PCOS Testing

Emily

I’ve been suspicious for years of having PCOS. I have had a problem with excess hair, especially on my face and I can’t control my weight. In the last year I’ve gained 100 pounds with no explanation. However, I do have normal periods.

Can anyone explain to me how the testing works or how you knew you had it? I have an appointment on Wednesday and I’m so terrified.

Update: I went to get a blood test yesterday. They’re checking testosterone, progesterone, a bunch of other hormones and looking at a metabolic panel. Hopefully will have some answers soon. 🤞🏻
