PCOS? Hand hold...

Hoping someone with some PCOS knowledge can help me here.

Been in and out of the Dr's for a few weeks with lower tummy pain, was told it was a cyst which had burst now shouldn't cause me any more pain.

Ultrasound results have just unveiled 'too many follicles' in the left ovary, and a hemorrhagic(?) cyst on the right ovary. Blood tests have all come back 'normal'.

Dr has mentioned PCOS, could it be? If it is, what does it mean for me? I was born with dermoid ovarian cysts which weren't removed until I was about 13, so this hasn't come as a shock to me really, just want to hear your opinions and PCOS experiences.

I have pcos. Diagnosed following ultrasound scan and blood tests after TTC for several years of irregular periods.

I eventually fell pregnant naturally. I tend to gain weight v easily, crave carbs and have facial hair... i think it can vary in severity.

Try to google pcos diet or pcos tips and there is lots of advice about managing symptoms.
