I was diagnosed in 2000 with PCOS and was told that because at the time I was not in a long term relationship and not wanting to get pregnant, that we should just leave it be. Doc changed my pill script to, I think, Diane (Can't remember, been off it for two years). This apparently helps control the symptoms. I had a internal ultrasound which showed cysts and blood work confirmed.
Anyway, after visting a FS in mid '06 she doubted that I actually had PCOS but did more blood work and another internal ultrasound. My sister is a midwife at the hospital and asked one of her friends (another FS) what the results meant and was told that I was PCOS however when I went for my appt with my FS, she said that I was borderline not PCOS. I have the cysts, the suitable blood work but few of the symptoms (ie excess body hair, extremely painful periods). I have found it extremely difficult to loose weight and I have very irregular ovulation.
I underwent a HSG and even more blood work and we are getting ready to start clomid in a few weeks and am hoping that this does the trick.
My question is: Anybody else out there part of the cyst-a-hood? Any hints to share?
