Hi, I am looking for any help on my pcos diagnosing.
I am 42 and have 2 boys, 2 miscarriages.
My periods are always on time, although they are extremely heavy and very painful.
I am not over weight, no facial hair, no acne, no hair loss among other pcos symtoms.
My diagnosis came about through blood tests and an internal ultrasound. Which showed multiple cysts on my ovaries. Im not too sure about my blood tests until tomorrow when I see my Dr again. All I do know is they suspected multiple cysts detected through blood tests?? And later confirmed through ultrasound.
How come I have no other symptoms, I have no relatives that have had this and regular periods???
Am I going to get these other symptoms?
I have to see my Dr. tomorrow and would like to go in with more questions but I am at a loss on all of this.
I am not having any more children and I am having a hard time trying to find anyone who is in my position who could help me with this.
As I said I see my Dr tomorrow and time is crucial on opinions!!
If anyone can help me please email me or message me asap.
Thankyou, Michele

PCOS simply means that you have a history of ovarian cysts. While there are many other symptoms that can present themselves with PCOS, they are not there in every person. For example, my mother had PCOS and ended up having to have both ovaries removed in her 40s after efforts to remove the cysts didn't help. However, she never experienced many of the other symptoms that are commonly associated with the disorder. The only ones she knows for sure that she had was skin tagging and heavy menstrual bleeding. On the other hand, I experienced several of the symptoms in my 20s and was finally diagnosed about 6 years ago after trying for years to get pregnant and not being able to. After having to have my right ovary and tube removed and a few bouts with cysts rupturing, I experienced a miscarriage and now am 7 months pregnant with my first child. The important thing at this point is for you to talk with your doctor about all of your options. Don't be afraid to ask him or her a LOT of questions. You are not alone but your best information will come from your doctor. Good luck!
