdom:
Check out the books:
taking charge of your fertility
the garden of fertility
The infertility cure
These are the supplements I took:
Vit D (liquid)
cod liver oil (www.greenpastures.com)
multivitamin (actually a prenatal, just because it seemed less intense and more fertility nourishing)
Chinese herbs (it's different for every one)
nettle leaf tea (infusion style)
what I did:
Acupuncture TX regularly for the past 2.5 years
reduced stress
held the intention to heal (you've got to be willing to heal more than ANYTHING!)
got regular massage
tried really hard to stop worrying so much!
didn't listen to all the drug advice out there. They all have horrendous side effects. (my dad is a doctor, and he's the one who pushed it the hardest... that was tough for me!)
massage my abdomen once a day
did castor oil packs on my belly when I could
stopped being a workaholic
developed better relationships with myself, and people I love
developed greater self esteem.
went to a naturopath to learn more
went to bed earlier
...and many other experiments along the way..
My last advice.... do what you have to do, but please don't be devastated... your so young and have time to work through all this. You are so blessed to have this information at 18 and not 30! Your mind can be so so so powerful, and the words of "authority" i.e. docters, this web-site etc. can be very influential in negative ways. Perseverance furthers!
And by the way, it's not like I've got loads of money or anything, I just made acupuncture and herbs my top priority, and I believe anyone can make it happen!
I truly wish you good luck!
I am so happy I found this
I am so happy I found this page. I am 35 and only a year ago found I had pcos. Unfortunatly I am on the very high end. I no longer have any periods, I have full facial hair, my weight is out of control, I get pain on one side or the other when a cyst burst and hemmorages into my ovary. Not sure yet what I am going to do about it. I am happy to say I was very young when I had my 2 boys. I was 13 though when they removed a cyst the size of a softball. My periods stopped at 19. Thanks for your comments. It gives me hope that I am not the only one.

Oh Cassidy, it can be so
Oh Cassidy, it can be so frustrating when you're trying to find treatment that works for YOU!! There are other treatments for PCOS like modifying your diet and going on birth control pills. But will they help you? Only you and your doctor will know for sure. I encourage you to go back to your doc and if she can't help, ask for a referral to an endocrinologist who specializes in helping people handle hormonal dysfunctions. You deserve to have a healthy, happy life -- some of us just have to fight harder for it!!

What do you want me to do for you? " I said I have no idea I'm not the Dr. So I walked out...I have to find anyothere one by me...She was the only Dr. in an 2 hour drive from me...I have been losing weight for some reason latly 15 pounds in 2 months I thought that was a good start....Well thanks again for the reply...
*What do they look for to
*What do they look for to know if I had polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?
* Will Clomid help me ovulate?
*Is there a connection with diabetes, hormone levels and polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?
I am 38 years old and I have been trying to get pregnant for the last four years. I worked in childcare for most of my life and never imaged my life without becoming a mother to my own children. I recently bought those urine tests that you can daily keep track of your ovulation. My cycles have always been crazy, so it recommended to use the first one on day ten and just continue throughout the month until you detect the LH surge. I have gone through 5 boxes now and never detected a LH surge. Its helped me at least see why all our efforts have been fruitless all these years. I have had hormone tests and ultrasounds, but I dont remember any mention of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
Is there a connection with diabetes, hormone levels and polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? I also noticed more than one mention of a overweight ness on this site.
Is that a tenancy? I am not diabetic, but I have problems with low blood sugar levels for over twenty years. I remember that when I was on birth control pills for six months, I had a yeast infection that lasted the whole six months until I quit taking the pill. My GYN said there was not a relation between yeast infections and birth control pills, but I heard that diabetics often have yeast infections when on hormone therapy or birth control pills.
I am not sure if anyone has
I am not sure if anyone has answered your questions yet. So I will go ahead and try to answer them to the best of my ability. I have PCOS and from my research and from my doctors have told me PCOS symptoms are abnormal weight gain, excess growth of hair, weight is usually carried in the waist, hormone levels are abnormal and irregular or absent periods. I am not sure Clomid will help you ovulate I believe it does however, I know they don't necessarily like to prescribe Clomid because it could lead to multiple births and its main use is infertility. I believe they would prescribe metformin first but in some cases in someone wanting to conceive they might put you on metformin and clomid together. Yes, there is definitely a connection between diabetes, hormone levels and PCOS. There is an very good video on youtube that was made by a doctor that talks about the links of these things. The video was very informative to me and put in terms I could understand.
Also you mentioned whether or not being heavy is associated with PCOS yes it is definitely associated with PCOS. I believe PCOS affects your hormones which in turn doesn't let our bodies absorb insulin properly so our insulin levels are off. Because we don't produce the hormone to absorb the insulin our bodies make throwing our glucose levels and hormone levels and weight gain typically easier than it is for others.
Hi Michelle-- I'm sorry
Hi Michelle--
I'm sorry that you're journey to become a mother has been such a difficult one. I encourage you to seek out a fertility specialist and have a full hormonal work-up. Unfortunately, a gynecologist may not have the expertise to diagnose the issue and might be missing some of the signs. Research shows that there is a connection to diabetes and PCOS and yes, hormone levels can be checked to help get that PCOS diagnosis.
Many women have had success with Clomid and for women with blood sugar issues, their doctors may prescribe glucophage along with Clomid. But this is why it's important to see a specialist. Clomid is sometimes called the aspirin of infertility because doctors prescribe it so readily but women need to be monitored while on it and they also should have their partners tested as well as have other diagnostic tests to be sure that ovulation is the issue and that there aren't other issues like low sperm count or blocked tubes.
You can look for an RE in your community through our search (in that box labeled "Get Started" on the right).
I wish you much luck in the new year!!

hi, i'm an 18 year old girl
hi, i'm an 18 year old girl and I have had this problem of irregular periods since pretty much last year. I gained so much weight and did have abnormal hair growth in the very less common areas such as chest, stomach. Whenever I go talk to my doc, she puts me on birth control and knowing that its gonna make me gain weight just discourages me and i never take it. It worries me a lot and i'm gonna go for an ultrasound. Do any of you guys know if this thing's always gonna make me gain weight. It gets soo frustrating after a while when you're 18 and you look not fit. Also, when before I used to be athletic and fit, whereas now I fel tired and my self esteem is like buried in the ground. I feel bad for myself :(
Hang in there I use to be
Hang in there I use to be really fit and I gained alot of weight to. I have gained more latetly. My weights constantly going up and down because my PCOS im tired of it but its so hard to regulate. Your not alone :)
Please don't lose hope in
Please don't lose hope in yourself I know how you feel I'm 20 now and I use to also be fit ah=nd thin and now I look 4 months pregant but the said thing is that I may never get to have Kids and I really want kids. I work at the Hospital in town and I started walking on the tredmill and have notice some progress. so even though you stay tired try to work out maybe some yoga would help. I'm on the birth control pill called sprintec and i seem to do good on that and I don't seem to be gaining weight on it so you might give it a try. Just stay away from the Depo shot I t made me gain 10 pounds in one month. Well good luck hope thing work out for you. Nette
I was 20 when I started to
I was 20 when I started to have symptoms of PCOS. I was very athletic and played Tennis for college. I stated missing periods, gaining a bunch of weight and having sevre headaches. I went to many doctors and no one could figure out what was wrong with me! Finally I went to an eye doctor that found that I had swollen optical nerves that was caused by a fake tumor (extra water on my brain) that was caused by gaining so much weight so fast and having PCOS. I gained 75 pnds in one year!!! I felt miserable not only because I was getting fat but I had never been fat my whole life. I then went to many doctors and they put me on metaphormine and it helped me lose about 30 pnds and if I would still take it right i would probably lose more weight but it makes my stomach so upset and you have to go to the bathroom all the time and where I work I can't always get to a bathroom.
I recommend counseling! It really helped for me! I do feel better about my self and I don't let this syndrome hold me back from doing things that I enjoy! I use to be 140 pnds before my dignosis and now I weigh 270. My weight and pants size flucuates from 16 to 20. I'm now 29 and I have been trying to have children for about 3 years. It is really rough but you are young and you can exercise and eat right and that will help with the weight and it will help with the chemicals in your brain to make them feel better too! Good Luck! And just remember you are not alone! Find good support systems!!!
I went for blood work a yr
I went for blood work a yr ago and my levels were off so i went for a sonogram and the dr said I had pcos. For the past 3 months my period had stopped out of no where. so now i have to take progestrone to enduse is since im trying to have a baby. I also tryed clomid to help me get pregnant but no luck hoping to see the endo dr for more help.anyone else in my boat? email me firstname.lastname@example.com
i also have pcos and i am
i also have pcos and i am 28 now i was diagnosed with it back in october and my doctor had me in for ovarian drilling that was november 2nd 2009 i have not become pregnant but my period started in january by itself. in 2009 i had my first period in january and didn't have another one until my doctor started it with meds. I am not pregnant yet but i will test in a few days to see if it worked this month. I have tried clomid which gave me double vision so i can't use that and was switched to famera which has not helped yet, but the doctor is going to have me keep using it. My husband and i have been trying for 5 years now. PCOS is when your body produces a lot of the male hormone which causes cysts to cover you ovaries so the female hormone can not get through to your eggs my eggs wouldn't grow past 2 or 3 days. Since the surgery my very painful periods since i was 12 have not been has bad in january it wasn't bad at all and they say it can take a couple of months from the surgery for you to feel less painful periods. my fingers are crossed this month.. Good luck to everyone

PCOS Symptoms
I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts when I was 11. I have done everything from BC to Meditation. I did more research last year with the help of my sugaring lady( Sugaring being the best hair removal process) and I found that Spearmint tea lowers androgonen in both men and women. The side effect is getting used to being less horny. It did regulate my periods and I did cry like a girly girl...alot! But it was better than hormone treatments. My Sugaring lady also said you should have your Dr. remove the cysts. She said it'll be like pulling teeth to convince them to do the procedure but that she had it done and it was worth it. Whe got pregnant right after and her extra hair disapeared. I hope this helps...
31 with one kid:)
Spearmint tea and androgonen
I was just hoping you could tell me how long it took before you started seeing and feeling the results of the Spearmint tea reducing the androgonen?
Also, how much and how often did you drink the tea?
I am a 20 year old woman who just literally just learned about PCOS. And who has just learned that there is a very high possibility that I may have PCOS.
I am 45 and have had PCOS
I am 45 and have had PCOS since I was 16. Yes irregular periods once every 3-4 months when I was young. Then diagnosed with Diabetes at age 26 directly related to the PCOS. Went through extensive infertiltiy and was unable to concieve. I was then started on Glucophage for the diabetes, but this also help with the PCOS and my ovulation cycle. It was almost 4 years after starting Glucophage that I was acutally having regular periods. My Ob/GYN had ordered a progesterone level to be drawn on day 14-16 of my current cycle. Well the story ends nicely in the fact that I forgot to get the blood test drawn, but five weeks later I discovered I was pregnant. Yes my miracle baby from God. When discussing this with my OB/GYN and endocrinologist they are 98% sure that the Glucophage helped with the regulation of my ovulation cycle making it possible to get pregnant. My periods are now regular and like clock work. I would suggest getting a referral to an Endocrinologist and seeing if strating on a low dose of Glucophage would help with your daughters symptoms related to her difficult cycles (dysmenorrhea). I hope this helps. I have gone through alot and I am happy to say my symptoms have been relieved, I no longer take the Glucophage seconday to side effects but my cycle remain regular.
I am 24 with pcos
I went in for a ultrasound and was told that I have pcos about 3yrs ago. I have had about 4 miscarages and my cycles are never on time. And when i do get one its only for about 2-3 days long. I got on birth control to regulated them and when they started to reglate I try to concieve again with no sucess. I started missing cylces again thinking that I might of been pregnant but all test have been negative. My cycles have become even more eregular over the last 4 months. I have become abnormally tired and dizzy. Is there anyone who has these symptoms?
In the same boat kinda
hi my name is lovely. I

Birth control.. is simply
Birth control.. is simply that. Its birth control. Its meant to keep your ovaries from spitting out eggs by convincing the body that its pregnant, while still having a period every month. Most women cannot conceive while on birth control. Birth control is given to make the cycle more regular. That's about it. And to control acne break outs and such.
I can't take birth control because it makes my cramps so bad I can't move.
The best thing to do is to look into medicines specifically made to help you conceive. Like Clomid. :)
The dizzy might be because your iron is low. Don't take my word for it though, because I'm not a doctor. But in my experience because my period is so jacked up, and I have one for months at a time, (and I mean I'll have a "regular" one, then the rest of the month I bleed or spot. Its not fun), and because of that, my iron gets really low, and I have to take a vitamin supplament with Iron in it. This may be something you want to talk to your doctor about.
It could also be as simple as you are getting the right nutrients, in your diet. It could be a boat load of things. But if you are having those symptoms, you need to go to your doctor because women with PCOS, have a greater risk of getting blood clots and other issues associated with Birth Control, than the average woman who doesn't have PCOS and is on birth control.
a good site to look into, for anyone with PCOS, is www.soulcysters.net. Its a web forum ran by a doctor, and has lots and lots of women on it, who have PCOS. You can ask questions, talk to people your own age, in your own state, ect. You can even ask around about what to actually ask your doctor! :) Good luck, and I hope this helps anyone that has similar issues. :)
Hey there,....I too have
Hey there,....I too have PCOS severely. I have dizzy spells all the time like you all were mentioning. However--please feel encouraged ladies out there trying to get pregnant. I DID have a baby! What worked for me is going on birth control pills. I took them for a while to get regular, and then stopped taking them. 2 months after stopping the bc I got pregnant! It regulated my cycle so that I would ovulate and as soon as I stopped taking the bc I still ovulated for a couple of months which was long enough to get pregnant. My doctor also warned me that not doing something about it was bad. The longer you don't take bc or something the more infertile you become. So be weary of that but be encouraged you can get pregnant and have a baby.
i found out i have pcos
i found out i have pcos about 3yrs. ago. ihave a cycle once a year. i have a 14yr.old son. i had a miscarriage when he was 2. i've tried for 10yrs. now
i have a doctor but with no luck. it sucks not to be able to have another baby. my next step i guess is to get a hisdrectomi.i feel for anyone with this syndrome.
i was told that i have pcos
i was told that i have pcos last year and i am trying to have a baby. i have been put in meds to regulate my periods. i am always tired and dizzy. my priods come only 1-3 times a year and my the days that i do get it its only for 2-3 days also. How far along were you when you had your miscarages.
Hello, I too have had
I too have had dizzyness, a dermoid cyst which is when I was diagnosed with PCOS due to the polycystic ovaries they found when they did the surgery to remove one of my ovaries. I was devastated, and told I would not likely have children. I have two!
Six months after I began taking metformin I became pregnant on the pill after a series of antibiotics the first time and then I was breast feeding quite a bit when I became pregnant the second time. They took me off all medications the first time and the second time left me on the metformin and switched a med to prozac because of it's long history of information and lack of complicating births as apposed to the newer drug I was on ? It may have been Effexor XR?
I do not have the typical appearance I am 5'7" 136lbs now after a ton of stress but I was also that weight when I became pregnant. The children are 7 and 9 now. I also have some weird numbness feeling on the side of my head regulary. They CAT scanned me and blood tested me and found only slightly elevated blood sugar. I do not know if it was an A1C blood sugar test that tells more than a one time prick test.
I have Marfan Syndrome too. I do not think it's related at all. I have IBS with constipation and migraines too, both more likely related to the Marfan Syndrome.
Once I passed out coming out of a bar where I drank only soda and face planted in the mud. Talk about embarrassing knowing what people must have thought. My doctor diagnosed it as a likely vaso-vagal response to change in temperatures or stnading up too quickly since I have a low blood pressure. I did have to have electrolysis for five years and more intermittentlyafter that. Now I cannot afford it. anything that remains is minor and I deal withit using electronic a very fast moving tweezer hand held thing. like a man might have a shaver but its tweezing. Yuck I know. It is very upsetting. I feel very fortunate I have the two unplanned babse I do. I was 3 1/2 months pregnant the first time with no period, and that was not unusual for me so I onlyy took a test because a dress wouldn't fit thinking there was no way. One ovary and on birth control? It's possible. If you email me make it clear you are responding to this or I will shuffle it in the spam. I will answer what ever I can.
Best of luck to all.
Yes, I have the same thing
Yes, I have the same thing going on. I have a two year old son, I was told very shortly after the birth of my son that I too has PCOS. My husband and I wanted to have another child shortly after our son. I went to the doctor and they put me on birth control and gave me metformin, with is a diabetic med that is also used for women with pcos. I was on the birth control for several months and then went off in hope of getting pregnant. I too, feel tired all of the time and still have no luck on getting pregnant. GOOD LUCK TO YOU

I'm in the same situation... I used to have a cycle every few months, and now I don't have one at all. I went to the doctor a while back and they put me on several medications including metformin, but I would like to go a more natural route. I hate being on a lot of medicines with side effects. I'm researching and trying vitamins and horomones... Will update and let you know if anything works.

Proposed UNH logos prompt student backlash: Some question through social media why design proposal process wasn't open to students
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
DURHAM — The three concepts of a new University of New Hampshire logo have been met with overwhelming response, much of which has been disappointment from students and alumni.
The second concept builds on the idea of initials and pushes the letters "NH" closer together encased within the letter "U."
But that design has generated some confusion leaving at least one student to question, "What is UVF?" on the site and others to concur.
The third image depicts the fact that the university is one of few in the country to hold sea, land and space grants, another that was displeasing to students.
In protest, a campaign is encouraging students to change their profile pictures on Facebook to the current Thompson Hall image.
Student body President Bryan Merrill has reportedly promised students to do his best to have every voice heard regarding the logos before a final decision is made in the hopes administrators will take students' opinions into consideration.
Attempts to reach Merrill were unsuccessful Monday.
During the presentation, designers said a lot of time was spent getting input from the entire student body.
Erika Mantz, director of media relations for the school, said there have been hundreds of responses to the logos and that the majority of those responses have been positive, though officials are still in the process of gathering information and no final decisions have been made at this point.
But presenting the designs to a larger group was done during a busy time in the academic year.
"The decision to share the designs more widely was made very late in the academic year, at a time when students were focused on exams," she said.
The Student Senate has suggested surveying students following commencement and Mantz said administrators agree that would be a good plan.
The official design is anticipated to be unveiled in the fall.

The pots and pans were great for about 6 months. After that I started noticing black flecks in the boiling water or in my food. After happening several times and inspecting the pans, the non-stick coating was already peeling off. I called the service center to question the warranty and was told they only guarantee products for 90 days, after that you own it. Way to stand behind your products Kenmore, no more Kenmore products for me!

I can cook with this cookware set without worries and even I dont need to stay in the kitchen all the time watching the food so to not let it burn. The cookware set is very good that I can do other things while the food it is cooking. And since I've had the cookware set I had no problems. My problems are gone and I'm more than relieved in my kitchen. Thanks for your time.

Bought this set and just now have had it 2 years and the so-called nonstick coating is coming off the pans and the pots! I have never used them in extreme temps nor put them in the dishwasher (I washed these by hand) - do not buy, they do not last, now I am stuck buying a new set of pans!!

I purchased this set because it seemed to be a good value considering I have spent far more on Tfal in the past however this is a case of you get what you pay. The non stick surface only lasted through approximately five uses and after that food would stick terribly even if sprayed with a non stick spray, The pans also bend very easily, my three year old dropped one of the pans and it bent so badly the lid would no longer fit. Plus when you stir something the interior coating chips off into your food and that is with the use of a plastic spoon. I would definitely recommend spending a little more to get a better quality set which is exactly what I am going to do!
