I had the same problem. I had not been getting my periods. Then they diagnosed me with PCOS which is polycystic ovarian disease. I have little cysts on my ovaries which can not be removed. i also had fibroids on my ovaries. You might want to ask your doctor for a script to have a pelvic sonogram done of your ovaries if you have not allready. I am going through my first part of infertility. I am on my first ivf procedure and am just awaiting to take a pregnancy test now. I have been through all of it. if you have any more questions i might be able to answer i will do my best to keep in touch.

I would definitely ask your doctor to do an infertility blood panel. This consists of measuring the amounts of certain hormones, such as lh, fsh, tsh, prolactin, to name a few, found in your blood. This is usually done on day 3 of your cycle. It can pinpoint if there is a problem and what needs to be done about it. This would definitely need to be your first step.
