My dr told me i had pcos after an ultrasound but my gyne said it wasnt, i dont have any other symptoms other than the lack of ovulation and my cycle once a year.
Do you have any other symptoms of pcos like the weight trouble and excesive body hair? (all the women on dads side of the family have pcos amd that is their symptoms)
Hope you get your diagnosis soon and hopefully its just an irregular cycle xxxx

Hi, I was diagnosed with pcos in May and it broke me as been trying for a year with only 2 periods! Straight away from the appoint I was put on provera to induce a period which it did and I am now on my first round of clomid, not sure if I've ovulated yet, have an appoint Monday. But in answer to your question it was obviously all very fast! However I am aware that all areas of the country are different as I work in healthcare , I am in Dorset. I'm pretty sure they will just provide treatment now a diagnosis has been made (hopefully) best of luck I hope it goes well :)

Hi, thanks for your comments, it's the waiting in limbo that is driving me up the wall. Hopefully once I have seen the specialist we can start moving forward with the process. Good luck with the clomid, I have heard a lot of good success stories from people who have used clomid!

I was diagnosed with PCOS and put on Metformin by my family doctor then was referred to my obgyn for further treatment. There was no need to do any further testing as I had already had blood work and ultrasounds done and I had my diagnosis. My first appointment with my obgyn was straightforward; I had my height, weight, and blood pressure taken (standard at every appointment), then I had a pap done. After that my husband and I met with the obgyn in his office to discuss treatment. I had a really good idea ahead of time of what the first line treatment would be including the risks, benefits, side effects etc so it was all really straightforward. I was given a prescription of birth control to take for two weeks to induce a period followed by unmonitored clomid 50mg cd3-7. The whole process was really simple, quick, a straightforward, and I think a lot of that was because I was vocal about what I'd like done for treatment and didn't play the lets-wait-and-see game.
