This is a problem that many of us have had. I had visted several
doctors who either dismissed me or told me to lose weight. You should
try to find a Reproductive Endrocrinologist who will listen to you and
discuss the issue.
Did your doctor do a vaginal ultrasound? In addition to blood tests, an
ultrasound is usually done to see if you have any cysts on your ovaries.
