I am sooo happy I found this web-site! I was surfing around the internet for PCOS and I ran into the SoulCysters site last night and have been reading some of the posts, and this is just brilliant. I have not yet been diagnosed with PCOS, however, from all the research I did on my own, I know it is what I have, just yesterday my doctor told me from the ultrasound I did, that I have cysts on my ovaries, and it can only be 1 of three things: endometriosis, ovarian cancer, or PCOS. I have the skin tags and a excessive hair. HERE is my question...the only symptoms I have are the excess hair (it covers my entire torso...terminal hairs between my breast, on my neck and cheeks, but its not too bad to where I have to shave, I can wax; it covers my back and butt....ewww...its so embarrassing. So I don't have a hormone imbalance, I don't have irregular periods either, not overweight...so other than the skin tags and hair, I dont have any problems....can I still have PCOS or do you have to have hormone imbalances and irregular periods?? Thanks for all the help!

Welcome to SC!
Every Cyster has different symptoms. Some have all of the symptoms, while other have just a few. I would say that it sounds like you do have PCOS.
I also have regular periods, am slightly overweight (about 20 lbs), have skin tags, hair on my torso & chin/jaw, and ultra sounds show cysts on my left ovary.
I still think that they are caused by an imbalance, hormonal or otherwise.
Take a look around the site. There is a lot of fantastic information.
