I have PCOS and I have found a REALLY great book that explains it all in detail. It is PCOS: Polycystic Ovary System, The Hidden Epidemic. It is written by Samuel S Thatcher, Ph.D.. It goes over diagnosing the problem, how to lose weight, fertility help, etc. If you even suspect you have PCOS I would pick a copy up and read it.

I'm 15 and I have PCOS. But I happen to be insulin resistant. It doesn't rule out PCOS because you have the irregular periods that probably last 15 days like mine and you are having trouble convincing. Good Luck :) It doesn’t always effect your blood sugar.

If she tested LH, FSH, Progesterone, etc then shes on the right track because PCOS can be identified by those tests. Hope this helps.

I'm being treated for PCOS as my insulin levels are high but my blood sugars are normal. I also had the full scan and exam and I don't have cysts either so don't let people tell you that's what it is. They need to test more than your blood sugar.
