Default Another newbie introduction

I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself and my story. Hope that's ok

I'm as yet undiagnosed, but I have been symptomatic for at least ten years. I pretty much have all the symptoms on the list except cycle issues . My cycles are regular as clockwork and always have been but my dermatologist (who I was seeing for breakouts, excess facial hair and thinning regular hair) suggested I go see a doctor in her practice who was studying endocrinology and that doctor ordered some bloodwork. My levels were "slightly off" with I think a slightly high free testosterone (it's been so long I can't even remember) but again - no cycle issues. Then before I could go any further I got pregnant (it was a happy thing but unplanned) so that fizzled out because obviously I had no fertility issues.

Anyway - sorry for the rambling but wanted to give some background. I finally got fed up with the symptoms and got a referral to another endo who I saw today and she ordered bloodwork and a pelvic U/S - so at least I feel like some progress is being made. This site has been very informative and helpful.
