Going in tomorrow...

Hi kiwigirrl, we had only been TTC 2 months but I was told by my docs that 'just give it a go for a couple of months, then we'll refer you' there was pretty much a very slim chance of me falling pg.

I don't mind telling you at all - I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) which in turn means (and not all people get this) I have no cycles and I'm not ovulating. I also have a prostratic glandular uterus (or something like that) which means my uterus contracts and loses its blood supply, so have to be monitored.

What I would do is go to your GP, say you have concerns. You can get sperm tests done, and then they might do tests on you, or make you wait 3 more months (the usual waiting time is 12 months unless you have pre-diagnosed conditions). From that you can start the testing process and maybe get some help to get pg. Good luck!

Goodluck emz, I also have PCOS although apart from gaining weight I dont think I was badly affected. I wasnt ovulating when it was diagnosed but as soon as I saw the Doc my periods started and were like clockwork since (go figure??)

Luckily I conceived on first attempt but I had been told like you that if I dont conceive after 3 months of trying to get help. I now use that doc as my obstrecian. So far it is all sweet.

I have another friend who was told she had PCOS and would "probably never get pregnant and if she did would not carry full term" 3 babies on and she's not looking back.

So go for it and best of luck!!!

Kye, when I was diagnosed at 15 with PCOS, my bloods were all normal (well, you know, within the normal range, although slightly elevated testosterone but nothing extreme). That's why I had to have further tests to find out if I had it or not. I guess I'm quite lucky in a roundabout way that I found out quite early on so I could get into the treatment process quickly.

You too Kye. It was quite obvious from a young age (not going through puberty) that something was wrong. I got my first AF late at 14, then not another until late 15, then nothing again so have been on the pill ever since. It was great never having periods, now it's a darn nuisance! Wish you the best with everything, let us know how you get on.

I had my scan today and had to have an internal too (ew, they left that part out!)

The lady said that from my lining and fluid that it's possible that either I ovulated and am due for a period (which means despite our best BDing efforts just for the hell of it - I'm talking at least every second day all month) I'm probably not pg. Or my body is playing yet more tricks on me. Will have to wait for the blood test results when I go back to the gyno next Friday (11th).

And apparently some of my cysts have 'joined forces' cos I have a rather large one on my right ovary compared to the little ones on my left ovary. Oh Joy!!

Anyway, will keep you all informed as to how I get on next Friday. Thanks for all of your lovely thoughts and advice ladies :)
