Hi Angela,

There is no blood test for PCOS, because this is a clinical diagnosis, a bunch of symptoms (i.e. a syndrome). There are several hormonal and metabolic parameters that subtantiate the diagnosis. The hormonal values are not informative if you take a BCP, your dr shuold have known. Ultrasound is also a piece of the puzzle. For your info
