Ok I just got back my blood test results and I suspect that I have PCOS but my doctor says it's unlikley since I dnt have any of the "classic symptoms" anyways, my results are as follows:

FSH: 6.46 mIU/ml
LH: 7.27 mIU/ml
Estradiol: 54 pg/ml
Prolactin: 9.1 ng/ml
progesterone: 0.2 ng/ml
Testosterone: 0.84 ng/ml
T4 Total Thyroxine: 93 nmol/L
TSH: 1.1 uIu/ml

My cycles have been REALLY irregular (at best) for over a year now and me and DH are ready to start a family now. I've been to 2 doctors who have just said i'm just stressed (which I know I'm not) and my last "period" was on December 19th 2008. Can some1 help me interpret my results please?? Thanks in advance!

I am by no means a DR.. i know what my bloodwork has been... all of your numbers are suppose to be with in a range... like your progestone and prolactin are going to be different based on what time of your cycle your bloodwork is done...
your testosterone... based on what my dr told me shoud be with in the range of 14-76. When i was dianosed with pcos my testosterone was 445. Plus I was insulin resistant.

What kind of symptoms are you having that makes you believe you have PCOS other than an abnormal cycle?? have you always had an abnormal cycle or is it something new??? I am just trying to compare.. i have never had a normal cycle....
Good luck! Maybe a new doctor or Dr of internal medicine (they look at your body as a whole instead of isolating specific symptoms) may be a good fit!!

ok I haven't had any symptoms really (other than a stray hair on my chin that grows in occasionally...if that even counts). My cycles were like clockwork (every 28 days), I gained about 20lbs in the last 1 1/2 or so but I'm happy at this weight and I'm still at an acceptible weight for my height. Could that be the reason my cycles are now out of whack?

that could be a possibility.. but i would maybe see if you can get a second opinion from another DR.. good luck!!
