Pcos or no?
So basically I'm wondering if I have pcos
Up until the birth of my 2nd child I've never had symptons
I've never used hormonal contraception and always had natural regular 28 day periods
I conceived both my children very quickly ( so sorry if this is insensitive to those struggling but want to give my history)
I had my 2nd child 8 months ago despite breastfeeding I got a period at 6 months and two weeks later another
So I went to get checked, had a smear etc all OK and was told it was just post partrum hormones but I paid for a 2nd opinion
The gynaecololist was horrible she said I should of lost the baby weight by now and my problem was my fat stomach and I looked like I have pcos
My bmi is 23 and I do still have some excess stomach fat but im more pear shaped so her comments didn't make sense
She did a scan and said my right Ovary had a few follicles on it so yes I have moderate pcos and it won't improve unless I lose weight
I then seen a 2nd doctor who did a scan and said no evidence of pcos and my body was readjusting after childbirth
He said no point running hormones as things like prolactin etc will be higher as I'm breastfeeding
I'm so confused could I have pcos and just never had symptoms before
Or did this sound more like a post partrum issue?
Could my 2nd pregnancy have trigged pcos?
