Do I Have PCOS?

One of the most common questions I get from readers is some variation of "I have x, y, and z symptoms. Do I have PCOS?" or "My doctor thinks I have PCOS, but I don't have a, b, or c symptoms. Do I really have PCOS?"

Because of the way that PCOS is diagnosed, many women find themselves doubting the diagnosis, or in some cases, the lack of a diagnosis. So what should you do if you aren't sure that your doctor is right?
