Infertility

Trying to concieve number 2

It took nearly 5 years to concieve my first child. I didn't use a fertility meds or ivf.
I know I have pcos. I was too afraid to go to doctors, as I'm disabled with multiple chronic health problems, thought they would deny me any meds to help.
I was so close to seeking help but then after a long time of trying it happened naturally.

I've late at the moment, only 7 days, but I've been late every month for 3 months, so I'm trying my best not to get my hopes up.
I also had an emergency op in January, where I had my appendix out and found a burst cyst in my ovaries. I've had one period since then, and I'm waiting for my next.
I do and don't want to take a test because seeing it negative will get me down, plus the cost of the tests is pricey and I don't have that money to test then be disappointed with a negative result.

Anyone else going through similar feelings?

How late have you been in the past three months? Any other physical changes. It took is 4 to conceive DC1 and then 1 month with DC2. I was stunned when I found out I was pregnant with DC2, I just expected it to take ages! Growing boobs convinced me to take a test...

I've got a little sickness, low abdo pain, but it could be down to any of my health conditions, so it hard to tell.

Latest I've been last few months is 3 weeks. It 8 days late now.
It's been fairly regular since I had my first baby.
But in the last 8 years, the latest I've been with no period is 8 months !

One of my friends had DC1 via IVF because it was practically impossible for them to conceive naturally (she has PCOS he has low sperm count); she discovered she was pregnant with DC when she was 4 mths pregnant when her mum made her take a test when she complained her clothes weren't fitting properly.

I think I would test - supermarkets do their own cheaper versions of tests. Tesco have a 2 pack for about £3.50. At least you'll stop wondering!
