Here are some things that you should have tested with the bloodwork:

Estrogen
Testosterone
Androgen
Liver Enzyme #9 (high insulin levels can throw this off as a false positive for Hepatits)
Insulin in the bloodstream
Total insulin of the body
Blood sugar in the bloodstream
total blood sugar of the body

Thyroid Stimulating
Folicle Stimulating
Iron Levels

Sex binding globulin levels


I would highly encourage you to bring in a 'history' on paper - when you hit puberty, history of what your periods were like, when you started noticing different changes - male-pattern hair growth, male-pattern hair loss, moods, unusual upper abdominal pain.....

Ive been in the medical field now for 13/14 years from which I have studied my own case along with a Dermatologist who has done some amazing research with women who are PCOS like me. I never thought learning about Women's Health would one day lead me to be not only the person who helps educate people, but to also learn about my own unique case as well!


I was told that I should never have survived having my daughter almost 16 years ago - what triggers a number of PCOS-symptoms was that I was never diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes - after having my daughter - that's when my hell began.
