See an endocrine doc: Your testosterone is very high which is causing your periods to be irregular, and you need some additional testing to find out why.  Pcos is most common in obese patients but we see it in normal weight patients too.  There are medications which can suppress t production and help you get pregnant but first you need a complete evaluation to see why your ovaries or adrenals are overproducing t.

Genetics & health: Testosterone level reflects your genetics & your health. You're born to produce a certain amount (wide range of normal). You can decrease that amount via bad health habits.
