For those of you who have PCOS....,
How did you find out you had it?  
Did you suspect because of symptoms? 
Did you have to have a battery of tests completed?  
Did your doctor suggest being tested after symptoms?  
What were your symptoms?  

Thanks!!

my periods were so irregular...if at all. three months id have no period, then i would have it for 2 months. i got THE worst acne i had ever seen. no body hair, and i had gained weight two years ago around the middle but thought it was poor diet. then after a year of no bc i went crazy. i literally got so angry. i woke up angry, i was a walking time bomb. i lost friends over it. and i wasnt getting my period. i went to my reg doctor and he tried to get me to go to lab. i broke down at lab, crying sobbing, i was a wreck and had to leave because i literally wanted to pull everyones hair out and scream. i went back for blood work the next day when i was calmer. meanwhile my obgyn and i were tracking my periods from october 08-may09 and his answer was put me on pills to get period. nothing deeper. so i switched to my moms infertility dr suspecting something wrong and bingo! my husband and i walked in and he goes, "this is what youve got. either you are pregnant the rest of your life or on b/c.... no in between or you will be a wreck." so that was it. it all clicked into place. i finally had an answer. but at 22, it hurt. really bad. i got off bc after two months to restart my system to try and get pregnant and i think i might be?! AH!

good luck to you

kristina, Thank you for that information! I'm just doing research on things because I think we're doing everything right and still no baby....but we'll just keep trying.
I don't seem to have any of those symptoms (I know it varies person to person, but none of those things describe me). I hope things are better for you.
I hope you get your BFP soon!!
Big smile

Lishwa, how did you do it? We've been trying for about 6 months now, and no dice yet. We are doing clomid, but we are only on our 3rd round of that, tried to add Preseed to the mix ,and all i got from that was a uti. So frustrated with that. Hoping and praying it works!!!
