Can a mother who had no symptoms of hypothyroidism during pregnancy but has 
 low milk supply be tested for hypothyroidism before six weeks post partum? 
  Would the normal fluctuations of thyroid function in the period of time 
before 6  weeks skew results and make treatment inadvisable?  Also, are there 
now any  tests for PCOS other than  high androgen and insulin levels?  Are  
these indicative of insulin resistance?   I'm trying to help a mom get  to 
the root cause of her low supply and she is now 3 weeks PP.   Thank  you in 
advance for helping me understand this.
