The symptoms of PCOS include:
1. Irregular or no menstrual periods
2. Acne
3. Obesity, and
4. Excess hair growth
Other signs and symptoms of PCOS include:
* weight gain,
* acne,
* oily skin,
* dandruff,
* infertility,
* skin discolorations,
* high cholesterol levels,
* elevated blood pressure, and
* abnormal hair growth and distribution.
Any of the above symptoms and signs may be absent in PCOS, with the exception of irregular or no menstrual periods. All women with PCOS will have irregular or no menstrual periods. Women who have PCOS do not regularly ovulate; that is, they do not release an egg every month. This is why they do not have regular periods.
Hope this helps but I would get checked since if you have it you have higher risks for certain things. You can also google it for more information on it. Good luck
get a blood test for hormones, LH, TSH and FSH .
or an ultrasound.
I used contraceptions for six mths too, but it is back now and if u have gained weight.u shoudl talk to ur doctor abotu that too.
