Hi. I am going to the fertility specialist tomorrow. I have been through the ringer with doctors and lack a clear diagnosis... I have also been on BCP since the age of 14 and am now 28 because of a terribly irregular period. Later attempts to go off the pill have resulted in acne, oily skin, and no periods... I also had a recent ultrasound that revealed multiple cysts on both ovaries. My question is - do I tell the doctor about initial symptoms I had when I first got my period? Like how they felt and initial hair growth. Because on the BCP, I have no symptoms (clear skin, no hair growth, and am thin now) so it feels like I am crying wolf. And, it feels like that is what doctors think to - as they are quick to dismiss me with just keep taking BCP. Thanks!!
