I've been treated for irregualr periods, and have been told that I do have cysts on my ovaries my guess is they felt them when they do a pelvic exam. Its also genetic in my family, the only problem is the hair wasn't. My mother doesn't have the facial hair problems I do...its kind of embarassing actually. Some guy came up to me and asked if I were growing a beard. What I meant by its no picnic is now I'm peeing like every 15 mins because I'm drinking water like there is no tomorrow. Insulin problems? I don't know if I have a sever caseof PCOS they never mentioned it to me before but I guess I should check it out thanks for the tip.The doctor knew I was taking the Spironolactone, he put me on it. I had some left over from my last prescription so I was taking them together not realizing they are the same. But since they are the same I'm going to stop taking the Spironolactone. Thank you for telling me.
