Am I turning into a man?From: Morry (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 8 Jul 2001 15:55:26 -0500 (CDT)
Greetings, I am 22 years old. And I am haveing all kinds of strange things going on with my body. I developed at an early age. The first sign of facial hair showed up at 14. Shortly after my mentrual became very irregular, it started to skip months, then years. I experienced heavy flow, clotting, then very little flow. Meantime my facial hair and acne was getting worst, as well as hair growth all over my body. I dont need to get into what kind of social problems, and peer problems I had. Im sure you all can figure it out. I went a GYN about it, I expressed that I suspected I had PCOS. It was not confirmed, but they just told me it looked like it. Once I went for a transvaginal sonogram, the tech told me that my ovaries were definately PCO. I only ended up getting some birth control pills, which brought on a period monthly, and cleared up my acne a little. The older I get the worster my symptoms seem to get! Now I am 22, my facial is is very bad. I have to use hair removal cream all the time, 3 times a week, the hairs just keep sprouting and is comeing in THICKER and COARSER. I have hair all over my body, more than before. Im not on any birth control right now, and my period is comeing regularly, but very light. The hair on my head is thinning, its been thinning over a year. Ive lost over have my hair already. Its inevitable that I go bald. I am chubby, no matter how little I eat I keep a pot belly and lost of upper body fat. I carry most of, maybe even all of my weight, above the waist, very little below. I am now experiencing some weirdness in my chest. My heart seems to be beating fast, it started out with fluttering feelings. When I get nervouse or upset my heart thumps so fast that I get scared. Well, thats whats going on with me, briefly. I would love to hear from others who have or are going through the same. Free free to e-mail me!
