can someone fill me in!?

 I think i may have PCOS but i have never been to a ob-gyn so i obviously dont know for sure. But what exactly happens when you do have it? I rarely get my period on time, sometimes not for months at a time. And when i do get it it is in large jelly like clumps ( gross, sorry!) I was just wondering if anyone could let me know what it is or how you know if you have it. thanks!

Have your OBGYN test your blood. 

PCOS puts your hormone levels all out of wack and then can see that in a blood test. 

Also, it is coupled with a whole host of symptoms...you may or may not have all of them:

* irregular periods
* weight gain
* excess hair either on face or abdomen area
* insulin resistance (carbs turn straight to fat)


there's more, but there are some basics for ya.  Good luck.  PCOS is a biatch.

oh yeah...and duhhhhhhhhhhh

cysts on your ovaries.....

:)

They will also test to see if you are insulin resistant!
