I'm unable to see a doc now, but I was just curious if anyone has any insight.
For the past two years or so, maybe 18 months, I've been noticing more facial hair and leg hair. I've always had a few chin hairs, and slightly thicker/longer sideburns. But over the past 18-24 months I've noticed that, for example, when I used Veet back in the day to remove the chin hairs, it would take at least 4 weeks for them to START growing back. Now it hasn't even been 2 weeks since the last time, and it's already almost half way there. I don't really shave anywhere else, but I've noticed that, although it doesn't seem to be thicker, the amount of hair on my legs has increased somewhat (I never had much to begin with, and it's still not much, which is part of the reason I don't bother shaving or otherwise removing it). My sideburns are longer (as in further down my face) and thicker (in terms of the concentration of amount of hair).
Also, I think it was late last year when I started to notice like globs of...well I'm not sure what it was, when I would menstruate. At first I thought it was just a glob of tissue that got mauled while I was wiping, lol. But then once I said "Nah this looks too odd' so I poked it (not with my finger). I could tell that it was something from inside me. That hasn't happened in a while. Around the same time, I was having pelvic pain, mostly in my right side. In the middle of the summer 2010, I went to the ER. Got a CAT scan for something unrelated to this, but told them about the pelvic pain, so they included my pelvic area in the CAT scan and found a cyst on my right ovary, but they said that I have nothing to worry about.
Although I haven't seen the bloody globs of...whatever that stuff was, and I don't seem to get pelvic pain/discomfort like I used to, I'm still concerned. The docs said the cyst was nothing to worry about, and I hope they're right, but I'm not so sure.
Do these symptoms add up to anything?
