    Get tests done. It could be PCOD because there are many different symptoms of PCOD. It could also be hormonal imbalance. Visit a doctor and she'll guide you.

    Good luck!

    HI
    IT could be due to higher amount of testosterone in ur body.

    Well, as far as I know, the two are unrelated, although they often occur at the same time. However, I have a cousin who has hormonal imbalance and not PCOD. She has hair growth on he body and face and is having trouble conceiving too. There are also cases where people have PCOD, but no hormonal imbalance. So if you have hormonal imbalance, it is not necessary that you have PCOD.

    But, hormonal imbalance is just as serious as PCOD and it affects fertility and ability to conceive. Only tests will reveal exactly what you have and how it should be treated. So meet a doctor and get tests done ASAP.

    It's different in different cities. In Delhi, they cost about Rs. 6000-7000. They do a lot of blood tests and ultrasound and all that. It's much cheaper in some of the other cities. Depends on your location.
