Well - for pcos diagnosis you need to meet 2 criteria from a list
For years ive had hairy chin
But my mum - nana & great nana also had that
Could be hereditary.
Could be pcos
Then - my cycles used to be 28 days clock work 4 years..
Had covid jan 2021
Had ebv summer 2022
Low feretin may 2023
Colon polyps march 2023
Emergency colonoscopy marchh 2023
Another 2 colonoscopies since
My CRP ( inflammation) in body has been up
Pcos = can be inflammatory.. 4 some people - theres different types of pcos
.
Apart from when mega stressed due to cancer scares and when grieving 4 a close relative - - now my cycles are mainly 30 - 34 ish days
But definitely not as regular as they were b4
Then on latest t.v scan - ovaries = polycystic in appearance
Thats enough 4 pcos diagnosis
Im starting metformin in a bit -, from gynaecologist / gynae consultant. But many on it have way more eratic periods than me.
Some people struggle to concieve with inflammation ( i keep having colon polyps removed and i have a fibroid and a liver condition and gallstones )
You are well within your rights to ask for
- a full blood count. ( get one every 12 months min )
- feretin test
- crp blood test - good inflammation marker
- vit d blood test - many Brits are deficient ^^ i got mine from 33 to 77 to nearer 100
- b12 blood test - dya havr regular potato and 3 eggs a week ?
Etc
Fertility foods - carrot - eggs - iron rich cereal
Etc
If you might have pcos - low gi foods are good
And reduced sugar .
In July last year my ovaries didnt look polycystic
My mum had 2 children and at times had polycystic ovaries and @ times didnt..
It can be reversed / go away etc.
Also - if youve never had a poop test // Q fit test - my colon polyps were only discovered by doing that nhs test .
