A few months ago, I was diagnosed with PCOD, which improved after taking medication. Since then, I have been trying to lose weight, but progress has been very slow over the past 7 months. My periods are now normal, but my gynecologist is suggesting an AMH test. I am confused about what this test will reveal. How does the AMH test help in understanding PCOD and its potential for recovery or curability?

AMH reflects ovarian reserve, PCOD severity. High in PCOD due to many small follicles. Does not confirm curability, but helps plan treatment. Slow weight loss is common in PCOD. AMH helps in fertility and PCOD management.

Hello doctors, greetings. I am a 38 year old unmarried female. I am planning to marry next year. I am 5.3 in height with a weight of 49 kg. My periods are normal with a cycle of 28 to 32 days and a flow of 4 to 5 days. I am not diabetic, nor do I have any thyroid issues or cysts. My KFT is normal. How difficult could it be for me to conceive after marriage as I am 38 years old? My mom had her menopause at the age of 42. I am really worried. Your input would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I am a 35 year old female. I experienced a pregnancy loss at 18 weeks due to anhydramnios in October 2020. I am trying to conceive but have not been successful so far. Recent tests done on cycle day 2 show: Prolactin: 26.98 ng/mL TSH: 2.1 microIU/mL AMH: 1.64 ng/mL FSH: 8.5 mIU/mL I had taken cabergoline after my pregnancy loss. Will the slightly elevated prolactin affect my chances of conceiving?
