Is it possible to have PCOS without elevated insulin and testosterone levels?

I was tested for PCOS when I was 17 years old, the doctor ruled it out because my testosterone and insulin levels were normal. I was tested again last week and again my current Dr diagnosed me with PCOS even though my insulin and Testosterone levels were normal. Could there be something else wrong with me?

Hi there,
Has your doctor taken any other blood tests? Testosterone and insulin levels can show as normal on a medical test in someone with PCOS. Your tests were done when you were very young. Have they been taken more recently? Have they looked at your LH or FSH? Have they performed a pelvic ultrasound? Have they taken a family history?
What are your symptoms? I don’t want to scare you, but sometimes some symptoms that can happen in PCOS can happen in other conditions too.
I hope this helps.
Goodluck.
PCOS can occur at any time….and usually means you get irregular periods and potentially have some ovarian cysts…you can ask a reproductive endocrinologist online for free and find others who might be going through similar situations, try fertilityties.com
good luck!!
