My daughter was just diagnosed with PCOS, you really need to have the full panel of blood tests done to diagnose that, it isn't diagnosed just by looking for cysts. I forget which doctor that writes about PCOS talks about that, but he says PCOS is a syndrome, a cluster of symptoms, not just one thing. She had her thyroid, testerone, and a bunch of other tests( I really should know, but can't remember right now done.
So I can't answer your questions, but I would definitely want some blood work done before getting the diagnosis of PCOS.
