Pregnancy Info HOME

This is not about ttc, but I have been looking up information on PCOS. I read that instead of a pear shape abdomen you will have a apple shape abdomen and a decrease in breast size. I am a small person, but with a swollen and hard stomach and swollen breast. To me I do not have an apple shape abdomen, more like a one-sided pear shape. My pregnancy tests have been negative and I have been having irregular periods starting just this year(been regular since 12). I do not possess any facial hair, but I do have a little hair on my stomach since I was little. Always had hair on my arms and legs but just a little. All the insulin and thyroids are normal,but I also read they can be normal and that could be a sign of PCOS. I have been to several doctor one last week and this week and another one tomorrow. The doctor last week said I do not have any cyst and my ovaries are normal size(not enlarged). The doctor I went to on Tuesday says their are cysts on my ovaries and I could have PCOS, but she would have to look at my lab work from the other doctors to determine that. To me my symptoms mimic pregnancy, but could not be. I even feel and see movement in my stomach and my crotch, but that could be something else too. The internet is so confusing because they say irregular period does not always mean PCOS and the doctors would have to check for hirituism. I do have milk coming from my breast, but still confusing since it could be a sign of hypothyroid. I have been to several doctors this year and was never told I had any cysts. So who do I believe or do I just go and see what the other doctor says. How were any of you diagnose with PCOS? Can I have these problems for months and not have any cyst and then the cysts form.
