1. At what age were you diagnosed: 28
2. At what age did you start showing signs of having no period or no ovulation: When I was 18-20 I wouldn't have a period for months at a time, but my doctor said that was due to my low body fat (12% at that time). So he put me on birth control pills to regulate my cycles. When I stopped taking birth control pills 7 yrs later, my cycles were irregular again (and my body fat is at 23% now).
3. Which of the following symptoms do you have: Yes or no
a. Weight gain - no
b. Acne - no
c. Insulin resistance - no
d. Anovulation/Amenorrhea - yes
e. High cholesterol/triglycerides - no
f. Hair in unwanted places: no
g. Hair loss - no
h. "String of pearl" cysts on ovaries (these are multiple small cysts) - yes
4. Do you have children? no
5. Have you ever had a BFP (feel free to not answer if this is too sensitive)? no
6. Do you get positives on ovulation predictor kits? only when I'm on medicine that induces ovulation (Menopur, Clomid). So I guess that doesn't count.
7. What treatments are you on or have you tried? I'm currently taking 2000 mg of Metformin, and had 2 cycles of injections along w/Clomid, a trigger, and 2 IUIs.
8. Have you ever been labeled as mild or severe PCOS by your doctors? mild
