Are there any other ladies out there with this condition, PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome? I was told I probably had when I was 16 but the ultrasound didn't show anything. Well at 32 I finally convinced a doctor to redo some of the test and my ovaries are very enlarged and covered in cysts. This causes cramping quite often and we all know that can lead to stomach issues. Since I learned for sure this is what it is I've done a little better, at least I don't immediately think "anxiety" when it starts happening.
The main symptoms that I remember are overweight, difficulty losing weight, acne, facial hair, depression, infertility issues. I've done some looking online and though not medically proven, it appears migranes and anxiety may be associated with it too. I think it increases your testerone.
It made me feel alot better knowing there may be something medical behind all this than just feeling like I was crazy. The ultrasound wasn't fun but it was good knowing for sure, so it could be worth asking your doctor if you have a few of the above symptoms.
