Perimenopause and PCOS

[Annieza]

Hi everyone

Not sure if i can ask this here, but although i have thyroid antibodies, i know thyroid issues can affect sex hormones too

My hair fall as become worse, I'm struggling to lose weight and this week my period only lasted 2 days with the lightest flow I've ever had to the point where i hardly even noticed.

I'm wondering if this is a sign of low oestrogen and was wondering, which sex hormones I need to get tested and when in my cycle is it best to test hormones?

I have a GP appointment on Wednesday and i dont want her to fob me off, if she does request some bloods, I want to know which ones she should be asking for and when in my cycle i should get tested so i have the most accurate results

Thanks!
