The PCO mailing list (PCO@lists.best.com) is a mailing list run by and for people with an interest in PCO, also known as "Polycystic Ovaries", "Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome" or "Polycystic Ovarian Disease". If you have just subscribed, welcome! You should receive your first bulletin within the next few days.

The messages sent to pco@lists.best.com are automatically saved on the lists.best.com server, and are combined and sent out whenever there are 8 messages waiting, or once every four days, whichever comes first. That way, you only receive one larger e-mail every few days, instead of several little e-mails every day. If you believe you have subscribed correctly and have not received your first bulletin within the next 4 days, please send an e-mail to mclark@solved.com.

This mailing list is open to absolutely anyone, male or female, who has an interest in this condition.

We wish to make it clear that ALL topics related to PCO are welcome here. Since PCO often affects a woman's fertility, many conversations here center on fertility. But we like VARIETY in our conversations! So we are just as interested in discussing weight gain, acne, birth control pills, breast feeding, anti-androgen drugs like spironolactone, herbal remedies, how to talk to your family about PCO, how to find the right doctor, nutrition, exercise, ovarian drilling, wedge resection, and nearly every other topic you can imagine that's even vaguely related to PCO. We also *encourage* discussions on the topic of pregnancy (several of our current subscribers are expecting babies within the next few months. Hooray!). Good news or bad news, feel free to share it!

This message goes out both to new subscribers and to anyone who requests Info on this list. If you have not yet subscribed, and would like to, please just send a simple e-mail message to:

And if you're confused and need help or more information, please send an e-mail to mclark@solved.com. Thanks!
