I am 33 and have had PCOS for at least 17 years, I knew I had it, but was only "officially" diagnosed 3 years ago. I have spent many many hours researching this syndrome and have finally found a way to control it. I wish I had found this book years ago! It is up to date and covers all the symptoms of the syndrome, some you may not even be aware were linked. It not only discusses infertility, but the long term implications of PCOS. It has an excellent reference section at the back, and the only way it could be better is if it included references for the UK. There is hope for PCOS sufferers, from dealing with excess body hair to blood pressure and heart disease, it's all here. Find comfort and know that help is now at hand.

I was diagnosed with PCOS nearly a year ago, and have found out quite a bit about it, but I still found this book very helpful. The section that explains the menstrual cycle as it should be and as it is in PCOS sufferers was very well written, using plain english and easy to folow explainations. The Symtoms Section certainly revealed new information for me, but I would have liked the section on Alternative Treatments to have been expanded as that is the way I have chosen to treat my PCOS. I also thought the sections on the Emotional Impact and the Hope for the Future were very positively written. For those of us living in the UK the Resources section isn't relavant but with so much information available on the internet that isn't a problem. All-in-all a very informative book.

If this had been available ten years ago it would have helped me a great deal. I feel the book would have been more useful if the medical references to the material had been included so that your GP can confirm the information more quickly.
