I was diagnosed to have Polycystic ovaries. I bleed every month, I am of a perfect healthy fit weight, no acne, no extra facial hair non of the symptoms associated...although they say not all women develop these classic symptoms.





I have also been pregnant (although we lost the baby at 22weeks).....but upon seeing a fertility specialist (after trying again for a year)and undergoing an ultrasound...there they were like a string of pearls around each of my ovaries. I have eight on my left an six on my right.





An ultra sound will I'm sure guarantee whether or not you have this,you can still fall pregnant but it reduces the chances a bit.Goodluck.
Reply:Get a 2nd opinion. Medically it's a common sense thing to make sure.
Reply:get a second opinion and ask for an ultrasound and a blood test of your hormones as well trust me i have polycystic ovaries but not polycystic ovarian syndrome..............get me.


take care and let me know who you go. cheers
Reply:I'm guessing you're about 22, right? Well, just so you know, the ONLY PCOS symptom I had at that age was annovulation. If read enough, you'll see that as you approach 30, then 40, the symptoms can really add up. It wasn't until after my DD's birth when I was 30 that I started losing my hair (male pattern), had awful skin tags, got hirsutism (extra "male" hair), gained weight, etc.





The only issue in my 20's was not being able to get pg. At age 32 I was also diagnosed with insulin resistance, which also comes along "later" with PCOS.





I think it's *wonderful* that your gyn is being so proactive with this. Even if you don't have it, it doesn't hurt to treat it. I really think you're just one of the women who don't have many symptoms and b/c you're young it's not all showing up yet.





If there are questions w/ your blood sugar, then have the test redone - at another lab if necessary.
