Tell the GP in our network
They confirm whether to test now and which test fits, because both change hormone levels
What it can help explain.
A GP diagnoses PCOS from your symptoms, cycle history and often an ultrasound. This test gives part of that picture: the hormone and insulin markers behind it.
Androgens
Checks free and bioavailable testosterone, the free androgen index and DHEA-S, which can be raised in people with acne or extra hair growth.
Cycle and ovulation
Measures LH, FSH and progesterone at two points in your cycle, which can help show whether you're ovulating.
Insulin and weight
Adds fasting insulin and SHBG. Insulin and blood sugar changes are common with PCOS and can make weight harder to manage.
Other causes
Includes prolactin and thyroid markers, which GPs check because they can also cause irregular periods.

A short telehealth call with a GP in our network, included. They issue your Baseline and PCOS Blood Test referrals together.

Results arrive in the app, next to your Baseline. After your Baseline, a 30-minute session with your dietitian builds your plan.
When to test.

Ideally day 3. Day 1 is the first day of bleeding.
Second test
Day 21
Or 7 days before your period is due, if your cycle is irregular.
The pill
Tell the GP first
The pill changes androgen and SHBG results, so the GP in our network confirms whether to test now.

Questions people ask us.
Can I just buy the test on its own?
No, it's for Vively members. PCOS affects more than hormones, so results make more sense next to the rest of your health. Your membership ($99 a month) includes the Baseline Health Check, a blood test covering 70+ markers, plus a GP consult and a 30-minute dietitian consult after your Baseline. That way your results are read together and turned into one personalised plan. You can cancel any time.
Why not just ask my GP?
Your GP tests what's needed to look into a symptom or manage a condition. Vively adds a 70+ marker Baseline Health Check, results read against optimal ranges, and a dietitian to help you act on them. We arrange the GP referral for you, so you don't need a separate appointment.
What if I'm already a member?
Add the PCOS Blood Test in the Vively app. You won't pay for the membership again.
Do I need to see my own GP first?
No. You still need a referral, but we arrange it. A GP in our network issues your PCOS Blood Test referral together with your Baseline referral after a short telehealth consult, at no extra cost. The GP also confirms which markers are clinically right for you.
Is this test covered by Medicare?
No. Add-on tests aren't covered by Medicare. Your Baseline Health Check is included in your membership.
When should I take each test?
Take the first on day 2 to 5 of your cycle, ideally day 3, and the second on day 21. If your cycle is irregular, take the second 7 days before your next period is due. If your periods are very irregular or have stopped, the GP in our network can help with timing. Go in the morning before eating, as fasting insulin is part of the test.
Does this test diagnose PCOS?
No. A GP diagnoses PCOS using your symptoms, cycle history, blood tests and often an ultrasound, after ruling out other causes. This test gives the blood test part of that picture, and your GP decides what it means for you.
Is this the same as the Female Hormone Health Test?
Yes. It has the same markers and the same price. This page explains the test for people looking into PCOS, with a focus on androgens, LH and FSH, SHBG, the free androgen index and fasting insulin.
Can I test if I'm on the pill?
Yes, but tell the GP in our network first. The pill lowers androgens and raises SHBG, which can make a PCOS pattern harder to see. The GP advises whether to test now. Don't stop the pill without speaking to your doctor.
