Free androgen index blood test results - what were your results and what is your diagnosis?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Since January I have had pain on the left side around my ovary, especially around ovulation and bleeding around ovulation and after intercourse. I have also has a lot of new thick black hair growth on my chin, top lip, breasts and belly. My periods have never been very regular, but I conceived easily when planning my pregnancies.

I'm waiting for an ultrasound scan, just got my results of the free androgen index blood test - i have seen them online. not spoken to GP yet.

Serum testosterone level - 1.7 - normal

serum sex hormone binding globulin - 17.5 - low

Free androgen index 9.7% - high

They are not far out of the normal ranges. If you have had this test what was your results and what is your diagnosis?

thanks
