there are apparently two types - polycystic ovaries, which may or may not be accompanied by the range of symptoms, and polycysic ovarian syndrome, which is the full-blown thing. i have the multiple cysts, the facial hair, and tendency to weight gain if i don't stick to a high-protein/low carb/no sugar diet, but i can still conceive. ATM i have a 44mm cyst on my left ovary and am 10kg overweight from a m/c in February, but still i'm preggers till the BT this afternoon tells me otherwise. i got a on the 26/6 but i don't think this is a sticky one either.
