Question:

I think I have PCOS?

Ok I am going to my doctor in a few weeks to see if I have PCOS. I was just wondering if it is very likely that I have the disease.

I'm 17 and my periods haven't ever really been regular and sometimes I'll miss 3 or 4 in a row. My last period was about 8 weeks ago.

I am over weight, but I am not obese. I watch what I eat and I exercise a lot, but I gain weight each year. Two years ago I became obsessive with my weight and lost 15 pounds in 4 months. A week after I lost it, I didn't gain or lose for about two weeks, then gained it all back very fast.

I am also flat chested. I'm not sure this is a common symptom, but my mom says it is. I wear an a cup and sometimes that is too big for me. My b***s never fully formed either, they are still kinda pointy and not round. They haven't grown since middle school.

I don't know if I have more facial hair than most women because I dont know what's common, but I pluck my upper lip hairs every week or every other week, but they aren't really noticeable if I forget to pluck them. But I always have some hair on my stomach that i shave once, or twice a week. and sometimes I shave my back hair (like once a month). But then again, I don't know if I have more hair than other women, I may just be a freak who loves to not have hair on my body.

I get acne on my face all the time and I never used to about 2 years ago.

My cousin was diagnosed with the illness a few years ago.

Sorry if this is so long. I know none of you are doctors, but I was just wondering about a rough guess about what the chances were that I had the disease. Please be honest if you answer.

  1. I think you might.  I have pcos and I have trouble with my weight, I grow hair everywhere a man does.  And my periods have never been irregular.  I do have big brest so I'm not sure about the small brest thing.  I'm glad your going to the doctor about it though.  The sooner you find out the easier it is to treat.  You need to watch for Diabetes as well because with pcos your body produces more insulin then you need.
