Is this polycystic ovary syndrome?



Well, the signs that I have are: being overweight, being very hairy and having very oily, slightly spotty skin. However, instead of having no or few periods, I have them very often (every 3 weeks or so) and they are very heavy. I was just wondering is this pcos?

it could be as you have most of the symptons. my friend periods were still regular but mine are not both of us are heavy when on a period .we both have pcos
every one is affected differently by pcos and you don't always have all of the symptons (it is hard to diagnose because of this).
i would suggest you go and see a dr and ask for blood tests to check and also ask for a scan. this is the only way you can know for sure.
best of luck and try not to worry it might not be pcos but something else
