Is anyone else on their last chance?

[Sunnystormsnow]

I have pcos which has got progressively worse as I’ve aged. I have a teen dc already, I was a teen mum and didn’t think I would ever settle down or have more dc. I wasn’t aware of the pcos back then, I was slim and healthy and had regular periods. A few years later o had every symptom going and gained a lot of weight. I have been with dh for 3 years and have been very open about being desperate for at least one more dc. We have spoken about ttc around December time, mainly for maternity leave convenience as I am a teacher. Although I know it could take many months or years, if ever, to happen. We have had regular unprotected sex with an ‘if it happens that’s great’ attitude, but despite having sex on ovulation day I didn’t get pregnant. It’s lead me to worry it’s too late already. I know I’m being silly and over thinking it because we haven’t begun properly yet, but the anxiety is crippling me because of my age and the women in my family all had very early menopause. With pcos on top of that I feel doomed.
so after my essay, is there any one else ttc who is on their last hope so to speak? Would love to hear from others in my position so we can help each other through our journey x

How old are you? If you have PCOS there is no convenience it, particularly if you have irregular cycles. I'm a teacher too, but the idea I could get pregnant when I want is pretty laughable because my cycles are irregular so it is hard to hit those windows of opportunity. I'm 44 so more struggling with age / weight factors. I will get bloods done at day 2-5 next cycle privately after a MMC, but even then the hospital just put that down to age / weight saying for any conception it's a 50% chance of progression and warning about anomalies. Ironically though, with that last MMC it would have been timed perfectly for Easter break.

The only advice they gave me was to try to lose weight and I have been cutting out carbs to do this. I sort of have a 6 month window now, but my cycles are way more regular and this is what happened the last two times I went on to have successful pregnancies, so I am still feeling quite torn about it all.

Inofolic alpha (from Fertility family) was recommended by my fertility clinic for PCOS. take for 3 months before has positive impacts. Myo inositol also recommended a lot on here (think has some overlap in ingredients so not both). Loosing weight can help. GP may agree to prescribe Metformin.

I know TTC with PCOS is so so shit. X
