Why would my doctor want me to have more blood work done if shes pretty sure that its pcos??? I had some done already.
My nurse said to make sure that it doesnt do something to something else or something but I didnt understand it.What ALL do u think??
Maybe wants me to have my blood taken because I have been on Metformnin??

do you know what the blood tests are for? how long has it been since the last tests were done? it may just be to rule out other health issues that can at times present themselves as pcos. or to check your hormone levels again to see if the meds you are on are helping. if you don't understand why a test is being done, talk to your dr and have them explain what they're looking for.

No I don't know what the blood test is for.
She will probably tell me when I go back to see her I'm just wondering
about them.
The last time I had blood test was February 12th.
The blood tests were:
BMP/MGA
HEMOGLOBIN GLYCATE
TESTOSTERONE
What ALL do uthink???

You need to be proactive and when she hands you the slip ask what they are for. Know what you are being treated for.
