You are suffering from primary infertility due to PCOS. This can be treated and requires regular follow up and therapy to monitor your body's response to the medication. Your AMH or anti-muellerian hormone levels are higher, which is a sign that your body is not ovulating correctly. Hence the plan of action now will be to do induction and ovulation in next cycle and meanwhile you can start yourself with prenatal vitamins to replenish the body of folate stores for the coming pregnancy and fetus. Take tab. folvite 5mg - once daily for 3 mnths. Consult once you get your periods in the next cycle as discussed.
PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant.
PCOS also may cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it isn't treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Most women with PCOS grow many small cysts on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. The cysts are not harmful but lead to hormone imbalances.
