Has your doctor tested you for PCOS?

They can tell by blood test and its confirmed by ultrasound. Can't hurt to ask to be tested.

Na, I always just thought I was being a hypochondriac lol.

I dont know much about it but I've not had any other symptoms that I've heard of.

I have to go to the doctors for some other stuff sometime soon so I'll try to remember to ask about it then.

LOL dont worry thats how i felt EVERY time i saw a doctor when my AF didnt show and i wasnt pregnant!

The annoying thing about this condition is you can just have one or two of the symptoms. Some women have them all while others only have the irregular cycle.

I noticed things changed when my AF became irregular, i gained 15kgs in 3 weeks, noticed hair growing in places it shouldn't and the cramping. I saw doctor after doctor and was told it was all normal and it would fix itself and then it wasn't until i had excruiating pains in my belly at work last June that a doctor diagnosed me with having PCOS, the extreme weight gain was caused by an insulin resistance the tests showed it was 3 times what it should be and my doctor wondered why i wasn't a size 24! so gaining only 20kgs in 3 years was good considering...

It really cant hurt to ask and if not they can atleast see what they can do for you.
