So I had my appointment yesterday regarding my missing period. I'm still waiting for my labs to come back but Dr said it's either my thyroid or polycystic ovarian syndrome. I'm not on birth control currently and I don't want to be, so if it is pcos is there a different option for treatment? She said that birth control is the only treatment, but I want to avoid it of possible.

She also urged me to lose weight because the heavier I am the worse my symptoms will get. She also said that it would be very hard to lose weight if I do have pcos. I also am going to get scheduled for another ultrasound to make sure my uterine lining isn't getting too thick from not having a period.

What is everyone's experience with pcos?
