Blood test
Question:
Hi… Got the blood test results back on my teen daughters. The nurse said they looked fine…no signs of PCO….. I didn’t talk to the DR yet…. I am so confused now.. They have all the SYMPs of PCO….she faxed me the test….so if anyone thinks differently about them …please let me know…or if these test are not what needed to be done…. Thanks for all you help, Danna Tupprb…@aol.com Teen #1 (15) Teen#2(17) FSH 4.1 7.4 LH 2.6 10.4 Testosterone Not in 39 DEAH Not in 196 INSULIN didn’t run 3.7 I read that even when in normal range one is to be higher than the other and with PCO these are switched… but I can’t find that information now…. can anyone tell me which it is?

<<I read that even when in normal range one is to be higher than the other and with PCO these are switched… but I can’t find that information now…. can anyone tell me which it is?>> Danna, What Cycle Day were these bloods drawn on for each teen?? It makes a BIG difference. They should have been drawn on Day 3. Regarding your question, Day 3 LH is typically 3x higher than FSH, w/pcos. But again, the key is having the blood drawn on Day 3.
Response:
I am pleased to hear that your daughters tests came back normal. If youstill have some concern, I reccomend that you continue to look into it. I experienced my first symptoms at the onset of puberty. I was not diagnosed until I was 25. I too had all of the blood work done, all my levels were within normal ranges. This does not however prove that one does not have the disorder, It may,however, determin the severity at this time. I was diagnosed with amennorhea which I had all through puberty, I was placed on BCP and this corrected that particular problem. I hope this can help. Kim Jordan
