Can it be PCOS if blood tests are normal?From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 24 Feb 2001 09:57:26 -0600 (CST)
I have the classic symptoms of PCOS; obesity, acne & excess facial hair, infertility, and irregular cycles. If a cycle does happen, I've had several occasions where it had to be stopped with oral contraceptives (when younger) and progesterone (as I try to concieve). My blood tests however,come back normal in the areas of LH & FSH levels, DHEA sulfate (39mg/dl) and free testosterone (1.40). Cortisol was also normal(5.6), but I understand that may not be an accurate reading as it was a random measurement done during a blood test. I'm wondering if it is possible to have normal test results and still have PCOS, or if I need to look elsewhere for solutions to my obesity (I've tried every diet imaginable. The one I have some success w is the low carb diet) & infertility. I haven't found a Dr. in WI who knows much about PCOS. My OB/GYN mentioned that this may be what I have, but didn't know much more about the problem. I've been searching for answers ever since.
