". . . .
With your history of infrequent menstruation, you may have a condition of either polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or a stress-like hypothalamic anovulation. In either case, birth control pills are a good treatment for those conditions if you do not want to get pregnant at present. . . ."

I just wanted to post this, because ever since I read this article, I've been wondering if a stress-like hypothalamic anovulation is more what my problem is--and now that there is an actual test for PCOS, I'm wondering that if I had this test, that maybe they would decide that I actually don't have PCOS. I may never know though, because it's so hard for me to afford doctor's appointments. I don't know if anyone else suspects this...?
