questions about hormone levels

Hello. I wrote a few weeks back about my wacky cycles since going off the pill in July-- 48 days, 56 days, 25 days--only very, very light spotting (brown), with a little bit of red. My doctor suggested that I probably have PCOS, so I went to get the blood tests. According to the doctor, the LH:FSH ratio is high, suggesting possible PCOS, but the prolactin and testosterone levels do not suggest PCOS. I would like to get pregnant, so now he has me taking my temperature to see if I'm ovulating. Could there be any other reasons for these hormone levels? Period: 11/1; Blood taken 11/16; spotting started again 11/23 w/red 11/25. FSH: 3.3; LH: 26.3; Prolactin: 8.9; Total Testosterone: 33; Free Testosterone: 2.8 pg/ml, .9%. Thanks for your help/advice.
