When did you find out you had PCOS?

Question

I've been reading a lot recently about how much the medical system fails women with PCOS, especially when it comes to diagnosis. When did you find out? Do you think a doctor should have/could have suggested it earlier?

Answer

I found out in November 2014, age 31, after my husband and I were having trouble conceiving (granted I had only been off the pill for three months, but didn't have a period during that time at all.) I had all the symptoms when I was in my late teens, but my family doctor didn't even think about that nor did I know that was a thing back in the early 2000s. It probably would have helped so many things had I not been on the pill which only masked all of the symptoms for over a decade.
