Hi
Thanks for information. Following is my reply:
1. You seem to be having polycystic ovary. That could be reason for delayed periods. Please confirm about this from your doctor while doing scan next time.
2. It is better to undergo serial ultrasound scan this cycle for monitoring ovulation.
3. Meanwhile get husband's semen analysis done which could be reason for infertility.
4. You follow strict exercise and diet regimen to lose around 10 kg at least which will regularize your periods and increase chances of pregnancy.
Let me know if you need any more clarifications.
