dear tessie,

my name is michelle i have pcos and i am 22 years old i began to have trouble when i was 13 as my period had just begun and i did not do anything about it till i was 15 and then i went to see a doctor and i got the bad news and other news that went along with that yes i do advise that you take it up with your doctor i got told from the first doctor that it was hereditary but i have since found out that some women just develope it...

i hope you get the answers you are looking for i think you were right in requesting the tests i think that you should try again to get the testosterone levels tested again as they can answer a lot of questions.......

your friend michelle

>Thank you for any help.
