What would you make of this?From: Kristin (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 29 Mar 2002 12:13:19 -0600 (CST)
I got my period first at age 12. Age 17 gained 30-40 pounds in 3 months with no increased eating, then periods became irregular, would get a period every 3 months. Went on birth control pills at age 25 and period became regular. Test results showed elevated DHEA (in the 800's when normal range according to this lab should be no higher than 560) and elevated DHEAS. Testosterone right on border for being elevated. Glucose slightly elevated. I have facial hair, like a man's beard under my chin, thank God I am blonde and thank God for waxing. Have many skin tags, elevated LDL levels. Negative test resusts for Cushing's Disease, no adrenal tumor, no thyroid problem. Became pregnant TWICE while on BCP's (God bless my 2 boys!!). Almost as if being on pill helped my elevated male hormone levels become regular. My question is - given all this info - how could my RE NOT diagnose me with PCOS???? Should I seek another doctor??? My OBGYN said based on this it sure sounds like I have it. Should I seek another RE??? Thank you, I don't mean to sound pissed off, I'm just so frustrated. I'm 31 and have been dealing with these problems for 14 years. Kristin
