Find a doctor who will give you answers! I had to go through 4 doctors before i got a diagnosis 3 weeks ago. All of the other doctors kind of brushed me off when I suggested i had PCOS, they really didn't take me seriously. But finally I said enough is enough, and I went into the last doctor determined to get answers. I went prepared with a list of my symptoms, a chart of my irregular cycle, I hadn't plucked any chin hairs, and I asked for blood test and a vaginal ultrasound. I know it seems bossy, but I knew if I didn't take control of this situation myself, no one else would.

I wish you the best.
