You may wish to see a reproductive endocrinologist ( a gyn who does
infertility and endocrinology) Sounds like you need some more tests done
and I wouldn't be surpirsed if, after a further workup, you were
diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO - more on this on
OBGYN.net).
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
