Not sure if I have PCOS...
I've actually never been tested for PCOS & I'm not sure how to go about doing so. Do I speak to my GP? Or my gyno?
Anyway, I'm supposed to be starting birth control to help regulate my periods.. but I haven't started my period to be able to start the Sunday after my period starts & I think my weight is to blame. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should do? Call my doctor? Wait it out?

I would go to an endocrinologist..
I would also go to a site called soulcyster.com .. she has a messageboard on there too that can help you learn more about PCOS.. and find friendly ENDO's and Gynos to deal with it..
It took me 3 doctor changes before I found the right doctor who understood PCOS.. and didn't just see it as a fat girl disease..

I had my period right before I had my surgery. I actually finished like a couple days before. Well about a week after I started up again and it was a normal flow just like the one right before. I thought that was very peculiar? Everyone said that it was normal because my body had just went through major surgery. But ever since then my period has been so out of whack. I think my last normal period was in Feb and since then they've just gotten worse. My Gyno put me on spiro,metformin, and bc to get my body back into sync. Well bc didn't help one bit. I had breakthrough bleeding when taking bc and when I was suppose to have my actual period didn't have anything besides spotting. So I just completely quit taking and period is still the same. I have breakouts on my face, facial hair like a man, thinning hair in the scalp area on my head. Pain in my ovaries and its slowed down my weightloss (well more like its stopped it completely cause I haven't lost anymore weight in about 2 months!) You should probably talk to your doc and see what he tells you. I am so fed up with drs already its ridiculous!
