am new here. Am glad i found this place. I was dignosed in May of these year. The doctor said i had it and she send me for test and a sonagram.. When the came back everything looked good. She was checking to make sure they were doing what they are to do and not scaring. Does that mean I have PCOS and everything is ok because she don't put me on any medicine or anything.
Here is a little about me....

Just turned 27 in October
155-160 pounds
Hair falling out a little at a time but that ok hair is really thick
acne
What did your dr say. You did say she diagnosed you with PCOS? What was she checking, your cysts? I am surprised that she hasn't put you on any meds, you should ask her about that. My dr. says that if it goes untreated, some symptoms just get worse. You should definately make a list of question, do some research and talk to the wonderful women here. Go back into her office and ask for some answers. You deserve the best care! According to my dr I've probably had PCOS since puberty, except I wasn't dx or treated until I was 30!!! Trust me, the symptoms do get worse, or for me they did.
If you ever need to talk, I'm here for ya. It can be tough sorting through all the information and dealing with it all. If you ever need to talk, you can PM me any time and I'm on yahoo messenger.
Oh, thank you! These women here are the best people I have ever met. They are the kindest and sweetest people around. I really hope you get what your looking for here. I found a lot of answers to my questions by exploring the threads.
What blood tests did she run? You should be checked for thyroid problems, cushings disease, diabetes, liver enzyme levels, cholesterol levels and insulin resistance. Many docs overlook PCOS, especially the lighter cases. You don't have to have cysts to have PCOS. Just because all your tests came back normal doesn't mean you don't have PCOS.
