PCOS ttc 3 years

I have pcos been trying to conceive since 2016! Been on metformin, tried clomid, lost a ton of weight so now my bmi is perfect but my periods are more out of whack than ever. Next step is laparoscopy and ovarian drilling apparently!

Literally at my wits end with it, I don’t drink I don’t smoke I’m not overweight I don’t know what else I could possibly do.

I have PCOS, didn't have a period for 3 years, got diagnosed, put on metformin, 9 weeks of blood tests to see if ovulating. All came back negative until last one about 2 months after starting metformin.
I now have a healthy 5 month old DD
Still no period since though, I stopped bleeding a week after Csection. Back on metformin now.
Good luck all

I still haven't had a period since September... cd66.. can not wait for Wednesday when I go to the doctors, although I was told in the phone my bloods were all 'normal'. There is no denying there is nothing 'normal' about this... they better book me in for a scan. I'm at my wits end. I can only describe it like I feel like my hormones are dormant. I feel nothing. When I first came off the pill my sex drive increased noticeably. I just feel fat, bloated and frumpy. Barely alive in the sexiness stakes

I had heartburn for the last few days.... and I keep getting aches and twinges but don't think it's anything :( I'm going to try clear blue digital opk next month, if AF evwr comes! Have you tried them? X

Still the same here getting negatives on cheap internet tests! Going to do a FRER tomorrow or Sunday morning, are you having any symptoms? X

Hi ladies mind if I jump in?
A little bit about me...
Iv also got PCOS, never had a "natural period" without being on some form of contraception such as pill, implant or provera.
We're trying for first baby and have been for 2.5years.
Started clomid October 2018 and worked first time but MC @5weeks, failed to respond for a further 5 cycles of clomid due to no ovulation even with dose increase so iv been moved to letrazole and currently on cycle 2.
With clomid and letrazole iv been having ultrasounds and blood work done as to track what's happening...

Just wanting to chip in with the OPK's and PCOS..
I brought IC opks which failed to show anything even on the 2 cycles I have ovulated..

Last month I used a CB digital ovulation test and it showed my high and peak days which were backed up and confirmed with my ultrasound scans.. so even though many OPK's say "not suitable for women with PCOS " it wont hurt to give them a go and it may give you some reasurance and knowledge as to what's going on in there :)
Be encouraged ladies and don't be disheartened x

I ended up having ivf after trying clomid etc. I went private to speed things up and I have an amazing ds 2.5yr. There is hope but I was strongly advised that ovulation kits aren't accurate for PCOS sufferers and when I did try them they always came up positive. I wasn't actually ovulating at all.

I've had several positive OPKs this cycle, no period and not a positive pregnancy test. OPKs are not great for PCOS so I've read. Currently CD63

Yes same here I've never even caught a positive before this month! I did read somewhere online that a opk will go positive before a HPT but then I also read the opposite 🙈

Last month when I got a positive opk it was the first positive I'd ever seen, this made me take a pregnancy test as I'd never seen a positive one before and it was the end of my cycle, however I was already late at this point and had just randomly tested. So not sure at what stage the postive opk would of come, unfortunately the pregnancy didn't last x

I tested today and got BFN, my boobs are still sore and bigger than normal. I feel like I've been in limbo for weeks so I think I'm going to suck it up and see a doctor next week.

I have PCOS and was told that ovulation tests are no good because the hormone imbalance makes them inaccurate.

I have had heartburn for a couple days too

@Emcait07 hey, yeah I've tested again Only on a IC I think I maybe saw something but literally only when I shone a light behind! So probably not!

Opks still dark! I don't know if they would pick it up before a HPT....

My boobs are slightly sore and still getting a very occasional cramping feeling.... now also getting EWCM. No idea what my body is up to...

Are you still testing OPKS? X

@emcait07 I'm the same! I've run out I've tested so much, have some cheap pregnancy tests coming tomorrow so will test then
My cramping has stopped too, which is strange as I'm due on this week or should be

Hey OP that sounds very similar to me a couple weeks ago. I also have pcos and very irregular periods . My last AF was on sept 15. I'm on metformin and clomid and took my clomid day 2-6 . I got fairly positive opks around the end of the month start of October with some ewcm and cramping on my left side . Presumed I had ovulated so we bd all those days. Tested two weeks later and nothing at all . I decided that instead of taking provera to bring on period I was gonna wait it out for a while and bot rush as dates would be very close to my wedding next year. In mean time I bough an ovusense and started using it . It was my first week using it and on the 8th and 9th of nov I had a load of cm when I removed it in the morn . Put it down to my body getting used to it . On sat morn I decided of do an opk ,not sure why but just said I'd start back. It was probably the most glaringly positive opk I ever did. Then I had a stitch in my side for four hours that afternoon and the monitor confirmed it the next day. I was shocked as I was convinced I ovulated start of october and hadn't had a period in between . So you could very well be about to ovulate .

@Emcait07 I'm not really sure now my lines seem
Darker now then when I thought I was ovulating, but they have been this dark for four days now so it can't be ovulation... plus I am due on this week.... I don't feel sick which has always been a massive sigh for me so don't think it's going to end in a positive
