Exclamation Could I have PCOS???

I will start from the begining. I went on birth control at a young age to regulate my period and help with the cramps because I was cramping so bad at times that it would make me go into the fetal position. I was on that for about 2 years and then after I got of it my periods began to skip again. I would get one then skip get a couple more than skip and so on. That happened all the way up until jan of this year. I got one in Jan and then nothing. I havent had one since then. I went to the doc in april and she said it was because of my weight. I have always been heavy so I knew it wasnt. She did a thyroid test and a testosterone test and her nurse said that the doc said everything looked fine and that she wanted me to loss some weight and come back in 3 months. Ok fine is what I thought. Well about a week later I began to cramp and it at times became overwhelming. At times not being able to sleep because of it. I also spotted 5 times that month and once in early may. Seems like the last 6-7 months I am always so tired. Just plain worn out. Well on May 5th I went to a diff doc and told him what was going on and he immediatley mentioned pcos. So he gave me some progesterone pills to start my period. He thinks I have it and wants me to do a vaginal ultrasound. Me and my husband both think I have it. What do you think?

Here are my symptoms:

1- no period for 4 months and skipping before that
2- overwhelming pelvic pain
3- hair on chin, bottom, back, toes, knuckles, stomach
4- oily skin
5- acne
6- spotting between periods
7- sleep apnea
8- overweight
9- infertility
10- dandruff


What do you think? Any advice would be helpful and much appreciated. Thanks so much.
