Can you still have PCOS even if your periods are regular? Is there a risk of infertility in this situation? Should I be taking any medication for my acne? My DHT levels are normal, but my ultrasound shows bilateral polycystic ovaries. Is this different from PCOS? I'm worried about starting cytomid because of its side effects and considering I don't even have high DHT. Can you help me with these concerns about medication and PCO?
