pcosrose, I was just diagnosed my self after reading on the internet about symptoms...I made an appointment with my family doctor and asked her questions about pcos. She said to me "By looking at your weight and your cycles, I would say you had pcos"! I asked her to refer me to someone with a liitle more knowledge and compassion...and she did. I went to my new doctor and felt so much better. I brought a bunch of questions for her...she took blood samples and gave me a real diagnosis. So, my advice is, ask a lot of questions and be sure to get a doctor who doesn't think it is just a weight problem...cause it's not!!!
