PCOS without symptoms?

I met with an RE yesterday (free seminar, he doesn't have my records) and he thought I may have PCOS although I don't exhibit the physical symptoms (excess hair, acne, overweight, etc). I did get periods from ages 13-15 and when they became irregular, my doctor put me on BC and I stayed on one form of it or another until 6 months ago (I am currently 28). Of course, my periods did not return. I am a tad underweight (5'7", 115), but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I recently quit long-distance running for this effort. Anyone hear of PCOS without the physical symptoms? This seems odd to me, but we are likely going to do a semen analysis and ultrasound next as the last 2 months of Provera & Clomid only increased by progesterone levels to 3.29. Will see an RE at Northwestern next week.
March 2011: Off Nuva, cycle back to "normal" for me: No periods since 15 years old.
June 2011:Provera&50 mg Clomid; Progesterone:0.7
July 2011:Provera&100mg Clomid; Progesterone:3.29
Met with RE:No Clomid response, begin injectables Sep
5 mg Letrozole and Ovidrel in the interim month. Cut out running (was a distance-runner), cycling, eliptical. Restricted to weight-training, walking, pilates. Brain MRI normal. Being physically over-stressed is the reason the body stopped producing prog.
Late Sep 2011: Menopur, Ovidrel,& IUI (10.10.11):BFN-Great injectable response: 2 mature, 6 near mature, many smaller; Problem: 9 cysts! Dr: IUI too uncontrolled for number of viable eggs & age. On to IVF! IVF ER 12.6: 37 mature eggs, 27 fertilized, froze all to avoid overstimulation; FET 1.22 (2 Grade 1)=BFN; FET 2.22 (3 Grade 2)=BFP! Beta 10dp3dt=291; 12dp3dt=644; HB 3.26!! 174 bpm: Vanishing twin almost completely absorbed 10wks

Re: PCOS without symptoms?
I am 27, active and average weight. I showed no symptoms but ended up being diagnosed with PCOS after being referred to a fertility specialist and having multiple blood tests and ultrasounds. My husband and I were successful in our first try at IUI with only 1 hormone injection to spark ovulation.
Best of luck to you!
