PCO and PCOS - confusion!?

[JCIC]

So I spoke to the doctor today who had my results back (mega quick)! I have multiple follicles on both ovaries that are less than 10mm big, suggesting that I have polycysistic ovaries I also have 1 large one on my left ovary which is 20mm. However because I do not have 2 or more symptoms of PCOS they are unsure whether I have this or not? My scan also showed a cystic area on the wall of my womb which could possibly be adenomyosis. the hospital results did not suggest that I should be referred to a specialist however as my doctor could not answer the questions that I had and she understood that I am a worrier she agreed to refer me to the fertility department at the hospital. I was just wondering if any of you could explain what the difference between PCO and PCOS is and how this effects my fertility, also does anyone else have adenomyosis? x

PCO explains what your ovaries look like when they have multiple/many cysts/follicles- pcos is the syndrome - you might have many follicles or cysts and not pcos.....

you dont have to have any follicles or cysts on ur ovaries to have pcos .............

my ovaries are fine but im waiting on my bloods as i have other signs that point towards pcos....... why not ask u doc for cd3 and cd21 bloods then they will have a clear idea from ur hormone blood tests.thats what ive had done just waiting on my report from my gyno!
