PCOS ?

Question

So I am 14, and I had my period for almost 2 1/2 months straight! I grow a lot of facial hair on my upper lip and stomach etc. I also have pretty bad acne on my forehead. But I am very athletic and play lots of sports so I’m pretty skinny. I was wondering if this sounds like the symptoms of PCOS that anyone else had?

Answer

My friend had the bleeding. I had no bleeding at all. In fact, I once went like 2 years without a period. But the excess body hair does sound familiar. I would let your doctor know, as there are tests they can perform ☺️

Answer

Oh my lanta did 14 year old me write this?? Yes to all. Still skinny and have struggled to put on pounds even after sports ended. Periods evened out some after being on birth control for a few years but before I was on it I could go three months without a period and then bleed two straight weeks followed by two weeks off and then a week on. Then I’d go 2 months without and be on two weeks. It definitely sounds like my experience with PCOS.

Answer

When I started my mensis I could go 11days straight.... then it was irregular for a while.... then I went a whole year without my mensis..... after that I went 4months straight bleeding everyday.... some days heavy some days spotting.... I have hirsutism.... head to toe.... there’s just sooo much hair all over, my tummy, face, beard and in places I don’t wanna mention lol.... sound familiar???
You should see a gynae and have some faith.... you’d be fine...
