How to know if you have pcos?

Question

I've been struggling a lot since I came off of the pill in February. I've always had a lot of unwanted thick dark hair on my chin and down to my neck. Also a lot of stomach hair. I started tracking my cycles with bbt and while not crazy off they differ 8-10 days each month. Ive gained 13 lbs in the last 10 months regardless of exercise. I've also struggled with acne since my teenage years and I'm now 23. Do you think I should go see my gyno about this?

Answer

I just found out that my mom has pcos as well as my grandma. My moms cysts were so bad she had to have an emergency hysterectomy. Definitely going to go get check in September at my yearly check up with my gyno.

Answer

The only way to know for sure is to go to the doctor's and have the testing done.

Answer

I have pcos & didn't even know until I went to my Obgyn. I only did this because I had stopped Bc the year before and hadn't gotten my period the whole year after. They will take a ultrasound of your ovaries & depending on what they see probably some blood test . Luckily he seen right away that I had it just from the ultrasound so I didn't have to do blood test. & your periods will be so much more painful . I couldn't even go to work. I hope you do not have it. But I would deff make a appnt to be on the safe side.

Answer

i found out i had pcos after stopping bc and not having a period from march-dec. (found out in august) my doctor told me she thought it was that cause i a. have always had acne. b. wasnt getting my period. c. was slightly over weight and couldnt drop it. d. was always tired/moody. and e. had some unwanted hairs in places lol like chin and boobs and tummy. you find out via ultrasound (they use the wand version ultrasound and put it inside you, wasnt uncomfortable at all, barely felt it) its something yiu can manage with healthy eating and exercise (ive dropped 20lbs in just under a year) and my periods have been more and more regular since last december. get them every month now 😄 sometimes early or late but its always there now. still no luck on conceiving tho 😥
