Aa
I dont know what to do.
I havn't have my period in over 6 months. I went to the Gyno and told him everything. After a pelvic exam and a pap smear he threw a baby book at me and gave me a preg test which came back negative. Then he ordered me to take a internal ultrasound and the doctors said everything was normal.
I was talking to my father (who used to work as a ultrasound tech) and the girl who did my ultrasound told him I have very small cysts on my ovaries. Without him I wouldnt have been told.
In july I get my health insurance back (on my dads plan) and I want to see whats really going on but I dont know where to start. Sould I demand hormone tests or just ask for birth control pills and hope they work?

PCOS or PCOD is one of the easiest forms of reduced fertility to treat. you can research this. Some women get pregnant no problem even with this. Most often a lower carb diet, exercise and sometimes the drug metformin will normalise cycles and restore fertility. If these are not enough, there are also other treatments that are often quite effective.
Hope this helps.

My personal exp - Docs say said its difficult and I believed them whole 10yrs or so I was worried(I was around 16yrs or so when I got to know I have PCOD). But I was able to concieve on my own within 6 mths. I didnt even realize I was preg till I was almost 2mths.
A endo would be able to guide you properly. When I was diagnosed with PCOD he gave me Contraceptive and couple of more which I dont rem now. After taking for 2 yrs I stopped and went to different doc after a yr. He didnt see any pbm with me. I didnt have pbm for sometime than I started facing it again.
Does that mean I wont be able to have kids without invertro or some other extreme measure?
If you have cysts then there is a good possibility that you have PCOS. That could be the reason you are not ovulating. Other reasons for not ovulating are Thyroid problems. Did you get your Thyroid tested? It sounds like you don't have a very sympathetic doctor and I would try to find one that will work with you.
