Why Get Tested
PCOS is a common condition where small fluid-filled follicles appear on the ovaries and affects around 1 in 10 women. Each follicle contains an immature egg that does not develop enough to trigger ovulation causing low progesterone levels and abnormally high levels of androgens like testosterone.
Symptoms of PCOS include irregular periods, fertility issues, excess hair, weight gain and oily skin. Symptoms may differ depending on the individual as such its important to monitor your hormone levels.
If you suspect you might have PCOS, a simple PCOS test at one of our clinics will help to give you a better understanding of your hormone levels. We measure over 45 data points including fertility hormones, androgen levels (testosterone) and more to help give you the answers you need. AMH (ovarian reserve) is also included, AMH levels are often found to be higher in females with PCOS due to the excess number of immature follicles in the ovaries.
It is recommended to take the test two to five days after the start of your period, ideally on day three. It can be taken any time if you do not have periods. It is important to note that some types of hormonal contraceptive will affect your results.
