I would take the word of an endo over a non-specific doctor or gyna any
day. This is the job of Endos. PCOS is right up their ally. To add to
the mix, you should also get checked for Cushings. Cushings and PCOS
are very simular seperated by one test.
A reminder to you and all. The lack of menstrauls is just ONE symptom
of PCOS. Just because you have amenoria, does not mean you are PCOS and
vice versa.
Research and get more doctors opinions. Make sure you see the full
picture.
