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

I want to conceive. My report says both ovaries are bulky in volume with a PCO pattern, and there are multiple small follicles seen with central echogenic parenchyma. The right ovary volume is 23 ml, and the left is 13 ml. Can I get pregnant or not, and is this a serious issue?

I naturally have a menstrual cycle of 45 days, and whenever there is a delay in my periods, I take Deviry, which usually helps me get my periods. However, this time, even after taking Deviry, my periods have not arrived. I am attaching my hormonal lab tests and blood report for reference to help diagnose my condition.

I want to discuss my recent USG report and blood report for PCOS syndrome. The ovary sizes are approximately 10 cc and 9 cc. Please provide consultation as this is an important decision regarding my prenuptial plans.
