Question Wondering if I have PCOS

Hi, My name is Mandy. I have been tested for PCOS before via bloodwork and I also had a vaginal ultrasound done. Bloodwork came back ok and the ultrasound showed no cysts on my ovaries. I am extremely worried though because I have a lot of the symptoms of PCOS (skin tags, excess hair, acne, excess weight, dark skin under my arms and in the groin area). My husband and I are trying to conceive and I am really worried that I won't be able to conceive. How do I go about finding the proper professional to diagnose me? Thanks for all your help, I greatly appreciate it.

Welcome to SC! Be sure to introduce yourself on the Trying To Conceive Board. Feel free to ask questions on the TTC or pregnancy or mommy boards.

It can be hard finding a good doctor. My GP told me I had PCOS, but did no tests. I went to my GYN who ran blood tests (most of which were normal), but did no ultrasound. If you are trying to get pregnant a reproductive endocrinologist is probably the doctor to see. They specialize in such things. Not all REs are the same. Some are better at diagnosing and treatment than others.
