Yes.

It is possible to have cysts and PCOS, but "normal" hormone levels. This is because your hormones fluctuate so much from day to day, taking a test on any given day doesn't really prove anything.

It is possible to have PCOS and cysts and still ovulate on most cycles - or even almost every cycle - so any hormone test will come back normal.

You can have cysts on your ovaries but not have PCOS, as well.

On what basis did they diagnose your PCOS, if cysts are your only problem? Was it family history, and/or physical symptoms? Infertility?

If you haven't had a GTT (glucose tolerance test) with insulin levels done, this should be done. It can show you if you are insulin resistant - which is often the underlying cause of PCOS. I had all my hormone levels come back normal - all of my blood tests - but the GTT came back abnormal. So they diagnosed me with PCOS.
