Hi, my 29 year old daughter is at the moment in Australia but coming home in 3 months. She is having problems conceiving - lots of follicles on her ovaries - BUT a blood test has revealed she IS ovulating. This same blood test however has revealed she's insulin resistant yet she is a perfectly normal weight, normal cholesterol, and exercises well daily. Unfortunately she has a really unhelpful doctor over there who has amazingly told this very worried daughter of mine she doesn't really understand "these sorts of blood tests to do with fertility". She saw another doctor who told her not to worry as he ignores a lot of blood test results and prefers to just"look at the person"!!?? But she told me something about elevated LH levels and FH ratio shold be 1:1 but hers are 4 and 10. --- (or something like that). Also something about mU/L less than 10 being "normal", 14 is mild but hers is 27 - which is IR.
My daughter is addicted to "googling" and is a born worrier. In fact she is making herself ill worrying about this condition now as she can't get a doctor to sit down with and tell her woman to woman what exactly is going on. She is obliged to work there until July and then she and her partner are coming home.
This condition does not run in the family. The only things I myself can put a question mark against are 1). many ovarian follicles and 2) extreme anxiety 24/7. :thumbdown:
Her periods are (surprisingly) every 28 days, her fallopian tubes are clear and blood tests have revealed she is ovulating.
Is there anyone on here who can shed any light on what could be causing this? She is a really lovely girl inside and out - but she's making herself ill worrying about all this with no help at all over there.
Thank you for any advice given, Sarah
