Members flutterbie Posted October 4, 2008 Members Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 PCOS.The docs are testing my blood to see if I've got it. The preliminary tests have come back saying that I'm within range to have it, and they want to test me again after my cycle is over.I don't even know how to feel right now. I always suspected that something wasn't quite right, and at least now I know what can be causing it, but I'm afraid of what this is gonna do to my future.Anyone here have it and can give some insight??
