Grossman, D.O.: "Re: anovulatory cycles" Reply: Steve & Eryl Raymond: "Re: anovulatory cycles" I would make -hormonal tests (testosterone, LH, etc) -insulin resistant test -and a following up with ultrasounds for one cycle. The u/s will tell you if she is ovulating and check how healthy are her ovaries (any cysts?). The hormonal tests will be able to detect disorders such as the policystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Moreover, many Americans have diabetes type II which does not allow you sometimes to ovulate. Take care about the testosterone results: if she is exercicing very hard (more than 1 hour per day), tell her to do relax little. Maybe in the future she should take CC (Clomiphene Citrate) to enhance ovulation is she is TTC. But you need some tests and u/s results before you take any decission. I hope this helps.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
