I wouldn't 'attempt to get' a pcos diagnosis. Prior to your appointment, take the time to list ALL of the problems you're having (to make sure you don't forget anything.)

Also bring in a VERY comprehensive menstrual history, and take it from there.

The symptoms of PCOS are similar to a few other disorders, to best to simply start with a baseline. PCOS is a dianosis of 'exclusion', meaning that your doctor should first exclude other possible explanations for your symptoms before deciding on PCOS.
