Posted on Mar 24, 2009 under insulin resistance syndrome | 2 CommentsI am freaking out, and crying too because you can not bear children, I have the irregular periods [sometimes they for a week but only for half of each day] and i have the acne [runs in family though] and sleep apnea because i sometimes just quit breathing when i am trying to go to sleep….and i do got all the increased hair on me but its not on the neck. and i used to have depression. i am pretty tiny though.
do u think i can have it?!
Not all women with PCOS share the same symptoms. These are some of the symptoms of PCOS:
* infrequent menstrual periods, no menstrual periods, and/or irregular bleeding
* infertility (not able to get pregnant) because of not ovulating
* increased hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toes—a condition called hirsutism (HER-suh-tiz-um)
* ovarian cysts
* acne, oily skin, or dandruff
* weight gain or obesity, usually carrying extra weight around the waist
* insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes
* high cholesterol
* high blood pressure
* male-pattern baldness or thinning hair
* patches of thickened and dark brown or black skin on the neck, arms, breasts, or thighs
* skin tags, or tiny excess flaps of skin in the armpits or neck area
* pelvic pain
* anxiety or depression due to appearance and/or infertility
* sleep apnea—excessive snoring and times when breathing stops while asleep
please help i am totally bummed out

The only way to know for sure is to go to a doctor. Tell you're mom, and get to a doctor. Because people on here, cannot help you. A trained professional can.

i was finally diagnosed with PCOS at age 18 but another doc told me i might have it at age 16 but never checked. so when i went in for a check up another Doc took some blood and said i had it. i had… ALOT of the symptoms and i was also obese… i'm like 40lbs lighter now and my symptoms have decreased dramtically…
but if ur thin then u might just be freaking urself out.
how did u hear about it…? cuz i'm sure u could look up ANY disease and have atleast a few of the symptoms without having the actual "sickness"
