I started my period in 2013. Since then, I have been experiencing irregular periods with gaps of 2 to 3 months. Recently, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). My blood report shows that my FSH level is 42.82, which my doctor says is quite high. Could you please explain more about this condition?

PCOD often causes irregular periods and high FSH or LH levels. Symptoms may include acne, hair thinning, weight gain, and fertility issues. Lifestyle changes, weight control, and hormone balancing meds can help. Do not worry many women manage PCOD successfully.

Take a FSH and LH Test Test or Take a AMH Test (Anti Mullerian Hormone) Test

Hi, I am 29 years old and currently undergoing follicular studies. Before starting the monitoring, I was prescribed Meprate. I started bleeding on the 3rd day after stopping Meprate, and the bleeding continued for around 9 days (the first 3 days were very mild). Now, on Day 18 of my cycle, I have experienced bleeding again. I was expecting ovulation around this time, but my follicular scan shows no significant change in egg size compared to Day 16, although the endometrial thickness is progressing well. Medications I am currently taking: Metformin, usually 250 mg morning and evening, for the last 5 days, 500 mg in the morning and 250 mg at night Follicle Active (folic acid supplement) B complex multivitamin I have attached my report and would appreciate it if someone could help clarify.

As per my report can I get pregnant with AMH level 0.98. Is there any particular treatment? Is IVF the only solution to conceive. Please suggest me?
