Hello
Thanks for your query.
You have been trying to conceive for 3 years now.
Firstly, consult a reputed Infertility practitioner.
Evaluate cause of your high testosterone ( mostly it should be PCOS ) - have complete hormonal profile done including Day 2 FSH and LH, SHBG , DHEAS, Fasting insulin, Glucose tolerance test, Prolactin, Thyroid hormone profile, AMH ( to check ovarian reserve - because even the ovary might be damaged in ectopic pregnancy ).
With just one patent tube, your chances of natural conception are less than normal.
Have your husband's semen analysis done.
You might require a diagnostic laparoscopy or an HSG to evaluate current status of your fallopian tubes.
Ovulation studies should be done and documented.
I think you should take recourse to IUI ( intra uterine insemination ) if natural conception has not yet occurred, but that is after your tubal patency testing.
Take care and all the best.
I find this answer helpful
