> I have signs of it but the tests did not fully support the diagnosis. Long history of irregular menstrual periods, depression, overweight, body hair, and now, acne.
It seems to me that there are quite a few women with all of the symptoms but no dx of PCOS. I guess it might not be tested for that often, though.
> Acutally, I took a holiday from the bc pills and I think that I ovulated. I was surprise and said to myself, I didn't know I could do that, or that I could do that anymore! LOL. It may be ovulation, but probably with a dud ovum. Sigh. Haven't actually tried to get pregnant, so I don't know for sure about the infertility.
Interestingly enough, I had been off of bc for a couple of years. Rather recently, I was noticing I was pretty regular and I wondered if I might be ovulating. That's when I decided to get back on bc since I'm not trying to get pregnant. Oddly, the new prescription my doctor gave me has caused some side effects that I'd never experienced on any other bc pill. I did some research and I'm going to give it a couple months for my body to adjust before I ask for something different, if I need to.
