Not all women with PCOS have cysts on their ovaries, I didn't but I have all the other symptoms! If you keep reading all the informational stuff you'll find out tons of info!
A vaginal ultrasound also may be performed to check for multiple follicle cysts in your ovaries. This test is most commonly performed by fertility specialists and is less commonly done by general obstetricians and gynecologists. A probe is inserted in the vagina and the picture is shown on a screen beside the bed. A PCOS diagnosis cannot be made entirely on the basis of the ultrasound alone since not all women with PCOS have cysts.
This may seem contradictory. Why call it polycystic ovary syndrome when not all women have cysts? It is because PCOS was identified (originally as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome) many years ago based on the presence of cysts in the first known patients. Conversely, not all women with cysts have PCOS. The presence of cystic ovaries does not always mean that you have the syndrome.
If PCOS is suspected, your physician may recommend an extensive check of your endocrine system. (source: Medem.com)

Welcome and good luck, I hope you're able to conceive!
Not having the cysts may actually help you there, as it could mean you're more likely to be ovulating properly.
