Meg, I am so sorry to hear about all the troubles you have been having lately, fingers crossed you will get some answers soon enough.
Ok, symptoms for me were:
Weight Gain
Irregular Cycles ranging from 40 - 70+ days
Cysts on my Ovaries
Not Ovulating...
Ok the tests that were done on me were, the Glucose Tolerence Test (GTT) & Insulin Resistance, I had an ultrasound (if you have polycystic ovaries its pretty easy to tell...mine looked like swiss cheese LOL). They generally check your thyroid too JIC. I am not sure of any other tests as far as I know that was it.
Symptoms vary for everyone, some experience hair growth/loss, skin tags.
Since being on metformin I have realised how different I was with PCOS. My moods & energy levels have stabilised (good for marc LOL).
