Is my testosterone level high?

Question:

Just got back from the doctor's office, got my results back for my DHEAS (normal) Glucose (normal) but my testosterone leve is 98. What is the range for female testosterone? The nurse practionaire told me that she would ask the doc if its high, so i have to wait and see. What do you guys think? I'm in my late twenties, had facial hair starting from junior high, no deep voice, have chronic vaginal problem, dont have any sex drive (not as much i should say). Please help.

Answers:
You're on the high end, but still within the normal range, which is usually 20-100. The extra testosterone would explain the facial hair, but it's usually low testosterone that causes a decrease in sex drive.

This is a good link that talks about testosterone levels in women and what's normal as well as what high and low levels mean.

it is high..not too high but your borderline.

It says on this website that most of the time if the testosterone level is above 50, it is considered elevated. Heres the link, so you can check it out if you'd like to.

SYMPTOMS OF PCOS
The symptoms of PCOS vary widely from woman to woman. In addition to polycystic ovaries, they can also include: irregular or completely absent periods, Hirsutism (excessive facial or body hair), Alopecia (male pattern hair loss), obesity, acne, skin tags (raisin-like growths on the skin), Acanthosis Nigricans (brown skin patches), exhaustion or lack of mental alertness and decreased sex drive.
Because the symptoms vary so widely and not all women display all the symptoms, doctors very often misdiagnose PCOS. This became an issue of critical concern after a study in 2000 found that women suffering from PCOS have a higher risk of coronary heart disease.

you should have less than 70
