She also have hypo thyroid issue also for which we contacted a dietician and also an endochronologist. She is using thyronorm 25mcg as on today and her t3,tsh,t4 levels are in range. she takes the blood test every 3months. I also observed that she has a bit hair on her lips. So i was suspsecting that it can be PCOS.she got ultra sound done for her utrus and it is perfectly ok. She also had done breast scan and the size of the fibroadenmoa are unchanged and tiny. So now that she want to take the blood test this week. My questions are

Brief Answer:
Semen analysis required
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns about infertility.
You need to get semen analysis done which is first step in the direction of your testing.
If your wife has no PCOS on ultrasound scan then there is no need to worry about blood tests. If you still wish get FBS, FSH, LH, AMH, Prolactin levels tested.
Let me know the test reports so that I can advice further.
