Hi Anon,

Your hormones reflect a clear case of PCOS (probably the only normal values are E2 and DHEAS). Testosterone (T) is definitely high as is LH/FSH ratio. As there is no direct way to reduce T, the usual way is to start insulin sensitizers, which reduce the production of T in the granulosa cells. They also tend to normalise ovulation without clomid. For your help

Sam
