[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have PCOS.  I also don't have facial hair, am not overweight, and have mostly regular cycles.  I'm non-IR.
With your egg retrieval results and AMH, I'd assume PCOS, too.  Have you had androgen/testosterone levels checked?  What was your AFC before starting IVF?

I was put on a VERY low dose of stims, that was then adjusted downward almost every day, and we got 25 eggs.  12 were fertilized.  7 made it to blast, and 3 were normal.[/quote]

+1. although you don't have the classic signs of PCOS, the evaluation doesn't stop there. the average individual will not yield that many eggs without PCOS. Hence most on this post are flustered as to why that wasn't even considered. agree that androgen/testosterone levels should be checked at least to r/o out PCOS completely. low Vitamin D levels as previous post indicated has also been linked to PCOS as well. I have PCOS but I wasn't diagnosed till my late 20's. My younger sister was diagnosed years before me and had a normal cycle, not overweight at all (size 0-4). only symptom she was having was getting frequent pelvic abscesses from ingrown hairs on her pubic area (TMI), however her PCP diagnosed her in like 20minutes. I think its up to you if you want to get a 2nd opinion on the PCOS piece of it or just simply go with what you currently have and waiting on the results of the PS testing. and some people are diagnosed later in life even after kids. just remember PCOS is an hormonal imbalance that can stem from a variety of factors.[/quote]
