Hi ladies! first time here! 
My fiancé and I are going to start trying for a child - well, more to let things go natural. I was diagnosed with PCOS several years ago after finally deciding to see a gynae to solve my period problem since I was a teenager. I was put on Yasmin but I felt sick from it before changing to Mercilon and I have been on it ever since (about 7 years). It did wonders for my skin, though i piled on some weight and felt really bloated, it was ok. On top of PCOS, my hormones are inverted, whereby my testosterone level was higher hence the pcos.
Recently, I changed a gynae and was told that I was ovulating at all and it would be tough to get pregnant. So I was told to go off the pill. Anyway, it has been about 5 months since i went off the pill but my body is in a whack! I've gained weight soo easily (I was told by the doctor that it could happen), and i have a crazy outbreak of cystic acne for months on end.
Sorry for the long background... my usual skin doctor at raffles hospital moved to the States and now I'm looking for a good skin doctor/dermatologist to visit. Anyone experienced similar problems and/or have a skin doctor to recommend? Thank you so much!!!!!!
