Regular periods but diagnosed with PCOS???
I have PCOS, but I am textbook case, meaning I have all of the classic symptoms. However, the real diagnosis should come from an ultrasound which identifies the poly cysts on the ovaries. If your doctor did see these cysts, then you have PCOS. You may not have any severe symptoms at this point, but you may notice those symptoms worsening over time. I noticed my symptoms getting worse and worse over the years. I first noticed them at around age 22. Now I’m 30 and they are worse then ever; much worse then they were when I was in my early 20’s. As for the periods, you can still have regular periods with PCOS, especially if you are not overweight (excess weight may be the actual culprit in skipped periods). However, the presence of a period doesn’t mean you are ovulating; it just means you are shedding your endometrial lining. I have a serious case of PCOS and couldn’t get pregnant for 10 years. The only thing that helped me was regulating my hormones. I took birth control for a few months
Go to another doc for second opinion, yes he may be right and you may have PCOS, you don’t have to have any symptoms at all to have it, but considering you are having trouble picking up your LH surge and considering you are TTC, I wonder why he wouldn’t give you anything, that just seems wrong. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17 (13 yrs ago) and had multiple m/c’s, until I moved states remarried and got a new specialist who was shocked beyond belief that I wasn’t given meds to control pcos, so he started me on Metformin and comid (had been on clomid before) and within 3 months I was 5 weeks pg and thanks to Metformin my daughter is now 5yrs old. Metformin saved another pg too and now my 2nd daughter is turning 3yrs old in 11 days. Having regular periods is by no means a definite sign that you are ovulating, if he is right and you do have pcos you are probably having anovulation cycles, and you just can’t get pg if you don’t ovulate, so going by the fact you have hardly any signs o
I would go to another doctor. If you don’t have any symptoms (besides acne) of PCOS and you have very regular cycles it is very unlikely that you actually do have PCOS. It may be something else, like a hormone imbalance. Make sure you find a doctor who uses the newest guidelines for normal hormones, as many use the old guidelines which leaves many women undiagnosed with certain hormone problems, such as hypothyroidism.
