Hey Amy!
It was just a hunch because I am definately not a doctor so I don't want
you to take anything I say as fact. PCOS is a condition that is
characterized by high blood pressure, irregular periods and a whole
bunch more syptoms. Although it does sound like without any other
symptoms it's almost like you have endometriosis but like I said I AM NO
DOCTOR. Sometimes we get so focused on what's going on below the belt,
we ignore or don't realize the other symptoms going on in the rest of
our body. You may want to try going to http://www.pcos.itgo.com to check out
your symptoms just to make sure. --Nif
