Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of deficiency of FSH (follicular stimulating hormone) is more in your case.
This hormone is essential for follicular growth, maturity and ovum production.
So better to consult gynecologist and get done FSH levels.
This will tell you about severity of the deficiency.
You may need injections if deficiency is severe.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
