Here is some information, pasted below, that I found on the web about testosterone--typically it's called the "male hormone" but females produce it too...but it looks like you are in the normal range for testosterone levels as far as what you wrote in your post.

"Testosterone is the principal androgen, or male sex hormone, although it appears in both genders. In both men and women, testosterone is produced in the gonads, and it is derived from cholesterol."

"Testosterone levels can rise in women because of tumors that develop in the ovaries or PCOS."

I'm no doctor so I couldn't tell you if you have a hormonal problem but that would be a good question to ask your doctor when you see him/her again.
