Why wonder? If your doctor suspects, make an appt. and have the necessary bloodwork done.

I am surprised that he/she didn't run BW to confirm and give you a ref. for a sonogram. I would definitely request both if you haven't already. I could be PCOS or Hypothyroid also.

You might have to get more aggressive with your doctor. I've found that I had to anyway. It might be pcos, but it could be something else. And if it is pcos, you'll want to start thinking about treatment. You might want to go back to your doctor and ask her to get you an ultrasound.
Your doctor may not know a lot about pcos (many don't, it seems). If you do have pcos, You really have to be your own advocate and that sometimes means demanding tests, demanding referrals and educating yourself the best you can. You'll find a lot of info around here. Good luck!

I agree... you may want to get a little more aggresive with your doctor and if he is she is not willing to provide you with answers, you may want to consider looking for a new one. I recommend an Endo to start and also have your OB do a transvaginal ultrasound. Ohhh, and request copies of your BW.
