PCOS test — the panel that confirms (or rules out) it.
PCOS is a pattern, not a single number. It usually shows up in androgens (testosterone, DHEA-S), LH:FSH ratio, low SHBG, raised fasting insulin and metabolic markers — alongside the physical symptoms.
Her Form runs the panel that confirms or rules out PCOS, identifies the subtype (insulin-resistant, post-pill, adrenal, inflammatory), and you can book Robyn for an optional consult on a subtype-specific protocol.
What we test
Total + free testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S — the androgen picture.
LH and FSH — classic PCOS shows a raised LH:FSH ratio.
Fasting insulin + HbA1c — most PCOS is insulin-driven; this is the most actionable lever.
Full thyroid — thyroid disease mimics PCOS symptoms.
Prolactin — to rule out other causes of cycle disruption.

Can you diagnose PCOS from blood alone?+
PCOS diagnosis uses the Rotterdam criteria — 2 of 3: irregular cycles, hyperandrogenism (physical or bloodwork), polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. Bloodwork covers the androgen and metabolic side; we'll tell you whether ultrasound is the next step.
When in my cycle should I test for PCOS?+
If you still have cycles, day 2–5. If your cycles are absent or very irregular, any day works.
I've been told I have PCOS but my bloods were 'fine'.+
Common. PCOS-symptom women with normal-looking standard panels often have raised fasting insulin or low SHBG — markers most GPs don't run. We do.
Can PCOS affect my fertility?+
Yes — but it's manageable. PCOS is one of the most common causes of irregular ovulation, but most women with PCOS who want to conceive do. Knowing your subtype (insulin-driven, adrenal, post-pill, inflammatory) shapes the protocol that actually moves the needle on ovulation.
How long does it take to get PCOS test results?+
Typically 7–14 working days from the home draw. Results come with a written review by our health specialists. You can book Robyn for an optional 1:1 consult to walk through your subtype and the protocol options.
