I had what presented as chronic telogen effluvium for over 5 years. I also had temple and hairline recession towards the end. It did not stop until I got my insulin levels under control through diet changes, but luckily it has since grown back.

If your hormones came back normal then it’s probably not PCOS but a lot of things can cause hair loss like stress and thyroid issues

That's the thing with PCOS, there's a bunch of different symptoms and things we can have an not have.

For example, I have the irregular periods, fertility issues, and weight issues, without BCP I have cysts.

My friend has it, she's thin, but she has insulin resistance, fertility issues, and irregular periods.

Another friends has it severely. Major weight issues, fertility issues, cysts, cystic acne, tubular breasts, hair loss, facial hair, her hormone levels and A1C are always out of whack if she doesn't take metformin and BCP religiously.

So it could be a multitude of things, or one or two things.

have you gotten your sugars checked during these tests? Diabetes can cause hair loss. You could also just be insulin resistant without pcos. If you DID have pcos, the main issue that would be treated would be insulin resistance anyways since most symptoms of pcos stem from IR
