Thread: PCOS

Okay Ladies here's the deal. I believe I have PCOS.
For a few months up until late Feb 2010, i had lots of dizziness, disorientation, high blood pressure, nausea, constipated, random vomiting and pains in my stomache and pain in my right side of my abdomen. Hair loss on scalp but hair gain everywhere else, dry skin and scalp, alot of acne break outs.
So thinking it was my Loestrin 24 Birth Control Pills I stopped taking them....a week or so later after the period you get when u stop taking it..I woke up doubled over, vomiting. Went to emergency room, thought it was my appendix, turned out I had a 4 1.2 cm cyst on my right ovary (the ER doc said it was growing for awhile, another doctor said it wasn't)..a few days later had an ultrasound and it was down to 2 cm but I also had other cysts, all looked to be going away. Took a week to feel better, everything went away and i felt wonderful. Started taking my birth control pills and started having those symptoms all over, then had another pain and dizziness to wear i was laying on the floor for 2 days but not as bad as the first. Stopped taking the birth control pills and had another period, stopped, spotted, stopped for two days. Went for a 2nd opionion (that night i started my bc pills again and have stayed on them but i did have a period from that day, April 1st to April 7) the doctor told me to continue taking BC pills, that the dizziness and stomache aches had nothing to do with the cysts and it looks like whenever I get off the pills I will have cysts like the first one that sent me to the er. I want to try to get pregnate in a few months and he told me to stop taking the pills and take prenatal vitamins....uhmmmm what? Won't I be having the pain and everything? Doesn't the cyst's stop fertility? I asked these and he dismissed me! I have looked PCOS and i have just about every symptom.
Now I'm having the dizziness, disoritenation, heart racing, (Which is causing me to panic attacks, cuz im scared and really i'm scared to go out!), constipation, acne is back again, nausea dry skin, pains in my sides, crampy feelings, weight gain and loss and i can only eat once a day now. I think i felt better without the pills even when it took me a week to recover from the cysts.
What I'm wondering if all this is normal for PCOS? Should I try another bc? I was on Depo for a long time but had to get off it, onto pills because i had severe pain during sex and masturbation. I want a normal life!
I hope you all can understand what im saying. Could I have PCOS since i have just about every symptom? Could my dizziness and disorientation be caused by high blood pressured in turn caused by another cyst which could be cuasing the constipation and not eating and nausea? What should I do? THANKS!

I want to thank everyone for their help!
I went and got tested for PCOS Tuesday and got the results back today. NO PCOS! Good thing! I'm wondering if I will always have to worry about cysts when i get off bc or not though. VERY Dissapointed in my Gyno couldn't get a straight answer from him and I called them MONDAY about the bleeding and they never called back...Tuesday i went to a PCP (primary care physican) and he did the test. Switching my BC, I'm believeing alot of the symptoms are from that, and alot of women from forums online report same symptoms...gonna give that a try. Again thanks!
