Hi..I'm new here.

I was diagnosed "officially" today....maybe...

History- 43 y.o., diabetic (age 16), high bp (several years ago), high cholesterol (last year), infertility (3 yrs. ago), thyroid disease, t-shaped uterus NOT associated with DES exposure

Some body hair (I'm Greek, assumed it was heredity). Lose lots of hair when I take a shhower, but I have a lot, so never thought much about it.

No period for 7 months. Assumed it was menopause.

I have one dr. (endocrinologist) telling me I have pcos. I have had tests in the past, during fertility treatments, that showed that I don't. My gynecologist says that I don't. My endo says tests are not conclusive and I have too many arrows pointing to PCOS

I don't know what to do. I am scared now, of not having a period for 7 mos. I fear cancer, and heart attack (my Father had a massive coronary at 45).

I am having a pelvic ultrasound January 6th. I've had several in the past while trying to conceive, so I know what to expect. I just called my gyno to update her and her nurse seemed miffed that I didn't go to her office, and she said she doesn't think I have pcos at all. I am so confused, and meanwhile, no periods. I'm definitely having the ultrasound, but all I can think of is that I waited too long assuming it was menopause, and now God only knows what is going to happen.

I already take SIX prescriptions for all of the different disorders I have, with a brand new one given to me today for the cholesterol. I don't know how much more I can handle.

I appreciate this website...I hope to at least find some peace of mind here. Thanks for listening

I assume you took some pregnancy tests just in case, right?

Welcome to SC! Sorry things are so baffling for you right now. I am sure the ultrasound will help. Best of luck!
