Please can you help/tell me where i can find a comprehensive list of PCOS symptoms?
I have been on lots of websites over the last few months and everyone i have been on gives different symptoms and states how many symptoms you need to have PCOS.
I have irregular periods- about every 83 days and have cysts on my ovaries. I've not yet been tested for IR but hope to be next month when i visit the gyne. I am a thin cyster, i am 5'7" and weigh about 10 stone wth a BMI of 22.2.
What are your symptoms??
Thanks you all for your help and advice
xx
ps i posted this a few days ago in the general forum but did not get a response.

i cant tell you where to get a full list, its hard cuz they still dont know alot about pcos to know exactly what is what with it. everyone seems to display different symptoms to different degrees and some have mild cases and some suffer terribly from all of them.
my specific symptoms are exhaustion, abnormal hair growth, inability to lose weight (although im trying different diets now), strange/random periods with months in between, acne, abdominal pain (for no reason, and not always considered a symptom it seems), a couple small cysts, lh/fsh levels, and im currently being tested for diabetes and cholestoral issues. will know more on that next week. apparently the symptoms are common for other ailments so make sure your doctor is thorough about tests and rules everything else out. hope that helps. take care!
I am in the same situation as Heather! Almost all the same symptoms! For years I was on the depo shot and thought that was why I didn't have a period come to find out I have a severe case of PCOS! I am also a thin cyster, but I gain a few pounds here and there and it seems harder and harder to get rid of it! Everyone's symptoms seem to vary. I can't seem to have a period at all without the help of drugs (from the dr of course lol!) With some help I am now pregnant and still have light cramps because of cyst still growing on my ovaries So I agree, let them test for everything, first then you can pretty well asssume its because of the pcos! Hope this helped a little.

My personal symptoms are Cystic Ovaries, Irrergular/no periods. When I do have my periods heavy bleeding and extreme cramping. Pregnant belly 24/7. No ovulation. Tired all the time, and my other side effects are caused by the meds i believe. I think there is a link with everyones symptoms. Symptoms vary from person to person. I just woke up im sorry i cant think of anything else atm lol. I will repost if i can. Oo, and my blood work is abnormal, My Lh to Fhs ration is 7:1 my testosterone is a little elevated, and i think that is all.

Hi - my only symptoms are irregular periods and cystic ovaries - and that seems enough to be diagnosed as pcos. I don't have any other "common" pcos symptoms either. Good luck with your next GYN visit!

My personal symptoms include irregular periods, ovarian cysts, abnormal hair growth and lack of sex drive. Occasionally I suffer from abdominal pain, but I don't know if that's related or not. I don't know where a comprehensive list is, I can't seem to find one either!
cysts on my ovaries
depression
bleeding constantly but does go the other way where i dont
occassional period
heavy bleeds and clots due to a build up of not having a period each month
not sleeping
Symptoms- What are yours?? 
So I agree, let them test for everything, first then you can pretty well asssume its because of the pcos! Hope this helped a little.
