Sorry you have been having such a hard time. It certainly sounds like
your symptoms would do for PCOS. Not everyone has the biochemical
disturbances. Have you had an ultrasound scan? This is a useful test to
confirm the ovarian cysts that are seen in PCOS. Also your doctor
should check your testosterone, DHEAS and SHBG cos these may be abnormal
in PCO. Also, lots of women with PCOS have low ferritin which can
explain the tiredness. It is true that you need a GP referral to see a
specialist but they are pretty much obliged to refer you if you request
it. I do not know any specialists in london (I see someone in Bristol)
but there is a site called drfoster.co.uk which gives names of UK
specialists. Also the site soulcysters.com has very good discussion
boards including one for finding doctors who know about PCO.
Unfortunately this site is not working at the moment but I am sure it
will start working again soon. Don't give up hope - you need to find
out what is wrong with you. It is NOT normal to have periods only every
40-50 days and your GP should refer you to a specialist if they can't
work out whats wrong themself. GOOD LUCK! Emma
