Can I have PCOS?

Question

So my doctors are dumb. At first they told  me I have PCOS then they said no or I’m borderline like wtf is borderline? 👀

Answer

Did your bloodwork indicate that you have high androgens like dhea and testosterone? Do you have irregular periods? Did they do an ultrasound and look at your ovaries?

Answer

Sometimes PCOS can be difficult to diagnose. I been told I have a mild case of it because of some of the symptoms I have. If you can, it might not hurt to get a second opinion. Or you might need to see a more specialized type of doctor to see if there is something else going on.

Answer

Took me about three years to finally be diagnosed with PCOS. I’m relieved to know now why I feel all these symptoms. I guess every woman is different. I had two ultrasounds done with a few months of each other. The first one apparently was good with no problems. But then I went to a gynecologist and was referred to do another ultrasound and that’s when I was diagnosed. 
My guess is that it might be a bit hard to see sometimes. I’m sure I’ve had it since I was in high school cuz my period was painful and I would feel super dizzy and weak. Then, after I got married, I started missing them and would only have them like two times a year. Then spotting that lasted 26 days (went on for about four months every other month). And now I’m back to missing them. 
I’ve never taken pills or anything for it or to prevent pregnancy. We’re not trying but we’re not trying to prevent it either. But that’s beside the point. 
Also, every woman has different symptoms at different levels, I guess. I have facial hair on my chin and upper lip, irregular period, and slight depression and mood swings. Otherwise, I’m healthy, not overweight, just a bit, cuz I need to exercise, but that’s on me, lol. Other women feel pain, others don’t. I still have a lot to learn.
