Hello,
My name is Bethany. I am 26 and was diagnosed with PCOS in January of this year.
I've been reading all the information on the forums (it could take me months to get through it all. ) I have a question. I was diagnosed with PCOS through an ultrasound. There was no blood test or anything like that... Is that normal?

welcome to sc yes, there is sooo much to read/learn here. i got dx with an ultrasound and blood tests. But im in the uk, so im not sure if things are done differently here.

Bethany,
I was diagnosed with one blood test, to rule out hypothyroidism, and an ultrasound. I would suggest talking to your doctor to see about getting some bloodwork done, to check your hormone levels and such. You definitely want to rule out hypothyroidism since it can resemble PCOS sometimes.

HTH.

i too have been diagnosed with an ultrasound and now i have been asked to visit a gynaecologist. i would like to have gone and seen one tomorrow but it does not work like that in london. so i have to go on the 14th of this month. i am going to try the cinnamon and honey remedy.

I did have a test for hypothyroidism through a different place and that was negative. (totally forgot about that until you mentioned that splashsmama) They referred me to my current doctor. I do think I am going to make an appointment with my current doctor for sometime this month and ask about things like insulin resistance and that sort of thing. I am taking the pill, but I have serious cravings for sweets and nearly every night I wake up between 1 or 4 to eat something. (always sweets).
I just feel like if my problem is partially insulin resistance or diabetes or something like that then I would really like to work on treating it instead of ignoring it.
I think I am do for an appointment anyway because I am pretty sure I don't have any refills left on the pill.
