Also check your BMI and body fat
1How regular are your periods?
2Do you have extra hair on the face, chin, chest or stomach?
3Do you get acne that continued after your teenage years?
4Is your scalp hair thinning, especially at the front or top?
5Do you gain weight easily, especially around the belly, and find it hard to lose?
6Do you have dark, velvety skin patches on the neck, underarms or groin?
7Do you often get sugar cravings or feel very tired after meals?
8Does your mother or sister have PCOS, or does diabetes run in your family?
9Has a doctor already diagnosed you with PCOS or PCOD?

This is a screening check, not a diagnosis. Only a doctor can diagnose PCOS, using your cycle history, blood tests and sometimes an ultrasound.
