Thank you Annette >> Hello Annette, I am in the process of getting a medical diagnosis for my 11 year old daughter. She has all of the classic symptoms, along with abnormal lab tests. I have been in pursuit of a diagnosis/treatment for so long! My primary care physician ran some labs after my constant persistence, but informed me that they all came back "normal". Fortunately, I was able to get copies of the labwork....what I found did not constitute "normal". I self-referred to a pediatric endocrinologist, who agreed that she could have PCOS, however wants further labwork to verify diagnosis. The problem seems to be that her testosterone and insulin levels aren't "high" enough to give her a diagnosis of PCOS, although the signs and symptoms are all there. This has been a very very frustrating time for my daughter...she is anxious to feel better, but can't get anywhere with the drs. I, however, am on a mission to get her treatment!!! Annette, you must follow-up for your daughter's sake. My answer to your question....YES, an 11 year old can have PCOS. Call your local human services department (located in your county of residence) and apply for medical coverage for your family. Please let me know if I can help in anyway!!! Rhonda
