Test Results 3rd day of Cycle

Estradiol.......235 pmol/L FSH.......1.8 U/L LH.......1.0 U/L Progesterone.......16.6 nmol/L

Mid Cycle Results Day 15 (I guess it was day 15. Since I get my period every 2 weeks its hard to tell when my cycle really is) This test was taken 6 days after my period stopped, but since I'd had intercourse, I had been bleeding for 3 days when the test was taken.

Estradiol.......176 pmol/L FSH.......3.7 U/L LH.......6.9 U/L Progesterone.......3.2 nmol/L

I have posted the normal ranges for these hormones in SI units because I don't know how to convert them and I don't know if any of the doctors on this site are familiar with SI units. The last site I posted my test results on, the doctor asked me to convert them to conventional units and I don't know how. He would not answer my question because of the units.

Normal Ranges: Estradiol Follicular.......70-680 pmol/L Mid Cycle.......550-1950 pmol/L Luteal.......200-780 pmol/L Post Menopausal.......up to 115 pmol/L

Normal: FSH Follicular/Luteal.......<7.0 U/L Midcycle.......4.0-15.0 U/L Post Menopausal.......16.0-80.0 U/L

Normal: LH Follicular/Luteal.......<15.0 U/L Midcycle.......30.0-100.0 U/L Post Menopausal.......18.0-65.0 U/L

Normal: Progesterone Follicular.......<5.0 nmol/L Luteal.......15.0-90.0 nmol/L Post Menopausal.......<3.0 nmol/L

What on earth could be causing something like this? My doctor keeps saying PCOS PCOS but I think that's his way of saying "Well gee...I don't really know what you have"

Please help me...
