@MissC07 see this really gives me hope, did you do anything different to get your body kickstarted again? At this point I honestly feel like I’ll never ovulate again.
@mrsmacmc sorry to hear about your missing period, so frustrating. I’ve also read that covid jab can mess things up, hopefully not for long 🤞
@TheDaydreamBelievers oh you are joking, that is so so rubbish, I bet it feels like an eternity away. Oh how shit and rubbish :( hope your DH is okay.
I had an internal scan today to check the start of my ovaries, I’ve had one before when I got my diagnosis but the GP wanted an update. Not really sure what the results are to be honest. The lady was lovely but she said my ovaries have some of the features of PCOS but not others. I already have my diagnosis of PCOS so that’s not really up for question, but I’m not sure how they’re not typical of pcos, from what she said. She said I basically have no dominant follicule at all and lots of immature follicles, small cysts so to speak. But is that not what pcos is? Lots of underdeveloped follicules that the body fails to release? The only thing I thought she might mean was that I’ve not got any large cysts, maybe?
Bit disheartened to hear that there’s not even an attempt to grow an egg yet. I think in my mind I thought th metformin might work really quickly and get things moving - I’d read about people ovulating within days of taking it but evidently that won’t be me. She showed me them all lined up ready to go but said they just need a kickstart. I wondered if that was her implying I’m basically going to need drugs to ovulate but possibly reading too much into that.
On the plus side she said my womb and lining look healthy and there’s lots of eggs there, they’re just lazy as hell and not going anywhere.
The thing is I quite want to talk the results through with someone but I’m not sure who to ask. It was the GP that asked for the scan but I’ve since been referred to and seen the gynae, who no doubt would know more about what the scan means but didn’t actually ask for it and has waves me off until April. Not sure if the GP is worth trying first or asking what I should do?
On the plus side, I have been feeling fine on the 500mg of metformin the past few days so I’ve increased to 1000 today, pray for me! Expecting the stomach upset again but at least it seems like my body does get used to it.
One thing I’m not sure aboit, which I think weirdly might be a positive, is that I’m getting my first really low lh readings in ages. I know that high lh levels can be a symptom of pcos and I’m wondering if me finally getting some low readings is a sign that some sort of cycle is kicking in, with normal low levels for most of the month? I’m totally clutching at straws? I’ve attached the pics, the two on their own are the most recent. The other ones show I seemed to have fairly high levels and I didn’t ovulate after those ‘peaks’.
Sorry for the essay!!
