What is PCOS? And when does polycystic ovary syndrome become a problem for women?...
Not all women with PCOS share the same symptoms but women with PCOS exhibit one of three main symptoms. PCOS signs and symptoms made clear here....
PCOS is often misdiagnosed. Educate yourself with some diagnostic questions that can point you in the right direction for an accurate PCOS diagnosis....

Q: Symptoms of Pcos?? Or Going Nuts!

Okies.

I have been poking some websites and I seem to have a few symptoms of it and if I did have it it would explain a few things.

I have dark thick hair growing out of my areola on both boobs, I have again the same thich hair growing out of my chin and I have smaller thinner, but still dark ones on my top lip.

I have the skin flaps on my underarm, but they have been there for years.

I have regular periods, kinda, they vary from 28-35 days, depending on how much my body wants to torment me. I get the normal pms things, tender boobs, sore nipples, sore back and left knee (which I have been told is because of the fluid build up)

i will often randomnly get sharpe stabbing pains in my abdomain, often round the time where I am or shoudl be ovulating it varies from side to side but untill nwo I have never really taken note of where its coming from, but several times I have thought I have had problems with my apendix because the pain was so bad.

I was pregnant in december but lost the baby at 7.5 weeks

i am 21, not on any birth control and I am the rigth weight for my height, I dont smoke and I will only ever drink maybe 4-5 times a year, I just dont like the taste of it.

After I lost the baby and several times since and the week before my drivign test I woudl have severe gut spazms which if I had not had my periods I would have sworn it was like I was being kicked from the inside.. But I was put on anti spazmodics till my drivign test was over. Said it was ibs but I presented no other symptoms so I just figure that thats my way of reacting to stress.

I will get very hyper when I eat sugary foods, and by very its a understatment. Sugar leves will go up and go down but I am not diabetic as have been tested for that loads of times.

I know you lot will probaly tell me to just go to the dr, but going to him for a bit of random body hair and some pain in my side may not constitute as a valid reason.

So.. Thoughts are appreciated..

a Thought
Askara, sounds like you have a very harsh form of menstrual cramping. You need to have some tests done to rule out other problems.
The reason no one wrote a reply is because no one can answer what is causing your discomfort. If it is causing you to be incapacitated during the pain-you need to get to a Dr. Who will run the tests. It's poosible that no one here has experienced what you're going through. Hence, since this a forum to share our experiences-no one has experienced it.
Please, when you do find out, come back here and let us all know what it was so that we'll know you're ok.

Ovulation Pain
This is cool, one month it's on the left, the next on the right, you can feel the pain when the egg explodes out of the follicle
that's normal, even without polycystic ovary syndrome
hair around areola a wee bit is ok, unless you have other masculinization (hoarse voice, facial hair, etc.), you can have it removed

pcos is treated with glitazones for diabetes, like rezulin, or metformin...Is used to even-out hormones, somehow adjusting blood sugar helps with hormones and restoration of fertility in pcos

you must see a doc to dx whether this is pcos and get it treated right, don't be afraid, it's more and more common in young women for some reason

Aww thankyou guys.

Janey, other than the random nipple hair there is excess har under by belly button, all thick and black, I have hair popping out of my chin.. This disturbs me to no end! There is some that appears on my top lip which every time I pluck them out I cry so much cause it hurts like hell!

But I may print my list off as I cant remember jack when I get to the docs and let him play with it

Pcos
Askara I have pcos and I take glucophage for it to regulate my insuline, do you have any brown patches on your skin? I too have extra hairs growing but I just shave or pluck them if you get on meds it will help. Let me know what you find out.
