🙂 If you are anxious about any unusual symptom, make an appointment with your GP.

🙂 Sometimes..talking things through is all that’s needed and there is help available..

Definitely talk to a doc. I'm not sure everything you mentioned has to do with PCOS. Try to stay positive. Hormones affect a lot of our bodies processes, it is hard to say what is going on eith what you mentioned. My mother wasn't in the picture either. I did survive, my experience is mother's don't always know, especially if they have not experienced it. I am now 61. You will get here too.

Without a scan it is difficult to diagnose, in spite of all the symptoms- hair loss, heavy frequent periods, overweight and not being able to shift it, my daughter suffered for years until a locum diagnosed her at 23!

Please see your GP-if you don't tell them they can't help. Often GP's know little about it but it affects at least 10% of young women so it's important to see an endocrinologist to confirm. Good lck-come back and tell us how you are getting on!
