Free and total testosterone, DHEA-S, LH, FSH, prolactin, SHBG, fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1c and TSH — the blood work for diagnosing PCOS and ruling out the conditions that mimic it. Polycystic ovary syndrome is diagnosed clinically — two of three findings: irregular or absent periods, signs of excess androgens, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound — but blood work is what confirms the androgen excess and excludes look-alikes. This panel measures free and total testosterone (the androgens most often raised in PCOS) with SHBG (low SHBG is typical and makes free testosterone the better number), DHEA-S (an adrenal androgen that points to an adrenal cause when it is the only one raised), LH and FSH (an LH-to-FSH ratio above 2 is common in PCOS), prolactin and TSH (a high prolactin or an abnormal thyroid cause irregular cycles and must be excluded before PCOS is diagnosed), and fasting insulin with hemoglobin A1c, because insulin resistance drives PCOS in most women and shapes treatment. Time cycle-dependent hormones for day 3 of your period if you have one; if cycles are absent or irregular, any day works and the timing note travels with your results. Fast 9–12 hours for the insulin and A1c. ## Who should order it? Women with irregular or absent periods, acne or excess hair growth, difficulty conceiving, unexplained weight gain or scalp hair thinning, or a family history of PCOS or type 2 diabetes who want a complete evaluation before or alongside a clinician visit. ## Tests included | Test | Biomarkers | Standalone price | CPT | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Testosterone, Free & Total](https://www.test-well.com/tests/testosterone-free-and-total) | 2 (Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone) | $54.99 | 84402, 84403 | | [DHEA-Sulfate](https://www.test-well.com/tests/dhea-sulfate) | 1 (DHEA-Sulfate) | $32.99 | 82627 | | [LH (Luteinizing Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/luteinizing-hormone) | 1 (LH) | $36.99 | 83002 | | [FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/fsh) | 1 (FSH) | $29.99 | 83001 | | [Prolactin](https://www.test-well.com/tests/prolactin) | 1 (Prolactin) | $39.99 | 84146 | | [SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/shbg-sex-hormone-binding-globulin) | 1 (SHBG) | $34.99 | 84270 | | [Insulin, Fasting](https://www.test-well.com/tests/insulin-fasting) | 1 (Insulin) | $22.99 | 83525 | | [Hemoglobin A1c](https://www.test-well.com/tests/hemoglobin-a1c) | 1 (Hemoglobin A1c) | $21.99 | 83036 | | [TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/tsh) | 1 (TSH) | $26.99 | 84443 | ## Price by lab | Lab | Panel price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $240.99 | $246.99 | Choose at checkout | | Labcorp | $240.99 | $246.99 | Choose at checkout | | BioReference (NY & NJ) | $240.99 | $246.99 | New York and New Jersey orders route here automatically | ## How much does a PCOS Panel cost? A PCOS Panel costs $240.99 at TestWell — $246.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible. | Where you order | Price | One test, all-in | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TestWell (drawn at Quest or Labcorp) | $240.99 | $246.99 | Includes the one $6 lab processing fee, charged once per order | ## How do you prepare? Fast 9–12 hours (water is fine) and draw in the morning. If you have periods, day 3 of your cycle is the standard timing for LH, FSH and estradiol-axis hormones; if cycles are irregular or absent, any day is fine. Hormonal contraception suppresses several of these values — tell your clinician. ## Common questions about the PCOS Panel ### What blood tests are done for PCOS? Androgens first — total and free testosterone, with SHBG and DHEA-S — because elevated androgens are one of the three diagnostic criteria. Then the tests that rule out conditions that mimic PCOS: TSH for thyroid disease, prolactin for a pituitary cause, and often 17-hydroxyprogesterone for non-classic adrenal hyperplasia (ordered separately when DHEA-S is high). LH and FSH support the picture, and fasting insulin with A1c assess the insulin resistance that drives most cases. This panel covers all but the 17-OHP. ### What hormone levels indicate PCOS? There is no single cutoff. A total testosterone in the upper range or above (commonly over about 45–60 ng/dL), a raised free testosterone, a low SHBG, an LH-to-FSH ratio above 2, and a raised DHEA-S in about a quarter of women are the typical pattern, but many women with PCOS have normal androgens on a single draw. That is why the diagnosis rests on symptoms and ultrasound together with the blood work, and why the results should be read by a clinician. ## How to order 1.
