You may want to go to a different doctor and get another opinion. I went to my gyn yesterday for the first time and because of my irregular periods, my weight and facial hair, she immediaetly agreed that PCOS was most likely the culprit and ordered tests.

If you really think you have PCOS I would suggest going to a different doc. If you went to your regular general practioner, you may want to go to an obgyn or an endoctrinologist. Just because you don't have the cysts doesn't mean you don't have PCOS.

The one thing I've found with doctors is that you really have to fight for your health. Most doctors are NOT going to fight for you. You have to take control and be proactive in your own health.

I went to a different gyn, a dermatologist and my regular doctor, and NONE OF THEM connected my symptoms to PCOS. It was my electologist and an article about women with facial hair on MSNBC which prompted me to find out about PCOS and go in and request testing.So if you think this is what the problem is, be very proactive for your own health!!!
