I think I may have PCOS!
Question: I think I may have PCOS
Ok I am going to my doctor in a few weeks to see if I have PCOS!. I was just wondering if it is very likely that I have the disease!.
I'm 17 and my periods haven't ever really been regular and sometimes I'll miss 3 or 4 in a row!. My last period was about 8 weeks ago!.
I am over weight, but I am not obese!. I watch what I eat and I exercise a lot, but I gain weight each year!. Two years ago I became obsessive with my weight and lost 15 pounds in 4 months!. A week after I lost it, I didn't gain or lose for about two weeks, then gained it all back very fast!.
I am also flat chested!. I'm not sure this is a common 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 either, they are still kinda pointy and not round!. They haven't grown since middle school!.
I don't know if I have more facial hair 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 noticeable if I forget to pluck them!. But I always have some hair on my stomach that i shave once, or twice a week!. and sometimes I shave my back hair (like once a month)!. But then again, I don't know if I have more hair than other women, I may just 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 was just wondering about a rough guess about what the chances were that I had the disease!. Please be honest if you answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

please don't worry so much- first off- it is very normal for girls to be irregular-not everyone has regular periods-some of us don't- i always thought it was better not to have them so often-less hassle!. as for small boobs, well, that's just the way some women are made!. and as for facial hair-it really shows up more if you have dark hair-try using a bleacher on it to lighten the hairs!. i know lots of girls that shave their bodies-personally, i wouldn't do it-i prefer to use waxing or sugaring- its a personal choice!. you see, not all women are the same-we are all different- what is normal for one person may not be normal for another!. don't worry-you are fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
