How old were you when you got diagnosed?

26. I've got all the trademarks. Shave my face every single day...

I started with having twice monthly periods, starting when I was only 9 years old. After I turned 15 my mom took me to the gyno (that was the earliest I could be seen at gyno by my insurance) and was put on the pill to try to regulate my periods.

It didn't work. When I went off, my periods took a long time to restart. Even now I sometimes miss for 11 months. Typically I go about 4 months between periods.

Family doctors aren't qualified to handle hormone imbalance issues (or feminine issues). If a gynecologist can't help, it would be best to see an endocrinologist whose specialty is hormones.

I wasn't going to debate with you in regards to a diabetic diet. I have diabetes mellitus and have spoken with a nutritionist and am monitored twice weekly so I am very affluent with how one should treat their meal planning. You weren't giving low-carb diet advice and a diabetic needs a low-carb diet.

I also have PCOS so I know first-hand who to go to and I've had it since I was 14. Given I have been through everything from ultrasounds, CT scans, and surgery, I do believe I'm fully qualified to interject here. I know for a fact that gynecologists are not as up-to-date on PCOS as an endocrinologist. That is why it is not uncommon for a patient to be sent to one. Family doctors (in the USA) are not specialists and they do not have the skillset to deal with endocrine system issues.

Given that you have asked a question to someone that posted four years ago, it is highly doubtful they will answer any time soon. I am interjecting on behalf of those who might see this thread and consider going to a family doctor which is a waste of time as they can't do anything.
