Hi Erin,
It is difficult to judge it without the actual values, but PCOS is a syndrome and the original description (1930s) had nothing about hormones. Later there wewre also some hormonal signs described: elevated testosterone, LH, DHEAS etc. Progesterone is low because you do not ovulate. Nolw whether you have PCOS or not depends on the ultrasound picture of your ovaries. For your info
