Can you have high corisol levels with PCOS?  My serum cortisol as well as 24 hour urine came back elevated.

Hi do you have any other symptoms?

by sue3708, Apr 23, 2008 08:13PM
periods are lighter...but still regular.  A little facial hair, but not much.  My bloodwork has pretty much ruled out PCOS at this time....but has also ruled out cushings.  Also had a brain and abdominal MRI nothing onthe pituitary or adrenals.
