Help me interpret my blood test levels. Should I be concerned about PCOS?
Post Body

This is an update to this post. My blood test results came back today and these are my hormone levels:

LH: 15 mIU/ml

FSH: 4.8 mIU/ml

Prolactin: 13 ng/ml

TSH: 1.75 uIU/ml

All of my levels are marked in the "normal" range, which is great, but I'm wondering if I should be concerned that my LH level is so much higher than my FSH level. It's almost exactly 3:1, which I've read can be indicative of PCOS. However, I had this blood test because I stopped having my period, so this test obviously wasn't done on day 3 of my cycle. So, should I be concerned or not?

EDIT: Reference Levels:

LH:

       Follicular Phase  1.9-12.5

       Mid-Cycle Peak    8.7-76.3

         Mid-cycle Peak         3.1-17.7

         Luteal Phase           1.5- 9.1

         Postmenopausal       23.0-116.3

    Non-pregnant        3.0-30.0

    Pregnant           10.0-209.0

    Postmenopausal      2.0-20.0
