It's not at all uncommon for bloodwork to come back "normal" in PCOS because the lab values are so broad. Mine always does, so I've had years of being told there's nothing actually wrong with me despite the body doing all kinds of crazy stuff. Unfortunately, it's not at all common to find a doctor who will look at the person rather than the paperwork. As has already been mentioned, an ultrasound to see if you have cysts on your ovaries will be very useful. If you don't, then that's going to make things a lot less easy for you, I'm afraid. I agree with the above poster who suggested a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist. You ought to have had a full hormone profile done anyway, just insulin and thyroid won't necessarily show anything. Was your insulin test a three-hour glucose tolerance test with multiple blood draws?
