Hello this is my first time doing one of these.

Around the age of 16 i started to lose my periods for about 4 months then I would get my period for maybe a day or even less then a day but i would get period pains.

But since then I have gotten older and they have been more spaced out drastically since I was 16, my mum and I didn’t think anything of until we went to the hospital to get an ultrasound it came back clear and nothing seemed to be a problem according to the hospital i didn’t meet the “criteria “ to be diagnosed with PCOS.

We went back to the doctors a few weeks ago and my doctor told me i have cysts on my ovaries with also i have all the symptoms that are linking up to getting properly diagnosed with PCOS within my body has changed drastically.

As My mum and I were thinking i put on loads of weight and started to get hair on my neck and other symptoms within it but we don’t think anything of that it could be to do with my weight but no it isn’t.

What do you think i should do? I have already started a diet and exercise.

I was very similar.

Have a period then nothing for 6 months. Then a period which would last 4 months then nothing again. I still get really bad cramps.

Started at 14. I got diagnosed at 30 with PCOS after a long battle. Apparently it can now be diagnosed with a range of blood tests according to my GP.

My GP had said With PCOS comes difficulties losing weight for some people. I’ve been trying and still struggling. Nurses/doctors might have a not ideas.

Do you have access to a well women’s clinic through your GP? Best thing to do is discuss with your GP and what are your next steps.
