Well tomorrow i am going to see a ob specialist i have not yet been dignosed with pcos i have all the symptoms. My reg ob is sending me to see why i wasn't gettin my period. but since may i have been getting it should i still go and also i just found out my insulin level is a lil high i do always feel tired and have no energy should i bring that up with this doc to see if he can give me something for it(but wounldn't the doc have said something about it if she wanted to give me something) or should i just leave it alone? Should i even go to the ob specialist now that i am gettin my period? please give me some feed back!

hey, good luck tomorrow. i think you should still go even though you started. it can be so sporatic with pcos plus it might be something else that needs medical attention. don't ignore high sugars. have your doctor do a fasting sugar check on you one morning when you haven't had anything to eat/drink for several hours. that will give you an accurate reading. sugars can sometimes be a little above normal in the middle of the day (after eating esp!) out of curiosity..what was your blood sugar number?

Yep, still go. You're going to want to make sure you're ovulating. Many women with pcos have periods, but they don't actually ovulate.

If you 'don't' have PCOS, it's still a good idea to have a doctor put some thought into why you weren't having your period until recently.

thanks for the feed back i am not sure what the levels were they did do that test where i couldn't eat anything and thats how i found out my insulin levels were a lil above normal but i guess its not bad to where i need medicine but i am always tired and have no energy. Not sure if i am ovulating but i already have 2 lil girls and i have my tubes tied so thats one thing i am not worried about and another thing i am worried about is i have been gaining alot of weight lately i have hypothyriodism, last nite i noticed my legs were a lil swollen and my hand too!
