Answer 2

Unfortunately, there is no test to definitely diagnose pcos, like they do down syndrome or kidney failure.  Its a rule-out diagnosis - which means all the other possible causes were eliminated.  

Have a gyn yet??  They will probably be hesitant, but push them to do a scan of your ovaries and some blood work.

Personally, I think the medicine is worse than the condition.  Especially since the symptoms that bother people most can be treated without a pcos diagnosis.  

Find out now.  Don't wait.  Better to get treatment going before you find out you'll never have kids.
