As a Woman

PCOS Q&A - Hormones, Irregular Cycles, and Diagnosis


Listen Later

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers your voicemails about PCOS.

Questions Answered:

  1. How did I get PCOS in the first place? What is the likelihood that my daughters will also have it? What are some of the early symptoms I can look for?
  2. I am not quite ready to get pregnant but I am ready to start thinking about it. I was diagnosed with PCOS and my periods are irregular. What is your recommendation for tracking ovulation?
  3. I was diagnosed with PCOS but my periods are normal and my hormones are normal. Could I have been misdiagnosed? I don’t want to get on hormones if it’s going to make things worse.
