Had a full hysterectomy in 2006, so I donāt have ovaries anymore.
Oops! (insert laughing emoji here) I answered “No, I have not had symptoms of PCOS”. This is absolutely true because I am male. Ha-ha. I should have answered “This health issue does not apply to me”, which is also true.
No, but two of my three daughters have PCOS and Type II diabetes.
I think I may have had it.
I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 26, about 5 years before I was diagnosed with T1D.
I’m in between answers on this one. In my 20s I regularly experienced spotting at 2 weeks into my otherwise very regular monthly cycles. OBGYN thought I could have PCOS from over treating my diabetes with insulin. I believe his rationale was that higher than normal insulin levels in blood from injection could be affecting my other hormones. My endocrinologist disagreed with the diagnosis based on my low weight, insulin sensitivity and absence of other symptoms. I took oral birth control pills for a while which resolved.
The question, as written is very misleading! No, I have not been diagnosed with PCOS. I am not familiar with the symptoms of this, so I really do not know if I have any. Please reword, or explain what the symptoms are before asking in this manner.
The answer was ‘no’, but somehow I accidentally pushed on the ‘yes’! Oops!
A littler confusing, the main question is āHave you been diagnosedā and the No answer is about having symptoms of PCOS.
I was diagnosed in 1974 (age 16) with PCOS. I was diagnosed with T1D in 2005 (age 47).
