Polycystic ovary syndrome Question
I'm 17 and my periods haven't ever really be regular and sometimes I'll miss 3 or 4 in a row. My last length was about 8 weeks ago.
I am over immensity, but I am not obese. I watch what I eat and I exercise plentifully, but I gain weight each year. Two years ago I become obsessive with my bulk and lost 15 pounds in 4 months. A week after I lost it, I didn't gain or lose for about two weeks, next gained it all backbone very fast.
I am also flat chested. I'm not sure this is a adjectives symptom, but my mom says it is. I wear an a cup and sometimes that is too big for me. My boobs never fully formed any, they are still kinda pointy and not round. They haven't grown since middle school.
I don't know if I have more facial fleece than most women because I dont know what's common, but I pluck my upper lip hairs every week or every other week, but they aren't really manifest if I forget to pluck them. But I always have some fleece on my stomach that i shave once, or twice a week. and sometimes I shave my back hair (like once a month). But afterwards again, I don't know if I have more hair than other women, I may of late be a freak who loves to not have hair on my body.
Sorry if this is so long. I know none of you are doctors, but I be just wondering about a rough guess roughly what the chances were that I have the disease. Please be honest if you answer.
Answers: It's quite possible you have PCOS. It's not unusual. The weight gain, missed periods, and excess hackle are definately strong indicators. I'm glad you're getting checked out now, rather than putting it rotten. It can affect your fertility, your mood, and more importantly- burst cysts hurt like mad. The sooner you're on medication, the better.
Good luck!
