Is my doctor wrong for doing this? or just my Anxiety!!?

[nikkij31]

Hello everyone this is an ongoing issue ive been having and its realy geting me down always playing on my mind!
-to give you a bit of background ive been treated for depression for sevral years only recently been treated for Anxiety (which seems to have been the main problem all along)
ive had a terrible year with my health inc. heart problems ect and suffering from health anxiety about lots of things. but anyhow i came of the contraceptive pill over 17 months ago with hopes of ttc and also because i know it can be dangerous to take the pill for many years. since then I've had nothing but problems starting with symptoms of PCOS which keep getting worse all the time... and horrendous mood swings/feeling bloated/sick all the time. the main thing is the lack of periods I've been going for 5 months at a time without them, with longer and longer time in-between! I fear that soon they will stop completely. understandably this causes me stress and disappointment as its not hopeful i will ever conceive which puts strain on my relationship.

my problem now is that i realy feel that im not been taken seriously by my doc i have been given tests for sevral things as well as an ultrosound which did come back normal however there are much more tests that can be done! ive been told that its not PCOS because im not overweight (which is a typical symptom) but how can they be sure when i have all the other symptoms!?

my doc is very nice and understanding about me depression/anxeity but i carnt help but feel the longer this goes on the worse it will get/be too late to do anything about! i seem to get told
to just "weit and see" all the time! ahh! as anyone ever felt like this? its very hard to tell these days weather im in the right and are been unfairly dismissed about my worries, or ive just lost perspective on the situation due to anxiety (i usally get told the latter)
thanks for reading im sorry its so long and i understant that its quite a specific problem but i just needed to vent to pepple that understand what its like to have these medical issuse and health anxeity. (makes it 100x worse) xx

If you have had a pelvic ultrasound than that would have diagnosed PCOS so if your ovaries were normal on that then its extremely unlikely that you have this. Have you had any hormone blood tests to see what they are doing?? If you have been on the pill for alot of years then it can also take a couple of years in some people for their hormones to return to normal when they come off and this is not often told to patients which is a shame as this needs to be taken into account when people want to have children so this is why your dr says you need to be patient unfortunetly.

If you haven't had bloods done for hormones then ask for them.

YOur other symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalance rather than PCOS. I have two friends with this and both of them had positive diagnosis by ultrasound plus they were both very overweight with very hairy faces . I assume you do not have a full beard.

You could also ask to be referred to fertility specialist/gyny as well if your periods don't improve in the coming months as once you get near the 2 yr mark then your periods should be back to normal.
