View allI'm dealing with PCOS and noticed I have a dominant follicle measuring 1915mm in my right ovary on the 12th day of my cycle. The sizes of my ovaries are 11cc on the right and 9cc on the left. I'm really eager to know if I can get pregnant with this dominant follicle. I'm currently taking letrozole, folvite, and duphaston. Could you give me some insight on this?
Yes, there is a possibility of getting pregnant with the dominant follicle present. The medications you are taking are helpful in promoting ovulation and supporting a healthy pregnancy.

I'm dealing with gynecomastia and a small penis size since I was a kid. Its really tough because I can't wear t-shirts or go shirtless at the beach or pool without feeling super embarrassed, and its really knocked my confidence down. Could this be because of a hormonal imbalance? What steps should I take for treatment? I'm really hoping for a complete transformation once I start treatment.
That could be inborn error or metabolic error,Visit physician for evaluation and appropriate management.

I recently did a sugar test and my fasting level was 92, not sure if that's okay. After eating, it was 150. I have a family history of sugar problems, so should I be concerned about these numbers and think about seeing a doctor?
Based on your results, a fasting sugar of 92 mgdL is within the normal range, but a post-meal reading of 150 mgdL could indicate prediabetes or early signs of insulin resistance. Given your family history of diabetes, I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and to discuss preventive measures.
