Okay so this question hit home because I've been very frustrated with getting a diagnosis. After finally going to an obgyn who knew what they were skiing I've been diagnosed. You can absolutely be tested. Request a blood test (Specifically your dhea sulfate level) and request a pelvic ultrasound. And try to keep track of your irregular menstrual cycle. You only need 2 of the 3 to be diagnosed.

I was diagnosed last week after an emergency admission to hospital with sever abdominal pain, turned out be a ruptured ovarian cyst and an internal ultrasound diagnosed my polycystic ovaries. I would have very irregular periods last one being in October!!

Thank you all. I have the excess hair growth on my chin, thinning hair on my head, unexplained weight gain, pain in my abdomen on both sides, I have only had one period in almost a year and thats because she gave me some hormone pill for 10 days, tired all the time. But she still hasn't diagnosed me with anything yet. They did a transvaginal ultrasound but on my uterus. I'm also infertile unless I take hormone therapy. I'm just ready for a diagnosis and a treatment plan lol.

I went to see the gyno for an extended period after a long absence and he did an transvaginal ultrasound and saw cysts on my ovaries. And I have excessive hair growth

I personally was surgically diagnosed everyone is different. I have had multiple surgeries that help for a little while and then its right back where I started.
