A member asked:

How does having higher than normal lh in your system at all times affect ovulation? im irregular but still ovulate.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PCOS: is most likely the reason. Not all features of PCOS are present in every patient with PCOS. Consider asking for further testing such as glucose insulin ratios, on a 3 Hr glucose tolerance test, looking of insulin resistance.
