Newbie here. Anyone have PCOS but no cysts? Had laparoscopy on Tuesday and...
doc said no cysts whatsoever, but I have large ovaries (5cm versus 3cm). Also said I'm on the "severe" side of PCOS since my androgen levels were very elevated (in 12/02 testosterone was 140, now it's 50 b/c I'm on BCP). Free testerone is within normal limits and no insulin resistance. I'm bummed. Not TTC now, but I'm 33 and want to try next year. Any encouraging words?
I get cystic "grapes" a funny way my doc put it....and they seem to rupture all at the same time.. landed me in the er 2x in the past 4 months.......after they rupture theres nothing left for awhile then boom and boom lol, hurts like hell.
The way I understood it, was that the "cysts" are inside the ovary, which makes them enlarged. They can't really see them with a lap. I recently had one done also, and I was so upset because he didn't find anything. But after he told me that, it made me feel better. I was beginning to think there was something else wrong with me. HTH... :p

Nope you are not alone that was me also. Didn't have any cysts but the large ovaries and lots of the other symptoms.
