I've never had a strong understanding of PCOS.
How can there possibly be massively increased levels of LH in a woman with PCOS if the problem is that she's anovulatory? Don't high levels of LH (luteal surge) cause ovulation? I don't think I understand at all the pathophysiology behind this condition (or why it's treatable with birth control pills). Can anyone help clarify this?
