Have you taken metformin? There are lots of options for you for ttc. When you back at the consultant? It was different for me due to already having ds.

Yea I'm sure it will eventually... Had 6 roofs of clomid already so not sure what they will do next if this doesn't work

I have pcos too. Had ds at 19 without any problems started ttc #2 so stopped the pill nothing happened. Af didn't come for months gp started doing tests and found I had pcos. Took 6 rounds of clomid only ov'd once. Got sent for lap & dye, blead because of it. Went back to gynecologist who said they couldn't help me further as I had ds. I asked for metformin to help with the ovulation and took them. Then af arrived about a month to 6 weeks later without having to take progesteron. Next af kind of spotted over the space of 3 weeks doc thought I had a burst cyst as I was in lots of pain but I was actually pregnant. Dd just turned 1. It will happen just harder for us.

Sorry I haven't replied quicker. I bled after the lap n dye then I had another af then bfp. But we just SWI after the first bleed stopped. Glad dh is looking after you. Are you ttc #1?

I got pg 6 weeks after a lap and dye while taking metformin, clomid didn't work for me either. Get to it when the soreness fades.

Sorry to hear that. May want to hold of on the shagging then I suppose! It's just that I have heard of people getting pregnant unexpectedly after this procedure.

Yea I've got an appointment with the fertility clinic in 4 weeks so hopefully something will happen before then to get things going... Hope it has been worth it as it is mega sore

Start shagging is my suggestion (or as soon as you're allowed). I have heard of quite a few people who have had problems conceiving that have got pregnant immediately following a lap & dye! May or may not work but worth a try. Something to do with stimulating your ovaries or unblocking something, I'm not quite sure.

Your consultant should've given you a bit more idea about what happens next though. Maybe you should speak to them, or your GP?
