Is This You?

PCOS Doesn't Look the Same for Everyone

PCOS is a hormonal condition, not just a fertility issue -- and it's diagnosed by a combination of symptoms and labs, not one single test. That's exactly why it gets missed so often: a "normal" hormone panel doesn't rule it out if the right markers weren't checked, and irregular periods alone are frequently written off as stress.

We look at the full picture -- cycle history, symptoms, and a complete hormone panel -- before making any diagnosis or building a plan.

Common Signs of PCOS

Irregular, infrequent, or absent periods
Difficulty losing weight despite consistent effort
Acne along the jawline, chin, or chest
Excess facial or body hair growth (hirsutism)
Thinning hair on the scalp
Difficulty getting pregnant
Skin tags or darkened skin patches (neck, armpits)
Mood changes tied to hormonal fluctuation

The Process

From Symptoms to a Real Plan

PCOS is diagnosed by ruling things in and out -- not by guessing off one lab.

Initial Consultation

Brittany reviews your cycle history, symptoms, and health goals in detail.

Full Hormone Panel

We order relevant androgens, LH/FSH, and metabolic markers -- the labs actually used to evaluate PCOS, not just a generic panel.

Results Review

We walk through your results together and build a treatment plan around your specific goals -- cycle regulation, fertility, skin, or all three.

Ongoing Management

PCOS is managed long-term. We recheck labs and adjust your plan as your body responds.

You May Be a Good Fit If...

✗Regular follow-up labs are required to safely adjust treatment

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PCOS actually diagnosed? +

PCOS is typically diagnosed when you meet at least two of three criteria: irregular or absent ovulation, signs of excess androgens (like acne or excess hair growth, or elevated labs), and polycystic-appearing ovaries on ultrasound. It's not a single blood test -- it's a clinical picture built from your symptoms, labs, and history.

What labs do you order? +

This depends on your symptoms, but typically includes androgens (like total and free testosterone, DHEA-S), LH and FSH, and metabolic markers like fasting insulin and glucose, since insulin resistance is common with PCOS. We tailor the panel to your specific history.

What treatment options are there? +

Treatment depends on your goals. Options can include hormonal birth control to regulate cycles and manage acne, metformin or other insulin-sensitizing medications, spironolactone for excess hair growth or acne, and lifestyle and nutrition guidance. We'll go over what makes sense for you specifically.

Can you help me get pregnant if I have PCOS? +

We can help optimize your overall metabolic and hormonal health, which often supports more regular ovulation. For active fertility treatment like ovulation induction, we'll coordinate a referral to a reproductive specialist alongside your care here.

Is PCOS connected to my acne? +

Often, yes -- hormonal acne along the jawline and chin is a common PCOS symptom driven by excess androgens. If acne is your main concern, we can also treat it directly -- see our Acne Management page for more on that approach.

Do I need to join Happy Health Clinic (DPC) for this? +

No -- you can book a one-off consultation and lab review as a cash-pay visit. That said, PCOS is usually managed over months or years, and our DPC membership (at-cost labs, direct provider access) tends to be the more affordable path for patients who know they'll need ongoing care.
