What I listed was all labs pertaining to PCOS...not neccessarily the ones used for diagnosis (for example, cholestoral can be elevated in many people, not just PCOS).
Some Dr's weigh labwork (insulin, free androgen, fasting glucose, testosterone etc.) others weight symptoms more heavily. Diagnosis is often a complicated thing...every woman seems to manifest a different cominations of symptoms/bloodwork. Some PCOS ladies have labwork that is abnormal and no outward symptoms. Others have physical symptoms and labs appear normal (that was me). Some women are a mix of both, so PCOS is often a syndrome of exclusion.
My suggestion is to do all the reading you can on the various symtoms of PCOS and highlight the ones that pertain to you (no periods, weight gain, acne etc) show your Dr the list of labs that I posted that may be abnormal. (Another good place to gather information regarding speaking to your Dr is in the newbie section:

Print off lots of info for your next appt. Most Dr's don't respond particularly pleasantly to being 'demanded' anything, but if you arm yourself with lots of information, he may be pressured to give you a thorough work-up. Good Luck!
I know that going off pill and not cycling is hard, but congrats on starting the process of treating the problem of pcos, not simply synthetically covering up the symptoms with the pill. Deciding to treat PCOS without BCP's was the best decision I have ever made.
Feel free to post with any other questions...the girls on the forum know lots and are always full of good information.
