Hi all,
I'm under the care of a fantastic uro-gynae (for a bladder op) who recently asked about my menstrual cycle. I explained that I don't really have periods - just the tiniest spot on ONE day, twice a month. This is despite getting awful period pain and swollen breasts etc for about two weeks (and am an utterly horrible emotional, hormonal monster!). It's all talk no action!
He did a scan and found 10 cysts in my left ovary and said he wanted to check for PCOS. The blood tests taken on Day 3 after my first period (if you can even call it a period - a pretty pathetic excuse for a period!) revealed:
FSH: 2.9, LH: 12.5, Estrogen: 500
I haven't seen him to discuss this yet, but my GP said "it explains your irregular periods - speak to your consultant".
Does this look like PCOS? The waiting is killing me and I don't see him for another two weeks.
I'm 27 with no kids and I would really hope that I could start a family over the next couple of years.
Any advice would be much appreciated x
