Almost Diagnosed and confused!From: Jessica (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 3 Feb 2002 23:13:12 -0600 (CST)
I went to the Dr the other day and he said he thinks I have PCOS. I have all of the classic symptoms. (Facial hair, acne, overweight, and of course irregular periods) I started when I was 11 yrs. old and they were very regular until I started the 9th grade. Then nothing. My gyn. said it was probably the stress of a new school and to come back in 3 months. 3 months later I came back still no periods but my dad had a heart attack in the meantime. He said this was probably the cause of stress and that I was fine. Fast forward 8 yrs. I have had about 6 periods in this time. Usually during high stress times (high school graduation, sisters wedding..) Last Wednesday I had a VERY stressful day at work and of course started. The bleeding was very heavey (3 Tampons in 2 hours) I went back to the gyn. and he said he thinks I have PCOS. I had bloodwork and go in for a ultrasound on Tuesday. I got my results back from the blood work and everything is in the normal range. My dr didn't order a testosterone test though. I would have thought that was something he would have wanted. Anyway, I am really confused about the disese and the diagnosis. Is there a chance I don't have it or is the ultrasound just a formality? And what are the normal ranges for a glucose tolerence test? Is there a web page with all of the test results and stuff on it? Thanks for any help or advise.
