Since PCOS is a syndrome, not everyone has all the symptoms, but the fact that your ultrasound is coming back negative is what surprises me. I know several people with PCOS who get regular periods, so that wouldn't rule you out. I also know several people with PCOS who got pregnant, more than once, without medical intervention, so maybe their ovaries weren't cystic. (Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.) There's not one test that will definitively tell you that you have PCOS, it's based on symptoms. I have the following symptoms: hirsutism, skin tags, amenorrhea & anovulation, "string of pearl" ovaries on ultrasound, weight gain and difficulty maintaining healthy weight. However, all of my hormone levels are normal.
