When I was 17, a doctor told me I may have PCOS but after running several blood tests and after several ultrasounds, she came to the conclusion that I did NOT have PCOS.

I'm unsure of how to approach doctors about this condition. The last time I tried to speak with someone about they said my weight was the issue and that if i lost weight i would start my period again, my acne would go away, the excess facial hair would go away. She also told me because i had moderately high blood pressure she would not put me on birth control. Has anyone else had this situation happen to them?

I have gone to a few different doctors and brought up the idea that I might have PCOS. The doctor I just went to said that I didn't have enough symptoms, but would run the tests to rule out other similar things. Turns out I was right. You might just have to try different docs until you find one that listens to you.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
