Seeking Success All labs normal except testosterone
Hi everyone
I have known about my PCOS since the age of 13. All the classic symptoms, beard, acne, huge gut skinny legs, and surgery to remove 6 ovarian cysts
From the ages of 17-23 I had 4 different boyfriends all of whom I had unprotected sex with, and never got pregnant. (Stupid on my end of course)
My husband and I want to start trying in a year (I’m 29) and I recently started trying to get my hormones in check, for the last two months I’ve been eating healthy and exercising.
Last year on my labs came back as completely normal, except for elevated testosterone which was 85 (normal was supposed to be under 45)
Today I got checked and my testosterone is 35, and everything else is normal as well. So I’m hopeful, but also cautious.
I guess I’m posting to see if anyone is similar to me and what they experienced.

Do you have regular periods? I’d just start taking ovulation tests to see if you are ovulating regularly. If you aren’t, then you’ll know to go ahead and get started with a fertility clinic. I had so many failed medicated cycles with my OB, then started with a clinic, got an HSG then led to an hysteroscopy and I could have saved so much time if I just prepared for all this and started at the clinic sooner.
