How Do You Know What Type Of Pcos You Have.
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I didn't know there were different types of pcos. When I was diagnosed my doctor didn't tell me they type she just said I have it. How can I tell what type I have? Or do I need to get rediagnose?

Go to PCOS Diva website and search through her podcasts. There's a really informative one about the 5 different types, and you'll know right away what you are.
