Insulin tests

Hi! I just came across this site, and I am so VERY thankful to all of your posts and personal stories!

Here's the situation...not sure if I have PCOS but have a lot of the symptons (acne, high chol/bp, very irregular cycles, weight issues, etc). My doctors have blown it off and put me on the pill which I didn't think much of, but now I'm 28 years old and would like to try and conceive in the next year or two.

I have had a glucose (2 hour) test which came back ok, and they also took blood to test my hormones. My hormones came back within "normal" ranges. I have not had any kind of insulin test to my knowledge.

1) Does anyone know if you can have hormones within normal ranges and still have PCOS? I don't know if I should push for an insulin test?

2) Are there any other "syndromes" with similar symptons as PCOS?

3) I definitely need to find a new doctor! Has anyone run across any kind of lists of the "best" reproductive endocrinologists / specialists?

Thanks again for all your personal stories and help!
