I will also add that what I learned from my endocrinologist is that companies like Lab Corp (and now I forget the other one) are not very good for giving results for PCOS patients.
My endo uses a private company that is more precise in the results. It takes longer to get the results, but he feels more comfortable he's getting the right information from my blood work.
Depending on who your doctor is, they may or may not be aware of this and that's why maybe some things aren't showing up. If they specialize in PCOS they probably know all the tests. If it's a general practitioner/primary care, they may not know all the tests that are available to figure out if it is PCOS (see Astrophe's post for more information on that).
