Polycystic ovaries and miscarriage

Hi, I have been told that I have polycystic ovaries (although I do not have PCOS). I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2008 (age 36) and then the tube was removed, I went on to have 2 missed miscarriages (natural conception) at approx 6 weeks (aged 36 & 38). Following the first miscarriage I had 4 lots of IVF (not at MFS), 1 fresh cycle (abandoned due to moderate OHSS), 1 stimulated frozen, 1 natural frozen and another fresh, non resulted in a pregnancy. No one has ever mentioned the link between polycystic ovaries and miscarriage to me. Do you think there may be a link in my case? If so, is there a 'best way' forward? I'm 39yrs old and considering egg donation.

Persistant Adult Acne cleared when on Oestrogen (but no PCOS?)

I have been plagued by Acne all my adult life, physically have the appearance of someone with PCOS but all tests have ruled it out (and no PCO reactions during IVF). I also have long cycles and do not always ovulate. During a recent frozen egg transfer cycle I was put on HRT and my acne cleared up! I am presuming that this may indicate that I have low/poor oestrogen levels. Could low oestrogen levels cause acne/excessive hair growth and no ovulation? If so, is there a simple way of boosting oestrogen?
