Default Blood/ hormone test results - advice needed.

Hi Group,

My husband and I have been ttc since September '05.

My husband had a vasectomy reversal in September '05, we have had
unprotected intercourse since then. He has had a sperm count performed and
it is normal.

I am 26 years old. Medium weight, ex-smoker infrequent drinker, living in
the UK. I recently had a blood test done on day 21. My FSH was 3 and my LH
was 10.3. My prolactin was 902, all other counts were normal, progesterone
levels suggested that ovulation was normal. I have a very regular cycle of
28/29 days with no variation.

My doctor has referred me to the fertility clinic for further tests,
suspecting Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

I have questions:

Is PCOS likely if my cycle is regular? If not, what could be the cause?

At the age of 17 and the age of 20, I fell pregnant whilst taking the oral
contraceptive. These pregnancies were aborted.

The doctor at the time suggested that I could not fall pregnant whilst
taking contraceptives and accused me of failing to take the contraceptive
correctly.

Is it possible that I have a hormone imbalance that the oral contraceptive
went some way towards correcting, therefore enabling me to conceive?

Is there any other possible explanation as to my hormone levels whilst
maintaing a regular cycle?

What tests can I have performed at the local doctor's surgery that would be
useful to the fertility clinic? Are there any tests I can perform myself?

Are there any dietary or herbal supplements that I could introduce that
could help and would have no possibility of having negative effects?

What are the likely procedures I would face at the fertility clinic?

What are possible treatments?

I know, lots of questions!

Any answers, help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jane.
