Well for me I went in with SEVERE pains that they assumed was appendicitis. I started my periods at 10 also and would often have it for 21 days.... then nothing for a while ..... super dooper heavy, and immensley painful.

I went to ER - they said at first it was stoamch flu :rolleyes , sent me home and i was right back in in the morning, appendicitis was ruled out and had surgery by 1 pm. Docs did a rectal check and then an ultrasound and found my right ovary to be hugely swollen. The docs removed a wedge and took out 5 large cysts and so many small ones they weren't countable.

I also have many other clear signs of PCOS - weight gain, hairyness, skin tags, reocurrant cysts, and more. I also don't have some other symptoms. Thats the thing with PCOS as well - not everyone has the same symptoms.

I was put on Triphasil 28's and remained on those till my husband and I decided to try and get pregnant. I went off the bcp's and was pregnant in about a year. I had a difficult pregnancy but I am not sure if some of the things I went thru can be attributed to PCOS. Its possible.

My second pregnancy I got pregnant in about 9 months. So it is possible!

I wish you luck in finding all the info you need.
