Chances are you have PCOS....Sometimes, the tests come up negative when
you actually have it. Do a search on the web and you'll find that their
are many women, including myself who have the same problems. There are
many things you can do (I chose the herbal route) to get yourself on the
road to recovery.....again, research and read everything you can get
your hands on about the condition, it will be very helpful...i
promise...best of luck..Michael
