Hi,
Thanks for the query.

You once consult gynecologist, get examined and go for:
Ultrasound
Blood investigations for thyroid profile, serum cortisol levels, prolactin levels and testosterone levels
With this workup possibly the cause for your problem can be identified and treatment can be given.
As you are having history of PCOS there is possibility of recurrence.

For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
