High levels of insulin causes the ovaries to produce too much testosterone, which interferes with the development of the follicles and prevents normal ovulation.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a CD45 / Lca (Leukocyte Common Antigen) Test or Take a MATERNAL SERUM SCREENING - TRIPLE MARKER (SECOND TRIMESTER) Test
