If You Are Ovulating
And you had unprotected sex at that time yes you could be.You need to take a pregnancytest to see.I was 16 when I had my son,he is 21 now,my periods were so messed up so yes there is a possibility.

Pcos is a relatively newly discovered syndrome. It has alot to do wwith the endocrine system, and it's a wise idea to see an endocrinologist to help with the treatment. The polycystic ovaries are one manifestation of this syndrome.


Anyways, there's a very excellent website that talks an awful lot about it, offers support, gives resources to find doctors, etc it's: http://www.Pcosupport.Org/

it will say more than I can in one post.

But are you concerned that you're pregnant because you've not had a period it a long time? Also I just re-read your post and your doctor making that assessment while you were 12 or 13 suggests to me to get a second opinion, that's awfully young to know "for sure" about something like pcos.
