Hi,
I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS (although I’m not 100% convinced with this).
I have been trying to conceive for 2 years. I have very irregular periods. My cycle can be up to 60 days but I bleed for anything between 10 and 22 days. About 4/5 days of bleeding can be so heavy that I can’t leave the house, I tend to bleed heavily and then suddenly lose a large amount of blood (no amount of protection can stop it).. this happens regularly during my 4/5 heavy days. It is taking over my life completely.
Between the age of 21 and 28 I have had 4 pregnancies, 2 of which I miscarried. 3 were unplanned (1 of which happened because I missed the pill on one occasion) and 1 was planned, I came off of the pill at the beginning of Dec 2013 and was pregnant within the month. In Sept 2016 (just after my daughter 2nd birthday) we decided to try for baby number 3. Because I have fallen pregnant so quickly and easily in the past we just assumed it would happen again. I didn’t go back on the pill after having DD1 (2012). The first month of trying was the first month my period was a little off. This then got progressively worse. I was diagnosed with Polyps, I had 1 removed. This didn’t fix my periods.
I was later diagnosed with PCOS, this was all
On the basis of my irregular periods. I don’t have any other symptoms.
I was started on Metformin at the beginning of this year, this has helped with the periods although they are still not regular or ‘normal’. I have also just started taking Myo insotil on the advice of someone with PCOS.
My body is showing signs of ovulation (CM) but I’ve since read that this means nothing and having CM can be my body preparing for ovulation but it doesn’t actually happen.
I am going completely out of my mind, it feels all consuming! We want to have another child more than anything in the world, I don’t see my life going any other way!!
Any advice/similar stories would be hugely appreciated. It’s hard for others to understand, especially because I have 2 children already.
Thanks
