Question

Hello, I'm a 21 year old female and I've been getting some excessive hair growth. On my legs, between my thighs, on my butt, and on my stomach, and even random strands on my chin. This hair growth is not just like any old hair growth. It grows like a mans hair if I let it. I've been looking up things and came to the conclusion that I may suffer from PCOS. But the catch is, no doctor will take me seriously because I have very regular periods and always have. There on time every month, I mean they literally come like clock work. Even around the time of ovulation, i feel all my symptoms. The sore boobs, slight cramping and I know my period tracker is spot on when I'm ovulating because of those signs and symptoms. My question here is, does anyone know if it's possible to have PCOS with normal periods and with ovulating?

Answer

Sore breasts and cramping are normal symptoms most women experience. If your cycle is normal and more than one doctor has stated you do not have PCOS, then you probably don’t have PCOS.

Answer

I don't understand why people think it's not possible to have PCOS and have regular periods. YES, it's POSSIBLE. It's called a typical PCOS. just like it's possible to be thin and have PCOS. Most people who suffer from PCOS are heavier. But, not everyone is the same. I'd definitely try again with a Dr who is willing to listen.

Answer

Sounds like high levels of testosterone to me. Do you have a high sex drive and break out in acne often? Look into hormone imbalances.. or don't, because you may drive yourself crazy. Maybe you could see a dermatologist or just a better doc

Answer

You don’t have PCOS if you’re periods are regular. Maybe some sort of hormonal imbalance? But not PCOS.

Answer

id talk to a doc about high testosterone, and ask what they think could be causing it. See if you get get some blood work done.

Answer

i suffer from pcos and there are many symptoms such as iregular or no periods, acne, excess hair, struggling to control weight, however some will have completly mormal periods and no other symptoms. it depends on the individual. if you are convinced you have it then i suggest going to your gp and saying that you want to put your mind at rest can you have your hormone levels tested. it's what I did when i was 16 and had it all confirmed. i now have normal periods and am i normal weight. hipe it helps
