Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1)First of all do not panic.

2) Please get USG done to rule out PCOS.
Your FSH, LH reports 5.9 and 16.7 and high testosterone levels indicate PCOS.

3) As PCOS is a lifestyle disorder, you need to have lifestyle modifications.
I will suggest to indulge in a healthy lifestyle, a healthy diet and regular exercise regime. Include more fruits, salads and vegetables in the diet. Avoid deep fried foods, bakery items and refined sugars. Also, start on Vitamin B 12, Folic acid and Omega 3 supplements. This helps to achieve healthy pregnancy and minimizes various pregnancy related risks.

4) Please seek prescription support of your treating doctor for tab Metformin , this will help reduce insulin resistance and will reduce testosterone levels.
With life style changes as discussed and medical line of treatment you can resume regular cycles and also you can get pregnant.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
