Hi Kaleigh

I sort of got told the same, with me they said they couldn't tell me I deffinately had it or not. They (the specialist said basically if anyone asks just say you have it). I do however have loads of the symptoms, facial hair, periods all over, finding it hard to lose the weight, depression and things like that.

What symptoms are you getting??

Anita, XX.

Hi, Kayleigh,

Yeah my periods like used to be really heavy and lasted a long time. Now at the moment they are not cos im on the cerazette pill. I just get constant spotting, but with lots of tummy and back pain and feeling sick.

It isn't nice, hugs my friend.

Hi I have PCOS, im 38 and had it since i was 19. I get a period about 3 times a year but when they do come they can last up to 8 weeks and are quite heavy.

I find it really hard to lose weight and get pain sometimes at bottom of my stomach.

I get over symptoms as well

i just wish they would hurry up and sort it or do something its ruling my life i have to wait to the 22nd for a rescan sosurley they cant thinkits urgent can they ori would have been seen much sooner i got my results about 2 weeks ago ?????? xx
sorry to go on it just worries me :weep: xx

hi no need to say sorry its a horrible thing to have.

i hate the fact u never no when period will start, u think its stopping and then it starts again. sometimes get the pain, the mood swings etc but period never comes.

there are things to help yreself like if yr overweight losing weight can lessen the symptoms, but i find it hard to lose weight when u have this condition

Wow, I just wanted to send a hug to all of you ladies. Having normal periods is bad enough.
:hugs:

My Dr thinks I might have this as my periods have been a bit messy of late - I think down to coming off the pill but I don't know.. She's organised me to have a full blood test, and an ultrasound - not a transvaginal one thank God as she said it would hurt too much seeing as I'm still a virgin! The only symptoms I have are tiredness, ectopic beats, dryness/itchy/sore down there, acne, I'm overweight and my periods (in the last 6 months) have gone a bit odd, plus I've always had them heavy with bad period pain, but lately they've gotten lighter to the point of stopping and starting - though like I said I only came off the pill a month ago...

More worried about whether I have some kind of cancer to be honest :unsure: or that I'll have problems having kids in the future :S

I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries some 15 years ago. My period was a couple of times a year and I was having trouble conceiving. I had a double dose of a fertility drug called clomid and got preggars...this must have sorted me as I now have 4 kids!!

hi ladies :D
yes i too had to have an ultrasound whichis when they found the cysts..... im now waiting on a second scan but im not quite sure why ?? i had a full blood tests done and they found my testoterone was pretty high and my iron levels were low ive been on folic acid now for a couple of months......
