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

My report says I have a heterogeneous, predominantly hypoechoic mass of 5x 62 mm in the posterior wall. I want to get pregnant. Please advise what I should do?

Today was my day 6. I had a baseline follicular study. The report mentions that the right ovary has 18 follicles and the left ovary has 15 follicles. The largest follicle in the right ovary is 15 mm. It also mentions a nabothian cyst at the cervix. What does this mean. Is it PCOD or PCOS or is my report normal?

I am sharing my miscarriage report. This is my first conception in 3 years, but unfortunately, I lost the pregnancy. I have been diagnosed with bilateral PCOS, but this report shows only a cyst on my left ovary, while the right ovary appears normal. Does this mean my PCOS is cured or improved? I am feeling confused and would appreciate your clarification.
