Hello there! I'm Jess and I'm 15 years old. I'm almost positive I have PCOS although I haven't yet visited a doctor about it. I have symptoms such as increased facial and body hair growth(torso,knuckles,feet,you name it), acne(since I could sweat!), and weight issues(though I'm working on it...). I've recently noticed a few spots which I believe to be skin tags. I've had an irregular history of menstrual cycles, also. Last year a couple of my periods started getting heavier and lasting for 10 days. My next couple of periods were the lightest I've ever had. After that my period completely stopped for seven months, and I've only just gotten it back in mid-May. I can't tell yet whether or not it is regular again. I've tried to tell my mother about all this, but she doesn't take me very seriously as she has never even heard of PCOS. Is there any advice you could give me about getting this checked out? Should I make an appointment with a gynecologist? Also, what should I expect on the visit? Thanks so much if you read all or any of this, I really appreciate it!
