Impatient worrier with cysty ovaries TTC

Hi all

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I wonder if anyone has any advice for me? This is my first month TTC. I am 27. When I was 22 I had a pelvic scan because of heavy periods. I was told that my ovaries were cysty but not that I therefore had PSOS. I was in no way ready for babies then so it never really bothered me. I had a Mirena coil fitted about sixth months after the scan and thought nothing of it.

Fast forward to now and about six months ago I had another pelvic scan due to recurring UTIs- with the Mirena coil still in). This time I had one cysty ovary and one normal one. I have been scheduled for a follow up next month to look at the ovary in more detail.

I had the coil out on February 8th. From February 9th I bled heavily through until 18th. We then had unprotected sex on 19th onwards although realistically because we've both been knackered from work hardly at all in the last week.

Then on Monday (4th March) I had some brown discharge and assumed that was my period. It got a bit heavier but still only a smudge on Tuesday and then tailed off to nearly nothing on Wednesday (March 6th). Today I am completely free of any discharge.

Realistically I don't think I can be pregnant because we've hardly had unprotected sex (at most maybe 10 or 11 times), I have this cysty problem and also I come from a family riddled with infertility issues. However because I have no idea what my cycles actually are this is adding to my anxiety. If we go from the bleeding on February 9th being the "first day" of my cycle then I am now on day 25 but can we count that as a proper cycle as I am sure I have been full of the coil hormones all this time?

I don't want to be a pratt and go and do a pregnancy test this early when the liklihood is I am jumping the gun but I am impatient and love to worry so I am feeling super anxious!!

Anyone been through anything similar or have any advice?

Thanks ladies!!

I'd prob do a preg test but that's just me, I have no patience! (I've seen so many BFN's, I'm near enough immune to them now hopefully that won't be the same for you!) Smile I was going to talk about your cysty ovaries - so do you have polycystic ovaries but not polycystic ovarian syndrome (where you have all the weight issues/skin probs etc)? It sounds like it? That's what I have. Maybe ask them that? I haven't had the coil but you've prob seen people talking about it on here, maybe search for what it's like coming off it? Hopefully you'll either get a BFP straight away or your cycle will calm down and even out quickly. Mine didn't but they're now trying clomid for me (ovulation drug), and it looks like I ovulated this week (and dtd lots) so fingers crossed!
