Remember that there is a big difference between having PCO and PCOS. Many women have ovarian cysts that don't cause any problems for them. PCOS is an endocrine disease. (You may very well have PCOS, I'm just pointing out the difference so you're aware of it!)

There's a great quiz at http://www.pcosupport.org/support/quiz.php that may help you figure out if PCOS is a concern for you or not.

Hope this helps!
