DO I HAVE PCOS?? :[ (15Y.O.)?

You have to tell us when you had your first period. If you had it when you turned 15 or even 14, it is fine, periods tend to be irregular for the first year of so. If it has been 2-3 years without normal periods, then yes you do have PCOS, but the blood test would have to confirm this. You would have irregular hormones, higher level of testosterone, possibly: facial hair, be overweight, or have ovarian cysts (not all these symptoms at once, necessarily). They will give you birth control pills, or if you are against birth control pills, he will give you Metformin, which is a pill for diabetics, but works for PCOS as well, because it also regulates hormones like the birth control pill does. Choose carefully.
