I need help my doctor has run some blood work to deterine if I have PCOS. Is it true you can run the test at anytime throughout your cycle or is it better to test on a certain cycle day. I have one DD age 4 and 4 miscarriages and 1 termination at 18 weeks due to trisomy 13. My doctor ran blood work and told me any day was fine so here goes my results:

FSH 4.0 mIU/mL
LH 7.5 mIU/mL

Prolactin 8.6 ng/ml
DHEA S 172 mcg/dL

Androsteenedione 119 ng/dl

Testosterone Total 24 ng/dL
Testosterone Free .88 %
Free Testosterone 2.1

Are the above levels normal and is it okay to run the above test on any day?

I have the following symptoms too:

thinning hair
facial hair
acne
repeated miscarriages
trouble losing weight
elevated triglycerides
high blood pressure
low progesterone

Can one be treated for PCOS with the above levels and symptoms? I really feel this is the reason for my losses. Suggestions???

I'm still learning about this myself, but from what I read online when the LH levels are twice or more times the FSH it is an indicator of PCOS. Though I have yet to get back in contact with my Dr after my diagnosis (I received the results in the mail), my FSH level was 3.6 and my LH was 12.9 which my dr wrote was "definitely double the 3.6 and usually indicates polycystic ovaries". When I had my bloodwork done I also had to have an ultrasound because my dr said both had to be used in the diagnosis.

Sorry I don't have more answers, but I wish you luck!
