I had an ultra sound 2 weeks ago which showed I had PCOS. I just got the blood work back this morning for my hormone levels and it shows nothing abnormal? The doctor says she still suspects I have it because of my acne and the ultra sound.

She also said my cholesterol was high 5.8 but It's actually gone down since last time when it was an 8! In the last month I've completely changed my diet but I'm not overweight, I weigh 65kg.

So, I'm kind of confused? Why would the blood work be normal?

Please help me if you can!

An ultrasound can show that you have polycystic ovaries, but it cannot confirm that you have 'the syndrome'.

Take a look at the information in this link...it also covers 'normal' labs>> QUICK LINKS: Getting a PCOS Diagnosis & Understanding Lab Results

Check the stickies in the SKIN forum for pcos/acne research.
