Yes Dianne, I agree, it is a common cause of long annovulatory or delayed ovulation cycles...
here is a link to tests performed to look into it... PCOS

testosterone is one of the major clues as to whether or not there is a problem with pcos

But with no mention of cysts on the ovaries from the u/s report, i felt it may not be the problem.
Of course, i am not a doctor, so i really have no idea.
Checking LH levels to see if the lutenizing hormone is being produced to signal the rupture of the egg might be good too. as well as the estradiol on day 3.

But what it boils down to is this:
What do the answers mean to you? If you find out that it may take alot of work to get you ovulating, does that mean you dont want to get the reversal? If you STILL want to get the reversal regardless, then those results shouldnt affect your desire to get it done. Just means that it may take a bit more work,.Many women here have gone on clomid after tr to encourage ovulation,and then often a hcg trigger to force the egg to release. The meds arent as expensive in Canada as in the states.

Please keep in mind though, that even in a perfectly working menstrual cycle, the success rate of pregnancy after a tubal reversal is anywhere from 40-80% depnding on age (under 30 is the highest success rate, under 35 is about 79%, over 40 is about 41% and these numbers vary greatly from hospital to hospital).... there are the additional factors of hormonal imbalance and tube lengths etc....
so, Im not trying to be negative, but you basically need to decide whether or not this is something that emotionally you are ready to take on.

TTC with a perfect cycle is hard enough, but ttc with surgically repaired tubes that are missing some of the important hairs to help "swoosh" the egg along, and with abnormal cycles may take alot of patience and OMG, it can be SO heartbreaking.
Cycles arent just fixed by a single dose of meds.. it can be one med for the beginning of a cycle, and one med in the middle and one at the end. Every cycle. Of course, if it ends up being pcos , then your dr can find the right combination of things that will help, usually metformin for insulin included which can do lots to help.... but it can be a long process to sort out the reasons for anovulatory cycle. There is no quick fix.

I do suggest, even if you havent got a thermometor yet (they are quite cheap, i bought mine up on scott rd and 96th at the drug store), to read about the menstrual cycle, take the online fertilityfriend course... you dont need to have a thermometor to do the course... learning as much about your body as you can, and taking charge of your fertility will make the ttc process less frustrating.
