PCOS manifests itself differently in every woman, but i was diagnosed when my testosterone came back at 4.1 (normal Canadian value range for pre menopause female is .7 - 3.1) and my free anrogen was a 21 (normal is 8.5 or lower).
Twice annually I have my kidney and liver functions done, my fasting glucose, FSH/LH, testosterone, free androgen, cholestoral workup, iron & TIBC.
Hope it helps.
