Hormone imbalance

   Hi guys 

I am curious as to whether anyone on here knows anything about this, or has this problem. 

I suspect I might have a hormone imbalance and I am going to go to the doctor soon. 

Last year I went because I have a long cycle at 40 days and I had blood tests and an ultrasound. It showed I had very slightly high testosterone so they assumed PCOS, and did an ultrasound but it showed no cysts and I didnt have other symptoms so they said I didn't. And it never really went further than that as the doctor basically just said go away and try for a year (we hadn't started trying then). I didn't ask about any other hormones or what the results showed and I suspect they had their mind made up to look at it from a PCOS angle because as soon as I explained my cycle to the doc she said it was probably that it was like she didn't consider anything else.

But now 7 months into TTC and also still with the long cycle and only a random short bleed last month I cant help but think something is wrong. 

I do think my hormones are all over the show. I get PMS symptoms quite badly, sore breasts a lot even when its not the right time in my cycle, sometimes I have night sweats and I am always tired and find it hard to go to sleep a lot, highs and lows in mood a lot., stomach problems a lot. I have googled (I know bad bad bad but hey we all do it) and these seem to be classic symptoms of a hormone problem. 

So yeah I guess Im just wondering if anyone has experienced a hormone problem that wasn't PCOS and if so, what it was and what the treatment was? 

I really just want to get this sorted. 

Im going to the doctor in the school holidays in 2 weeks but any info I can get before that is helpful.
