Great video! I would add that a PCOS ovary often has a ring or MANY cysts surrounding the ovary - often referred to as a 'peal necklace'.

Also -unfortunately the stats are actually much higher with PCOS affecting about 1 in 10 women.

[5WaitingWombs]

Well, I'm thinking about redoing this video anyways since youtube is being difficult with the sound issues... so I'll research the statistics more. However, I do know alot of women that have PCOS that don't have cysts...myself I only had 2.

[Sherleelee]

I havent yet been tested for PCOS yet, but i think i may have it, i have every symptom listed here, when i go back to canada in 3 weeks i will be tested , and sadly im 90% sure ill be told i have PCOS...

[5WaitingWombs]

thanks for watching Sherleelee.. also make sure that they do a cortisol test for Cushings Disease as it is VERY similar to PCOS and sometimes gets mistaken for eachother....best of luck to ya!

[AlishaBeth2009]

thanks for posting this...its difficult to explain to some people about pcos. I have been DX since 2006 and been TTC off and on since then..but i appreciate this video as it gives other a better idea of what PCOS looks like. Thank you!

[5WaitingWombs]

thank you Alisha! It was kind of tough for me to show off these pictures as most of these symptoms are horribly embarrasing (especially the dark ring around my neck) but, if it helps someone else to get a proper diagnosis than its worth it to me!

One more thing can ppl still get pregnant, I am guessing some can cause families inherting but then the next generations still here and being born I just noticing this cause of the comments. I guessing its probablyalot harder to have one?

[LuvYrGurlAsh]

I don't have a beard but it's dark little hairs growing on my side lip and darker hairs growing on my chin, I knew i had something wrong with me and it brought me back to the point i felt bad again, and i get those side pains all the time. can anyone relate. Oh and the ironic thing is that i had gotten my period very early like when i was 6. They said i had this adrenal gland thing too.

[LuvYrGurlAsh]

I am very sad to say i have this, I'am 26 years old. My mom took me to the doctor when i was 6 i found out and heard him say i wouldn't be able to get pregnant my mom always told me that isn't true and don't give up. I didn't really wanna believe it and never knew what i had wrong with me. So i guess it's true and I found out later that alot of hair started to grown on my face when i was in highschool and i had irregular periods then by college which is somewhat now its getting worse,

[PrincessKLS]

I have PCOS too but isn't diarreah and stomach pains part of it too, I'm also on medication for it too though.

[mjfromga89]

I have every single one of these symptoms... I'm very nervous now.

[babyfish26]

This video has helped me realize that I am 80% sure that I have pcos and I'm only sixteen. I dont know what to do, am I old enough to go to the doctors on my own without my parents knowing, and also can it cause hormonal imbalances?

[FaythWriter]

My mother was diagnosed with PCOS. Recently, I received a book from her about the condition, because she thinks I may have it. I have almost every symptom on this video, except for the dark ring, skin tags, and the buffalo hump. I am not overweight...but I am very active...it takes a lot to keep my weight down. I really have to watch what I eat, and I'm only 20. I go to the doctor in a week to see if will be diagnosed with it. I'm terrified. :(

[mommystar3]

I thought the buffalo hump was a symptom of Cushings disease??
