Have a medical check up to rule out any possible problems, then look at your lifestyle - healthy diet, exercise, etc.

my daughter is like you, she is 13. she has polycystic overies. do you have irregular/heavy periods or none at all? do you have spots? do you suffer headaches? do you have bad PMT? these are just a few of the symptoms. ask your doctor for a blood test also check for diabetis and iron levels.

a lot has to do with metabolism not just genes....your metabolism could be slower.... just exercising could help speed your metabolism.
