I recently read the Ladies Home Journal article on PCOS. I have been to several doctors, two of which did ultrasounds to check for polycystic ovaries because of my symptoms: not only do I not get a period regularly, but when I do -every six months- I do not stop bleeding and have to take progesterone to stop. However, besides irregular periods, a lifetime of struggling with an extra 20 pounds or so, and acne (when I was off the pill) I don't have any of the other symptoms. In fact my fasting blood sugar is lower than normal (65) and my good cholestorol is exceptionally high (95) So I'm told. And the ultrasound showed normal ovaries although after blood tests, my doctor said I hadn't ovulated. Could I still have PCOS? I am 30 and have not tried to get pregnant but would like to someday.
