Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

Meprate is a kind of progesterone, which is a hormone your body normally produces after ovulation in the second half of your menstrual cycle. Aldactone is an anti-androgen that fights against high levels of male hormones in the body. It is usually used to treat acne and excessive hair growth. Diane 35 is a kind of oral contraceptive.

So I think it is unlikely you will conceive while taking these medications, and you actually should avoid pregnancy while on Aldactone because it can cause birth defects of the urinary/genital tract.

A high LH level is probably due to PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) which has nothing to do with cysts on your ovaries, but instead is a disorder of ovulation that causes irregular periods and a high LH level. If that is your diagnosis, treatment with fertility medication is probably your best option.

I hope I was able to answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.

Best regards,

Dr. Brown
