Well jeez, I misread. I guess it's because I have NEVER heard of
frequent periods with PCOS. And I am sorry I did not go back to read
your previous post again. I forgot you said you were already
diagnosised with PCOS. I am so sorry.
However, that doesn't really change much of my response. I'm not
comfortable with the response of the nurses though. I guess I should do
a cross search for PCOS and Frequent cycles. I just doesn't sound
right.
And it seems that it doesn't sound right to you either, because you are
still worried.
Please forgive me for mis-reading and not re-reading. And don't be
afraid to research into other issues if you feel in your heart that this
is not PCOS related.
