The nurse practitioner said that it is definately not PCOS but an OBGYN said that it could be. I am getting a second opinion. Does anyone know if this sounds like PCOS????? I am very scared. Thanks.

There is still a chance of it being PCOS. With me all butone test came back normal. My DHEA level was way above normal for a woman my age. Make sure they test your DHEA level because that can be effected by PCOS.
Secondly the only physical sings I had were hair loss(head),weight gain,and hair growth(male patterns-facial,hands,fingers,toes and so on).
Try getting in to see an Endocrinologist,they are better trained at dxing PCOS and treating it than regular gynos.
