A member asked:

Can i do a blood test for polycystic ovary syndrome while i'm in period, or a day before period? if no, which date should i do it for better results?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Any day : There is not one clear cut test for PCOS. There are several different tests that can be done which might increase the suspicion for PCOS. The menstrual cycle day does not matter all that much.

Dr Krishnamurthy and another doctor agreed
