I've just been diagnosed with PCOS based on my ultrasound and anovulation/amenorrhea... but I don't (thank god!) have any weight gain or hirsuteness. At first I felt relieved to be spared this side of things... but now I'm worried I'll get fat and hairy some time in the future. Does anyone know if this happens? Do I even have PCOS if I don't have symptoms? Any answers will be much appreciated...

HI there~

Did your doc order any blood tests? What are your hormone levels? Are you IR? What about the ultrasound confirmed PCOS? These are all questions you should talk to your doc about.

You can have PCOS without having all they symptoms. For instance, I am "fat and hairy", have major AF problems, but I am not IR, nor do I have ovarian cysts, and my hormone levels are all normal. There are many cysters who are thin and not hairy, some with cysts and without. You don't have to have all the symptoms to have PCOS.

Good luck and welcome to the board.
