These are links and resources that I have found valuable over the years. I make sure I check back occasionally as there have been some new studies that have changed how I manage my PCOS. Never stop researching!

http://www.soulcysters.com/Welcome to SoulCysters.com, the largest online community of women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder of women, affecting as many as 1 in 10. While there is no cure for PCOS, the symptoms of PCOS can be managed with proper treatment by a qualified PCOS physican.
Here, at SoulCysters.com, we also believe that we help each other through the PCOS journey. Many of our members have become lifelong friends, helped each other lose weight, and kept up with the birth of our children (yes, you CAN get pregnant with PCOS!)
If you're new to PCOS or SoulCysters.com, take your time browsing the site, but 't forget to check in at the PCOS Message Board (that's where all the Soul Cysters are hanging out!)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001408/Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition in which there is an imbalance of a woman's female sex hormones. This hormone imbalance may cause changes in the menstrual cycle, skin changes, small cysts in the ovaries, trouble getting pregnant, and other problems.
http://www.pcosupport.org/Formed in 1987, PCOSupport is an all-volunteer grass-roots organization that is operated by women with PCOS and those who support them. This organization is dedicated to serve the many women who struggle on a daily basis to deal with quality-of-life as well as life-threatening consequences of PCOS if untreated. We celebrate the many victories over the PCOS condition that have been achieved by working together and sharing information on the management of PCOS, not just at the symptomatic level but at its very core. We offer hope to those who feel alone and isolated, as PCOS is known to affect between 5 and 10% of the female population from puberty through the end of life.
http://women.webmd.com/tc/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-topic-overviewWhat is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (say "pah-lee-SIS-tik OH-vuh-ree SIN-drohm") is a problem in which a woman’s hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant. PCOS may also cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it is not treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.
