Hi, I have polycystic ovaries but not sure whether I have PCOS.
I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries after an ultrasound scan when I was about 16. I was having very irregular periods and had put on a lot of weight. They also gave me a blood test but when I went back to the Drs to get the results it was all very confusing and as I was still quite young I never really followed it all up. Now that I'm 25, married, and thinking about trying for children at some point, I know that I'm going to have to go back to the Drs and sort it all out.
I'm not on the pill at the moment (or any other medication) and only have 1 or 2 periods a year. I don't get ache but I do have excess hair...it's not too bad facially at the moment but seems to be getting gradually worse.
I'm just not too sure of the difference in symptoms between PCOS and just having polycystic ovaries. Anyone know?x
