PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
So far, I have 2 of the symptoms.
Increasing irregularity of menstruation and unexplainable cumulative weight gain since puberty.
I was as thin as my older sister before I hit puberty. She now weighs 115. I weigh 190. I'm relatively active and eat very well.
The dates of my last periods were November 2005 and June 2006. Nice, huh?
I'm getting an ultrasound soon and bloodwork tomorrow. They will help figure out what the problem is. Ultrasound to look for follicle cysts and bloodwork to check my hormone levels.
After the bloodwork, I'm taking progesterone to induce menstruation. Hopefully it will get me back on schedule. If not, I may have to take birthcontrol.
Whether I have PCOS or not, I do need to lose weight, so I'm probably going to do Weight Watchers or something like that.
We'll see.
