 An ultrasound can help with the diagnosis. Many women with PCO have enlarged ovaries, and many cysts
which show up on a vaginal ultrasound. However, not all women with PCOS have cystic or enlarged ovaries.
The test will also be inconclusive if you have been on BCPs.
According to my doctor, who is a leading specialist on PCOS ( Dr. Walter Futterweit)
This is something that one must live with for life. I haven't heard of anyone that had it "go away"
  You may also want to ask your MD for a Glucose Tolerance Test, this tests for insulin resistance, which is common
in those with PCOS.  A low carb diet can help with many of the symptoms of PCOS.
Do you have symptoms? Do you feel like it has gone away? Jeanine
