    And why are you so scared of what the doctors would recommend if you had PCOS? They can't MAKE you do anything, and there are plenty of reasonable treatments for PCOS - including specialized diet. You could actually get help and advice if you had a diagnosis, instead of having to be afraid of the possibilities.
    Because of GID.

    What would it take to diagnose PCOS? I don't have any insurance information right now so I couldn't get it diagnosed even if I actually wanted to.

      I thought so, based on what you said earlier about direction of hormones. We try to be understanding of everybody here, so don't be afraid to let us know details about what's going on with you. It helps us help you.

      I think that a PCOS diagnosis would only take an ultrasound and maybe a hormone test, but I'm not sure. Maybe somebody else can answer on that. I have heard that gynos like to prescribe BC pills to help with the symptoms, but as you said, you're not interested in that. If you ever seek to get treated with hormones for GID, you'll want to let your prescribing doctor know about these symptoms and that you suspect you might have PCOS. As this could get quite expensive, I definitely suggest getting good insurance before you begin.
