Been off pill 6 months in that time had 2 periods. Gap between periods 50 to 67 days. Went to gp who sent me for a scan that showed increased ovarian volume and pco. Had blood tests and results due after Easter. Am annoyed and shocked that i have pco and my body doesnt seem to want to work!

I also have it. It's horrible finding out. Are you actively ttc?

There is a really good, supportive forum for PCOS here that I highly recommend.

Have you tried using ovulation kits to see if you were ovulating? Negative tests were the first sign of a problem for me. I was also slim with little body hair at diagnosis.

Lots of people with PCOS do conceive naturally. I found that a diet which helped with insulin resistance was helpful for symptoms, anti-candida diets in particular.

I wasn't lucky ttc naturally but had one first go IUI and am currently expecting 2 and 3 from IVF first try too. Smile

You can normally ask for a referral to assisted conception after 12 months. You can speed that up by asking for a referral to gynae for investigation now though, because they normally make you go through gynae before being referred on for fertility treatment anyway.

Last strong opk was December and i got a period two weeks later. Seems forever ago im back at gp Thursday for more delaying tactics lol. I had a scan three years ago that showed everything was normal so this is a shock!
