PCO stands for Poly-cystic ovaries. I was just finally formally diagnosed with this on Monday. It’s when your body fails to make mature follicles and instead of dropping an egg, they stay as cysts in your ovaries. It also has a bit to do with insulin resistance and hormone imbalances, but I don’t have a lot of info on that yet. If anyone has any good PCO support links or information links, I would be really interested in learning more about my diagnosis.

<<PCO stands for Poly-cystic ovaries. I was just finally formally diagnosed with this on Monday. It’s when your body fails to make mature follicles and instead of dropping an egg, they stay as cysts in your ovaries. It sound like you’re defining PAO…polycystic appearing ovaries. Anyone can have immature follicles which stay as cysts, but that doesn’t mean you have the *syndrome*…..PCOS. (PCOS is sometimes referred to as "PCO", tho. Is also referred to as PCOD….polycystic ovary disease.) << It also has a bit to do with insulin resistance and hormone imbalances… pcoS has *everything* to do with insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances….elevated free testosterone, elevated LH, etc. In fact, you can have PCOS (they syndrome) *without* having any cysts on your ovaries. PCOS, the syndrome, is diagnosed by a combination of a variety of symptoms, which may or may not include tiny cysts (unruptured follicles). Such symptoms include irregular or absent periods, male pattern hair loss/growth, acne, acanthosa nigricans, skin tags, insulin resistance, elevated LH and free testosterone, << If anyone has any good PCO support links or information links, I would be really interested in learning more about my diagnosis.

I was wondering if what you described is any thing like my situation.I was put on Clomid to help the follicals mature better.I have 24 day cycles and doc felt like with my cycles being so short that the follicals may not be maturing good enough.After taking the Clomid my cycles were 30 days. — Free audio & video emails, greeting cards and forums Talkway – http://www.talkway.com – Talk more ways (sm)

I have never heard of PCOS being associated with short cycles. Usually, the cycle irregularities associated w/PCOS are very long cycles (like cycling only a few times a year) or lack of cycles, altogether.
