High LH
Hai
I have been diagonised with pcos for quite sometime.
My periods are not regular. Now I have been in clomid for 2 cycles and no result.
My LH level in day 2 was nearly 17. So my doctor is asking us to go to a fertility specialist?
What shld I do now? Can I try clomid for few more cycles?
What will be the kind of treatment they wld do in a fertility clinic for my case?

Thanks for the reply. What kind of treatment option do the fertility clinic provide for women with such elevated LH level to conceive?

You should go to a fertility specialist as your doctor suggests.
Here is some general PCOS information from my website:
www.integrativefertilitymd.com
PCOS can affect 5% of all women and common symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, increased growth of hair on the body, loss of hair on the head, acne, and weight gain. Based on the 2003 ESHRE/ASRM sponsored Consensus Workshop Group, PCOS is diagnosed in women who meet two of the three following criteria: ovarian dysfunction (not ovulating regularly), hyperandrogenism (increased male type hormones on lab testing or clinically increased hair growth), or polycystic ovaries on ultrasound (ovaries which show multiple small cysts on ultrasound). PCOS is a common cause of infertility and puts women at an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. There is also increased risk of insulin resistance, hypertension, and abnormalities of cholesterol and triglycerides in women with PCOS. Due to these risks, we advise our patients with PCOS to have the complete metabolic assessment with complete lipid panel testing and a two hour glucose tolerance test.
