Hey all...
Bit of a story here...
since I can remember i have had VERY irregular periods (sometimes 1 a year!), i have always had fairly bad skin although at the moment its not too bad. never had too much hair but what i do is coarse and dark. very oily skin/hair. sweating. weight gain!
Anyway one day i found a magazine article which made me realise PCOS symptoms sounded just like me! off i trotted to the doctors to get fixed... he sent me for a blood test to see if i had it and that came back negative but he said plenty are negative in positive PCOS cases. he recommended i go for a ultrasound as this would be a more of an indication. at the ultrasound the technician said she couldn't see anything and a blood test would be better?!!!??!!
Back at the drs he said he still thinks i have it but with 2neg results he couldn't confirm. and wasnt prepared to do any more tests... i said i would like to know though but he got shirty and said why do i need to know as i am not planning on children yet!!
i dont want kids yet but would like to know what is going on!
anyone else had similar issues and What should i do??
