Hey ladies i really need some info here, about two months ago i was put on Met and had my blood tested for hormone levels and such, I got a call back from the Dr. today and they said that my hormone levels are normal?? But they also said that something was elevated... not a hormone but something else and she then proceeded to tell me that i would have to wait until thw Dr. Was back from out of town to find out exactly what and if i need to be referred somewhere? This has me pretty scared. I think she said something about D or D14 something?? I am really not sure what it was she called the elevated result, does anyone have ANY idea of what this may be or what is going on?? Please any answers help. |

She ran lab tests and told me that my hormone levels were normal and that I might not have it after all. She referred me to an endocrenologist, who said I DID have it. He explained that some women have reactions to even the slightest change in hormone levels. My hormone levels were all within a normal range, but were at the higher end of normal. The hormone levels combined with the symptoms give your doc a clearer picture of what is going on. If I were you, I would talk to the doc when they get back to see what they say. If you are unsatisfied, get asecond opinion. |

When I was first tested my results were all normal, but I had an OB/GYN tell me that the range for normal was outrageously large.
Keep plugging along and try to a second opinion. Even when you find a doc willing to make the dx, they aren't always willing to TREAT things. It's maddening, but the way things are. Don't give up.

I had a dr tell me once that there was "nothing she could do." Come to find out she was much more interested in her OB patients than GYN. Find a dr with a passion for helping us!

Too many T words... Don't panic, hon. Just wait until you can get in for another appointment. If it was something urgent, they'd refer you to someone in town.
By the way, I was dx in 2002. And now my hormones are within the normal ranges, and really my symptoms are minimal at this point. But I guess I'll always have the label of PCOS and always be waiting for it to rear its ugly head sometime in the future.
