You can have PCOS AND HAVE ALL YOUR TESTS COME BACK IN THE NORMAL
RANGE...what they don't tell you on those ranges is that there is alot
of tests where one chemical should be in proportion to another...for
example, FSH to LH should be 3:1 I believe...mine were both in the
normal range, but when compared to eachother they were at 1:10 when I
was first diagnosed...
Good luck...surf this forum, you'll find alot of answers... or post
your results and one of the real knowledgeable folk will point out what
it means.
