So I'm wondering about PCOS. It's something I've thought about for a while, but I've never been brave enough to bring it up with the doctor. I'm the kind of person that thinks if I ignore something enough it'll go away. It's like when you're a kid, if you put your hands over your eyes and can't see something, it's not real/there!
So anyway, the main things that make me think it are the hair growth and irregular periods. BUT I have an underactive thyroid so the symptoms could be down to that, though I didn't spot any improvement with Thyroxin. My periods are a lot more regular now than they used to be though, think that's due to losing some weight too.
Anyway, are the symptoms likely to just be due to my thyroid problem? Or is PCOS possible/likely too? Any advice or experiences shared would be appreciated!
