^Me too. My only symptom was excess hair, although none of it was COARSE and thick, but it troubled me anyway. Had I not gone to the doctor I'd still have no idea. But in the past few months I had been getting my period on time; for months before that I had no periods. I was suffering bad depression and the doctor said 'your period will come back when you relax'. Since I've been exercising and eating healthy (none of which I did before) my period is back. This makes me think I CAN control my body. I used to get a long black hair on my neck that hasn't come back since I changed my eating habits and got active.

I think women can go undiagnosed for years. Unless something troubles her, she won't see a doctor. As I said if not for the hair, I wouldn't have gone at all. I know we dont know what causes PCOS but I am sure mine is linked somehow to stress- I've read alot how stress can mess up hormones. When I say stress I mean STRESS. BAD STRESS. And depression. Eating disorders have to have a similar effect on hormones - this is what makes me sure that Hollywood isn't PCOS free.
