While its true that some women with PCOS are regular, have you had
yourself chcked for Cushings? Cushings and PCOS are mirror image. Only
one test can tell, I don't know the name, but its a blood test, will
tell you if you have it.
I definately suggest a new doctor. This one is obviously a person of
'by the book' qualities. There are exceptions to every rule. I am one
of them. All my symptoms say I should have cysts (because so severe)
but I dont... confirmed by sonar x 4 different times. Will confirm
visually when he goes in for Lap. Not everyone has the same symptoms
and not everyone needs all of the symptoms to be PCOS. Get a new doctor
and educate this one.
