Hi ladies , was wandering if anyone else is ttc with pcos and if you have any tips / success stories . I'm highly stressed as I've been ttc for 3 years now and it just seems like there's no hope . Any comments advice would be appreciated :)

I've had the scan they said I had bulky ovaries that suggested pcos and my tubes are clear , they've basically just left me dangling . They offered me no medication as they said tht I ovulated in December but that on the other 4 months of testing I did not ovulate . To be honest I think they're a joke don't think they realise how badly this can effect somebody on a day to day basis . I'm hoping that when I go back I can have a bit more knowledge about it all and question there decisions . An icsi what is that?

Have you had a scan to confirm the pcos? Id ask for that, ask why clomid hasnt been offered, the next step for me would be to see if there are any blocked tubes so you could ask about that, and I think you could potentially try icsi before ivf so maybe read into that as it might be a question to ask. They prob have answers for all of these which they can easily answer but havent bothered too!

Hi yeah they told me I had unexplained infertility, to then find out months later I have pcos they said that my last blood test showed I had ovulated and my hormone levels are all in normal levels . They've put me on the waiting list for Ivf but offered me no other treatment clomid ECt .. I'm due back on the 1st May to discuss this further as I wasn't happy with there conclusion and how I've just been left . Just wanted advice so that when I go bk for the follow up appointment I know what I'm talk of about medication options ECt ..
