I know you are not doctors, but I was wondering if you all think this might be P!


Question: My symptoms:
-- very irregular periods, after coming off birth control my cycles have been 31 days, 61 days, 45 days, 48 days & this cycle I'm on day 58.
-- I have very bad acne on my face, chest, & back
-- I have facial hair (very embarrassing)
-- Hair growing on my chest
-- I am overweight, and no matter what I try, I can't seem to lose weight
-- have been trying to conceive for 9 months

I am 25 years old, otherwise in good health. I have 1 child who is 4 years old, and had no problems with the pregnancy. I had 1 miscarriage 2 years ago.
Family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, cancer, and obesity.

You have alot of PCOS symptoms but being tested is the only way to know for sure. Also many PCOS patients are able to successfully conceive after being on meds. It could also be a hormonal imbalance,thyroid disorder or something else. Your best bet for a correct diagnosis would be a reproductive endocrinologist. Good Luck!

It sounds hormonal - but whether or not PCOS is the cause only you GYN can perform test to make that determination.

Yes, you have the symptoms.

Go to an Endocrinologist to be tested for sure though.

Any premenopausal woman with facial hair (hirsutism) should be worked up for PCOS (Stein-Leventhal). It's one of the top causes of hirsutism.

That is a real possibility. Could be more of a hormonal issue also. Check with you doctor and get blood work done. Thyroid needs checked too........

The female problems are simply cuz your overweight

It sounds like the symptoms I would talk to your gynecologist or go see an endocrinologist. But I would say it is some type of hormone problem
