So, this is confusing, but basically I was told when I was 21 that I had (mild) PCOS.

I was told by a gynecologist at the hospital, because my blood work was a bit abnormal, and my period didn’t show up for three months, which was the first time ever since I got it at 12.

When they scanned me, they saw that had some small cysts, so they said I had PCOS, and would need some help when I wanted children, and preferably before I turned 30.

They noted it was a very mild case of PCOS, since my hormones were almost what was considered normal, and usually, my period was regular and monthly.

I also didn’t have any of the other symptoms such as obesity, “apple shape”, facial or body hair where it should not be, and it was also noted that when the tests were taken, I was very stressed (I lost hair and puked daily) since I was in an abusive relationship, and just started university after an depression and was also starting some new meds that could have whacked my hormones out of balance.

The stress was probably the reason why my blood work was abnormal, because everything returned to normal soon after I got the diagnosis, and my period came back and stayed.

Every test I had since then has been fine and within the healthy range, and my doctor said that sometimes that happens.

Now, we’re TTC since august, and I wanted to know how with the PCOS was and asked for a referral to another fertility expert and gynecologist, and we had our first exam last week. Surprisingly, he told me he didn’t think I had PCOS or even any fertility-issues.

I am slightly overweight, but he said that hardly mattered since it was not too much, and that the positive ovulation tests I did at home the last four months, could be trusted (I ovulate day 23 of my cycle, so it’s long but it’s there and regular) and he didn’t find any reason to worry.

When he scanned me; he said that yea, I had a slightly enlarged ovary, and some small but not many cysts, but he would not give me the diagnosis and even said I could stop taking Metformin, since my body seemed to ovulate on it’s own. I was of course very happy to hear this, because it has worried me a lot, but I am also a bit skeptical of his optimism.

He did blood work, and I just saw some of the results, and everything was again normal, except AMH, that was a bit high (56, normal was 3-53) which could indicate PCOS, but maybe not when it was only slightly higher than normal.

I know it’s great to have many eggs and all, but I can’t help to wonder if he’s a bit to positive about this? I mean, I still have Cysts, enlarged ovaries and a high AMH and I’m waiting to see the last results of my blood work to see about the important ones such as testosterone and such, but they’re probably fine too.

My cycle is 35-38 days and I have gotten a positive ovulation test each month on the right day it should.

He said I didn’t qualify for the diagnosis because the only thing I now have is some cysts (that have been there a long time and apparently have not grown in number or size) but everything else is good.

He said yes to check my boyfriends semen and to scan me when I ovulate the next time to make sure the eggs are being released and are big enough, but he would not do more since we have only tried for 4-6 months, which I understand.

I guess what I am asking here is if any have tried this or can tell me if I can trust his assessment and try to relax about this whole thing? Or if I should get another opinion? I spent so much time worrying about this diagnosis so it’s weird that I might not even have it.

I can’t really understand it yet.
