Women with PCOS seem to have higher levels of LH in their system so they get false positives. I got a false surge earlier on (around CD14) and then I must have missed my surge when I O'd and then got ANOTHER surge AFTER I O'd.. so OPKs don't work for me.
Maybe your GP doesn't think it's necessary to do a hormone panel yet cos you don't have any other PCOS symptoms? But If you were on the pill 9 months ago when that previous BT was run, that definitely won't give you a true indication of what your hormones are doing. Also, I had tests for testosteron levels, prolactin and TSH cos they can all cause screwy hormone levels and irregular periods.
Maybe ask your GP when you go through your scan about getting your hormone levels checked, will give you a better picture of what's going on (if the GP can't figure it out from the US).
And yeah... what Ausgirl said - they'll do both (internal and external). External is the worst with a full bladder... Ooooooh the relief when you get to pee before having dildo cam...
Good luck honey!![]()
