Fellow PCOS victim here - my hair is super thin and not very full on top either, but the toppik hair fiber has saved my life. I bought it for my wedding and have been using it every single day since, and I bought a teasing comb and tease the back and sides of my hair to give it the illusion of fullness. Obviously everyone's case is different, but my mum barely has hair on her head and she uses the fibers too. It helps significantly, could be worth a try for you as well.
Ohmygosh I'm sorry I didn't see this post in time to help you with your trial but I am IN THAT BOAT and have been all my life. (This got long, sorry -- skip to bottom for pictures)
I ended up doing 2 trials before the big day, because at the first I was so disappointed in how "flat" my hair felt and was having trouble envisioning what it would look like after I'd ordered extensions, so I ordered some and then we did a REAL "dress rehearsal" trial.
So my hair is extremely fine and yet somehow also coarsely textured and wavy, and also thin enough that you can see my scalp. But my hairdresser was a freaking magician and made me look like a thick-haired goddess. I also have a small purple streak in the underlayers on one side of my head and she worked it through the updo flawlessly.
Another note -- I hate the way my head looks with volume at the crown ("bump-it" style doesn't suit my face) so she was working with a terribly conflicting set of instructions ("please give me a ton of volume but also try to keep the top relatively close to my head"). She did some teasing but minimal "bump-it" type shaping, and she used a foam bun ring AND extensions galore to build up a huge curly messy mass at the back of my head. She used about 7 tracks of 18" extensions. I topped the whole thing off with a big floppy silk flower comb and a cathedral-length veil Y'all -- I had so much shit in/on my head.
My other MAJOR advice I wish I'd discovered years ago is a product that I actually use on a daily basis for that "so thin you can see my scalp" issue (my hair's dark brown, so my white scalp stands out like a bald spot if I sleep on it wrong). THIS STUFF is magical. I sprinkle it on and then sort of tousel with my fingers and it makes my hair instantly look thicker. For my wedding hair, it helped cover any scalp that appeared as my hair shifted throughout the day, especially up by my bangs where I left a lot down.
The true test of the day was the outdoor portraits: it was CRAZY windy. But my hair made it through those, as well as the entire reception. Some of the curl fell out of my face-framing pieces by the end of the night, but that updo held strong. My husband said it was like watching me do the neverending scarf magic trick as I slowly removed all of my hair items at the end of the night.

And here's a picture of our coolest (only) dance move partly to show how well my hair held up, even upside down....and partly because I love this picture.
(edit) Adding a picture of my everyday hair -- look at my part to see how thin/fine it is. I get sunburn like all over the top of my head every summer. Sigh.

It's quite expensive but I don't plan to use it every day
I use Toppik to hide the thinning areas. Also functions as a dry shampoo, when I use it I can skip a shampoo
