When estrogen deficiency occurs in the menopause LH levels increase. Later the FSH is raised and remains high for the rest of life.

Take a Urine Glucose(Fasting) Test or Take a CD2 (Pan T Cell Marker) Test

Hello, we have been trying to conceive for the past 9 to 10 months but have not been successful. My wife has PCOS but is under treatment and all her parameters including blood tests and ovulation are now normal. The doctor advised me to get a semen analysis done. I am attaching my report and would like to know if it is normal or not. Please also let me know if there is anything else I should take care of. My wife is currently taking Clomid, Duphaston, Lineator, Maxofert, and Oosure throughout her cycle. Thank you.
