Hi, Im so depressed, the doctor tells me I might have PCOS. This is what my symptoms are:

1. Im 17 years old and Im obese
2. I have very thin hair,
3. I dont have regulary periods, sometimes like 2 months or 6 weeks like that
4. I suffer from acne

I always woundered why I have less hair, I always thought it was genes but my mum and her sisters have long and thick hair. I suffer from acne, it wasn't severe but i may get it in a while, nothing to be embarrased about but when it was on my nose, I got embarrased. I didnt start my period since I was 15-16. I notice my periods wasn't regular, it was alway late, one time I had it after 2 months. But I didn't get worried. I normally went to the doctor becuase of my wieght, my dad was telling me I should go. I told them about my periods, I had a blood test. When my results came back they said something about my hormones, cant remeber what. Then I didn't go to the doctor, as I was so busy, started to go gym, but didin't have time due to college. I didn't understand, with all the exercising why I cant lose weight. I went to the doctor today. I talked with her, she took my blood pressure and wieght. She thinks I might have PCOS and I might get diabetes in the next 5-10 years. I didn't really understand PCOS that much. She also suggested I take a ultrasound, which I thought was wierd. There I sat thinking, Im might have PCOS and diabetes, I just wanted to burst out and cry. I been really depressed lately and the doctor thinks I may suffer from migranes which I been experiencing pain at one side of my head. I just want to know can PCOS stop you from leading a normal life, can it stop you from becoming pregnant.

Also if I do have PCOS, I wont know until I had the ultrasound and bloodtest, and I get PCOS treated, will i have thick hair again becuase my hair is very thin, when i brush it and I see my scalp, also will my acne dissappear?

Everything makes sense, all my symptoms match PCOS, acne, hair loss, wieght - obesity, iegular periods.

Also can someone tell me how will they perform the ultrasound, I read they stick somethick in your vagina?

hi
welcome to sc Threre are different types of ultrasound. Sometimes it's done over your stomach - from the outside. I have had internal ones, but i dont know which your dr would do for you. feel free to pm me if you want
