PCOS Test
Description
If you're facing symptoms that you think might be linked to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), our PCOS blood test is here to help shed some light. It's a thorough check-up, looking into your testosterone levels and other indicators that could point towards underlying reasons, as well as assessing your risk for heart disease and type-2 diabetes. We're here to help you get the answers you need, in a supportive and understanding way.

When's the best time to take the test?
We suggest taking this test between day 1 and 5 of your menstrual cycle, with day 1 marking the start of your period. Not on your period? No problem at all, feel free to take the test whenever it suits you. Just a little heads-up: If you're applying any hormone gel or cream, do remember to use the opposite hand to collect your blood sample. This way, we can avoid any mix-ups and ensure your sample is as clear as can be.
