Last week I was diagnosed with PCOS officially, although I have had problems for many years. They took some blood tests when I was there, and two days later I was called back and told my TSH levels were high, and I needed to come in and get another TSH test done, and also they added an antibodies test.
I just don't know exactly what this means. Can any of you who are more knowledgeable about everything give me some info in lamens terms?

I have not been called back yet to be told what the conclusion of the second blood tests were. It is very confusing and stressful.

Does this have anything to do with my weight being so high? Or is that just the PCOS? I have been gaining throughout my whole life, and I am pretty active and also follow a balanced diet. I don't eat more than between 1500-1700 calories a day.

Well goodness I am starting to write a novel, so if you read this thanks in advance

well it sounds like to me they believe you are Hypothyroid, which can mess with your weight, fertility, periods, body temp, feeling tired and a host of other symptoms. I like to look at hypothyroidism and PCOS like the chicken and the egg which one came first??

They are checking antibodies to see if you have Hasi's which is an autoimmune hypothyroidism no matter what you will need thryoid meds. Take Care.

Thank you so much for the answer. I am just young and everything I have read online just seems to mush together into one big confusing blob of information.
