P-COS here.

How bizarre? I have never heard P-Cos before...
*hugs*

P-cos here too :) Not 100% sure I had p-cos itself, sometimes the dr spoke of just P-C-O for me. hehe
Yeah all the Dr's I've ever seen have said PCO or PCOS not Pee-Cos...
I find this very interesting :D
What a great question Cherie :D
*hugs*

Oohh, so a bit of both ...
I've always assumed that it's pronounced p-cos, but both my OB's have pronounced it pee-cee-ohh-ess, so I wondered if I was the only one.
Thankfully I'm not :)
So who's right? LOL the dr's or the patients ;) Would love to know if any Dr's say it?
*hugs*

Hmm... interesting... I've never really paid much attention to what the doctors call it. I'll have to start taking notes on what they say.

I pronounce it polly-sis-tick-oh-vary-sin-drome. The doctor for whom I used to work would say "pee-see-oh", "pee-see-oh-ess" or "pee-cos"... or polycystic ovary syndrome. Usually it was the long version and then "her condition" or something similar after that.
I've always said "pee coss".
Reminds me a bit of "ICSI" actually. Before I met other people on IVF I would have said "eye see ess eye" but now I know it's "ick-see".
Funny, isn't it?
My FS calls it ick-see, too! (and hence, so do I!)

I always called it the initials names Pee Cee Ohh Ess, and would have called ICSI as eye see ess eye until I've now been educated!
I always said pee-see-oh-ess but one doctor called it P-Coss and i laughed and thought he was uneducated!! haha
Depends on who you ask ;):
BTW - I've always said "ick-si" too, not "eye-see-ess-eye". Maybe I'm just a lazy talker. I'm pretty sure my FS pronounced it ick-si too though.
