Brief Answer: It could be due to PCOS. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX Thank you for the reply. After analyzing your reports, I think you are suffering from PCOS(poly cystic ovarian syndrome), this is due to change in hormonal levels, irregularity in periods and also scan showing poly cystic pattern. Your prolactin level is normal. Considering all these reports your main problem is PCOS which is causing ANOVULATION i.e no proper ovulation occurring (no cyclical egg releasing). Your doctor might have given you progestin to get withdrawal bleeding, so that further treatment can be planned. According to me you need further evaluation of fallopian tubes. I personally feel its better to go for Diagnostic Laparoscopy (for checking fallopian tube patency) and OVARIAN DRILLING (as you are having PCOS). If that is normal then you need ovulation induction with Clomiphene citrate and IUI(intra uterine insemination). KINDLY DO NOT WORRY. YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE A MOTHER IF YOU FOLLOW THE STEPWISE FERTILITY TREATMENT. Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!

Brief Answer: laproscopy is safe.. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. Hello XXXX I can understnad your concerns, coming back to your questions: Progestin are natural progesterone tablets, they are given for withdrawal bleeding. Even if you get pregnant when you are on this drug it wont affect the growing baby. Hence I feel your doctor suggested you this medication. Diagnostic laparoscopy is my personal opinion, considering your PCOS. Bo the PCOS and checking fallopian tube patency both can be dealt simultaneously with this procedure. Diagnostic laparoscopy is not a painful procedure, it is done under general anaesthesia, most of my patients withstand this procedure without any problems. Within 5 to 7 days you can resume your normal actvities. It is almost like a day care procedure. Kindly do not get frightened, it is a safe procedure if done under expert hands. Coming back to your other questions: Approximately, How long will it take to conceive in these cases like mine? It depends, each individual is different. Some of my patients conceive within 2 to 3 cycles after the laparoscopy procedure. Is this type of treatment expensive?? No too much. In my center it costs around 15,000 indian rupees. Is there any alternate & easy method?? You can go for HSG (hystero salpingogram) where X-ray is taken to confirm fallopian tube patency and same ovulation induction with drugs. I'm taking Thyronorm daily. Shall I take Progeten 200 also? You need to continue thyronorm. I personally feel there is no need to take progeten as you ahve already got your periods. Light bleeding could be due to hypothyroidism. Kindly do not worry, and do visit your doctor on day 2 of period. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept my answer so that I receive credit. Thank you, Wish you good health. Regards, Dr Arif You can consult me again directly through my profile WWW.WWWW.WW
