When I was a teenager, into my early 20s I had irregular cycles. My doctor checked all my hormone levels, and they were normal. No excess hair, slender, no extra testosterone. My US was negative for cysts. He still gave me a diagnosis of "PCOS." Flash forward 15 years, off the pill, now my cycles are predictable down to a few days, normal periods, perfect CD 3 labs, and another US with no cysts. My Gyn says "you arent PCOS. That was a misdiagnosis." I see so many women who carry that label, for no reason! The syndrome says you need 2 out of 3 to qualify: irregular cycles, excess androgens or elevated LH/FSH ratio, and cysts on US. So how can women with normal labs and imaging carry this diagnosis? Irregular cycles doesn't mean PCOS. I even read, "you may have PCOS with no symptoms. No cysts, and normal hormones." WTF? How can you have a syndrome when you have nothing outside the normal spectrum? If you are diagnosing something in 10 to 20 percent of the population, maybe it's a variation of normal and not a syndrome! Sure, irregular cycles plus hormonal Imbalances and or imaging findings makes sense. That's pcos. But this disease has become a waste basket diagnosis.
