Looking for suggestionsFrom: Angela (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 5 Dec 2001 15:05:56 -0600 (CST)
Hello, my name is Angela. I just recently got a clinical diagnosis from my OB/GYN as having PCOS. My question to everyone is, do I need a second opinion or should I just accept this as truth? I had blood work done, I have a slightly elevated testosterone level and I am insulin resistant, along with my other symptoms of fatigue, obesity, depression, and absence of periods. Do I need a diagnosis from an endrocrinologist? I have not had an ultrasound of my ovaries. I do sincerely believe that I do have PCOS, it explains a lot of the symptoms that I have had over the years since my teens. (I am now 27). I didn't have my period regularly until the age of 18 (on the pill), my doctor said that it was normal and not to worry about it. Before taking the pill I would get my period every 6 months. I guess I'm just new to the whole thing. My doctor said that an ultrasound wouldn't help in the diagnosis, which my study of information has proved false. I haven't been able to get in to see her for another month, which is really hard considering I have so many questions. If anyone could shed some light on my situation, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all, Angela
