I am 5 ft 5 in and my wt is 110lbs. Never had a weight problem (a few pounds up and down here and there). the past I have had the 3:1 FSH:LH rto.
My most recent tests (done two times on day 3) for FSH, LH, and estradiol have been normal. My testosterone is 20 (normal). My glycohemoglobin - normal... you get the idea...
My ovaries have the standard enlarged mult small follices (very clasic look).
Does anyone have any ideas of what could be causing my PCO or have symptoms that are similar.
My endo is confident it is PCO and not concerned about the recent tests. My DX goes back to 1995 and I at the time was clomid resistant. Injectables also did not work.
I don't know exactly what my levels were from my blood test, but my dr did say to me, "Well, all of your levels are normal, so your problem must PCOS." So apparently, you can have normal hormone levels and still be a PCOSer... Just my 2 cents

I forgot to mention this--I, too am normal weight (about 108 and 5'1). My parents keep telling me that the doctor must be wrong because they have heard so much that everyone with PCOS is overweight, but my doctor insists (even though I've had no ultrasounds or IR tests, etc to prove it) that this is what I have. Very confusing.

maybe have your fasting glucose & insulin tested as well.
