I have just found this and really appreciate all the info you gals provide.
I am 22 and newlywed, after monitoring my irregular cycles for monthes, and countless pregnancy tests my doctor believes i have PCOS, I have had blood tests for follicle stim. hormones, insulin and some other things, and have a ultra sound schecduled for next thurs. I am now doing a low carb diet to try and lower my triglycerides, and exercise more(UGHH) I would like to know if any of you have the symptoms of scalp hair loss, thinning and if you treated it, how?

I'm sorry I can't help because that's not one of my symptoms but I just wanted to say Welcome!!

I had some serious hair thinning after the birth of my child. More than the norm, they say it was from the PCOS. I treated it by using Nixon Shampoo and conditioner AND they have me on Progesterone 21 days of every month to help regulate my cycles.. My hair has come back amazingly. I never realized before how thing it was until now.

Good luck. It did take a while for things to start growing back (probably 6 months) but they did.
