DO I HAVE PCOS?From: BRANDEE (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 10 Jun 2003 13:22:17 -0500
I AM A 25 YEAR OLD FEMALE WHO AT 15 YEARS OLD WEIGHED 135, I AM 5'7", ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER I WEIGHED 180 AND MY GYNO DISCOVERED A CYST ON MY OVARY. I STILL STARTED TO GAIN WEIGHT, AND I HAVE SEEN SOOOOOO MANY DOCTORS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY ANSWERS FOR ME. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN "HAIRY" BUT IT WAS MORE LIKE PEACH FUZZ AND NOW I FEEL LIKE A MAN WHEN IT COMES TO FACIAL HAIR. I HAVE HAD BLOOD WORK MANY MANY MANY TIMES AND I CANT RECALL ANY DIRECT #'S FROM THE BLOOD WORK, THE DOCTORS ALL SAID THEY WERE IN THE "NORM" RANGE. I HAVE BEEN TO ENDOCRINOLOGISTS, GYNOS, PRIMARY CARE PHYS, WEIGHT LOSS DOCTORS, AND I GAVE UP ON SEARCHING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME FOR MANY YEARS AND FINALLY I STARTED MY SEARCH AGAIN. I WENT TO A DR.S APPT., WHICH I ENDED UP SEEING A PHYSICIANS ASSISTANT AND HE SUGGESTED I HAD PCOS. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE, BUT I NEVER SKIPPED PERIODS, I HAVE 2 KIDS AND HAD NO PROBLEM WITH CONCIEVING THEM, DOES THIS SOUND LIKE THE "NORM" PCOS? FROM WHAT IVE READ, MENSTRAL CYCLES AND OVULATION ARE ONE OF THE MAIN CLUES, SO COULD I STILL HAVE IT? AND IF I GET ANOTHER BLOOD TEST DONE, WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN THE RESULTS? WHATS THE "NORM" FOR SOMONE WITH PCOS? IS THERE A BIG SMOKING GUN TO LET ME KNOW I DEFENTILY HAVE IT OR DONT HAVE IT? THANKS!!!!!
