I recently had to go to the student clinic here in Logan, and the (i guess) doctor or nurse there first off kept saying I probably didn't actually have PCOS and that my actual doctor probably misdiagnosed me, and then gave me the riot act because I haven't been taking my birth control.

Depends of the type of PCOS.
I had an ultrasound done to confirm pcos/painful cramping. It confirmed pcos. I had to get a follow-up ultra sound for a complex cyst they found. So 6 months later, after being on birth control for ever! My ovaries were still full of simple cysts. One of my ovaries had more than before.. I dont feel like theres any truth to it.
Yea I have had it done. the doctor I have wouldn't say that was his official diagnosis without it.
