Hi Jen, You didn't burst my bubble (I'm hoping you didn't intend for your post to be mean) :/ but I see your point. I guess I should have clarified my statement. I "REGULARLY" have a period. I don't have ABSENT menses like most of you. It's so weird how this PCOS can have conflicting symptoms--some have "irregular" periods meaning a lack of periods, while others technically have "irregular" periods meaning the timing is always off and therefore so is the cycle. Some of us have cysts on our ovaries, some do not. It's weird how these complete opposite symptoms all fall under the same diagnosis. I have never heard of any other condition or syndrome with these properties before! It's just so odd.
