Barbara, I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and don't ovulate on my own. Every body is different and there are different levels that you can have it.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is usually diagnosed by hormone tests and a glucose tolerance test. The appearance of polycystic ovaries doesn't actually mean that you have PCOS, just as it is possible to have all the signs and symptoms of PCOS and normal ovaries.
The statistics are around 1 in 4 women have polycystic ovaries and it doesnt cause any issues at all in terms of them falling pregnant.
Ultrasounds can not be used alone in terms of diagnosing PCOS.
There needs to be 2 out of the 3 symptoms found for it to be assessed as PCOS. The 3 things are:
1. Periods which are irregular (less than around 6 each year)
2. Blood Tests which show high male hormones
3. Polycystic ovaries
Speak to your ob about doing some more test if you are concerned.
Best of luck!
