After being told that my ovaries appeared borderline polycystic by my GP, I had a bit of a tantrum when he more-a-less told me that I had PCOS. I did some reading and saw that some people had polycystic ovaries without the syndrome. I don't have problems with my weight, excessive hair or high testosterone so I couldn't figure out how I could have the syndrome.
I went along to a new OBGYN and showed him all of my details, including hormone blood tests, ultrasounds and basically my entire gynae history. I had written all of my questions on a piece of paper and he answered each of my questions. He said that our first plan of action would be to complete more blood tests, including a GTT (glucose tolerance test), thyroid tests AMH test and progesterone 21 test. Oh and my husband would need a blood test and a semen test. Lucky guy.
He said that after that we would need to book in a laparoscopy (remove any endometriosis adhesions) including a hysterosalpingogram (where they put dye to check your tubes).
So I checked my ovulation date and a booked in my GTT a week later...
