There's not a single conclusive test for it.
It's something where your doc looks at a whole bunch of shit, and goes 'yup', and then depending on the severity, says 'sucks to be you', or 'take this regularly', or 'call me if this happens'

In my case, family history + the lack of a regular period/lack of a period + ultrasound was what they used to diagnose. elise also has it, but hers is way, way, way worse than mine.

If it's not causing you any problems, it doesn't even matter if you have it. In my case, we only found out because with me not living at home, and in the care of some absolutely retarded people, my parents were alarmed that I was not menstruating, so my mom goes 'let's make sure she doesn't have PCOS before I start laying into folks'

I've had one cyst rupture, and that's been the only troublesome manifestation. If I didn't know about the PCOS, I'd have hauled ass to the ER, because I felt like a volcano was trying to eat my hip and then tear me apart from the inside. It was so terrible. For my mom, that happens a couple times a year, to a couple times a month. The PCOS is to blame for how fucking hairy I am, though and probably contributes to my weight.

It also can causes insulin resistance similar to diabetes II, and that's why one of the few things they can do for it is glucophage/metformin. It alleviates, not treats. As an endocrine disorder, it fucks with a lot of shit.

xtine, they are now finding out insulin resistance causes PCOS, not the other way around!

In my case they drew ALOT of blood and then did an ultrasound. I have classic symptoms, so they thought it was PCOS from the beginning.
