▲ 2 r/PCOS

Hi, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, however I'm concerned I may have pcos. I'm not looking for a diagnosis, that's what the doc is for but I can't go currently. I have a lot of symptoms and I'm hoping someone could shed some light if my problems could be PCOS or not. So for starters my periods are never the same, sometimes they're heavy and I swear I lose a pint of blood, sometimes they're super light and I don't even really notice it. I hardly ever skip periods and also my periods are super erratic during like for an hour I will have the worst cramps where I feel my guts twitch and stuff then an hour later I'm not even cramping and lightly bleeding.

I also just wanted to add that I'm 18, I've never been to a gynaecologist because my mom didn't really take care of me, I have been SA'd a lot in my life so please forgive me if this is just a bunch of normal stuff and I'm being too anxious.

Anyways, to continue I feel like my hair is a bit more than it should be, I have hair above my upper lip that looks like a moustache and my pubic hair grows a bit outside of the bikini area, I also have a happy trail and slight unibrow(idk if that's normal) I also have a super hard time losing weight and it seems like eating just bowl of cereal will add 10 pounds. I also have problems with my heart occasionally feeling like it's flipping in my chest, wether im laying down to sleep, doing dishes it doesn't matter. I also have a pretty greasy face and even if I wash my face at least an hour later it feels greasy again. I also have had some ovarian cyst problems before.

I also have these small patches of skin on my neck, sternum and inner thighs that's dark I' would add pics but I can't. As of now, that's really all I can think of off the top of my head that are symptoms or related to PCOS. I'm just looking for some help, not a diagnosis, not just a "you're just fat" I'm genuinely asking help here, I'm more than willing to answer questions and explain more.
