Do I have pcos?

Question

Ladies,

I need your help. I am the type of person to worry. Over think things...

My husband and I are ttc. I am 24, and been off birth control for about a month now.

I came across info on pcos, but wasn't sure if I should be worried or not yet. I have dark hair on my chin that I shave, and some hair that grows around my nipples :/ I'm not sure if my period is regular or not... But I have one. I break out around my period, and have gained some weight recently. Probably due to my job being a desk job when I used to have one that I walked all day...

Should I be worried?  Should I see a doctor? Or just take a chill pill? Haha

Answer

I wouldn't worry yet!  I honestly have most of those same problems and I don't have it!  They are caused by hormones!  It you are truly worried talk to your doctor!

Answer

You do have some of the symptoms but the only way to be sure is through testing. If you share your concerns with your doctor I'm sure they'd be happy to do the tests. I have irregular periods and acne, but I'm a healthy weight and don't have excess hair growth. Symptoms can change from one person to the next for sure

Answer

I have PCOS, but the only "traditional" symptom I have is I don't have regular periods.. Like two periods in six years kind of irregular lol. I got checked out after two months of ttc, so your doctor might be willing to test you. You'll just have to call and ask! :)
