Hi All,
Im am so frustrated!
Giving you a detailed story here right from the beginning.
My husband and i have been ttc since january 2017 when i came of the pill. I haven't had a regular period since 2013 and in 2015 i was put on the pill after being diagnosed with pcos which is common in my family. Scans and blood also show signs of pcos. Husbands SA is normal.
In january 2017 we decided to come off the pill and start trying. But i didn't have any period till i was given metformin in november 2017 and got my period in december 2017. It's been regular since then and i thought maybe i would be able to conceive naturally so i have been trying to track ovulation (i dont think im ovulating at all)
But then in febuary i went to my first infertillity appointment and the consultant decided that i need to loose 7kg in 8 weeks to get my bmi down from 32 to 30 (its now on 30), increase my metformin from 500mg once a day to 500mg twice a day. He also wanted me to do some bloods on cd2 and cd21 and he told me to take provera 10mg twice a day to start a period early. I took the provera for 7 days on 15th February - 22nd february and 8 days later i got lots of cramping and then period started. Its was very pinky and i used to get this type of period when i was on pill. Then exactly 8 days later i got another period without any warning but it was darker red and heavier. I always think that a darker period is a normal period and a pinky period is a medicinal period. But even with 2 periods i was told to count my cycle days from my first period of the month.
Now it's april and was so careful in tracking ovulation and doing the dance every 2 days (exhausting!) But ive started my period 2 weeks later on the day i was suppose to ovulate. I was getting cramps last night but i thought its maybe because im ovulating i honestly didnt think i would start period again.
So now that rant is over, can anyone tell me if this is normal when we take provera (i only took 7 days of provera 10mg in my life) and how am i suppose to track ovulation if i keep getting interrupted by periods!
I started off by not having any periods now im having too many?!
Ive got another infertillity appointment on april 18th im hoping he gives me some clomid to start ovulation or even hycosy to check tubes. Either way im getting very frustrated now its taking too long and i just want this process to move forward. Im ranting again.
Please advise.
