Gee thanks for your great advice....now I feel horrible. I would like some explanation as to why I dont have any other symtoms of PCOS other than Irregular periods. I'm sorry but I'm terribly scared and my current doctor has said I dont have it, but I'm worried. Your saying "it sounds like it" does not make me feel better - why do you think I have it? Can you just have irregular periods as a sympton and that be enough?

Signed WORRIED SICK!!!!

Thanks
