Unsure

Posted , 3 users are following.

Last week I got results back from blood tests and an ultrasound to check for pcos after I went to the doctor about my irregular periods (really light one month, then really long more than 7 days). I'm not sexually active so she told me I wouldn't need a pap smear. Blood tests came back and my hormones were normal, ultrasound came back and there were no cysts. Yet it's still bugging me because I think I'm having another irregular period this month, I also have hair growth on my chin and stomach like a male would have. As well as acne. But my doctor said she can't diagnose me with pcos or a hormonal imbalance because I only have two out of three symptoms. I'm getting a bit sick of it, it's making me stressed and unhappy, because I know something isn't right and it feels like it's being dismissed.

    Hi Zoe,

    Learn not to stress yourself much..Just live your life everyday, with care on the food you eat. Think positive..

    Avoid sugar, alcohol and dairy and see if this helps your symptoms. You could ask for an insulin resistance blood test. If you are insulin resistant, you can take metformin which will help your symptoms.
