Hi Dr. I am 30 years old and have been trying to get pregnant for 5.5 months with no successs. My doctor recently checked my hormone levels and said she is concerned that I am at the borderline levels that suggest that suggest that I may no be ovulating. I also had an ultrasound done which revealed I had one cyst on either ovary which radiologist and doctor thinks are cyst that should clear with my next period. I am worried about being infertile.
Dear patient! Checking your ovaries during a single cycle are not conclusive. Your doctor is right. You have to monitor your follicles for at least 3-4 cycles to check if you are ovulating. Similarly, the hormonal levels also depend on the time of your cycle at which they are performed. Anyhow, for a more conclusive answer, kindly send in your hormone levels. Yet, don't be discouraged at all. Wait for repeat Ultrasounds and hormone levels. You are fertile until and unless proven otherwise. Hope my answer satisfies you. Awaiting your precious feedback.
