Have PCOS and trying for a baby

[AviaScheltsB]

Hey this is the third time posting this because I was unsure what category to put this in, so apologies.

I've been trying for a baby with my husband for over a year. In January 2013 I found out I had Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, hence why we're struggling to conceive. My cycles were all over the place ranging from 17 to 57 days. My husband was tested and he was fine. It's just me. I was put on the highest dose of Glucophage (Metformin) in July 2013, quickly resulting on my cycles regulating ranging from 26 to 33 days which is normal. I was so happy, knowing that my PCOS symptoms were lessening.

However, my current cycle is currently at 38 days which makes my period approximately 8 days late. I'm having really bad diarrhoea, back and groin pains, headaches and exhausted all the time. I took a pregnancy test a day ago that came up negative. I haven't been more stressed than usual, so I can't think to the reason.

I'm not sure what to do next. I don't want to get my hopes up if I am actually pregnant since I've done that so many times.

Hi

Have you taken a pregnancy test to rule out if you are pregnant? Also, if you haven't already, I would go back to your GP and get a referral for the fertility clinic since you have been ttc for some time and know you have pcos.

Good luck!

Hi, yeah I took a test but it's negative. I was referred to a gynaecologist in June 2013 who put me on Metformin that has sorted out my irregulars periods. They also gave me Clomid last month but i can only start taking it on the 2nd day of my period, and my period hasn't come yet; is 8 days late...

Hey well today my period has started. Well I think it is. It would be 12 days late now. It's really light with a bit of brine clotting. Really upset now but trying not to think about it. But it really hurts emotionally...

Don't be dis heartened, you can start your clomid now

What size is your metformin dose and when in the day do you take it?

Hi Avia! Me too. I was ten days late and getting my hopes up. Fancy seeing you here.

Yeah, I was put on the lowest dose of Clomid for the last 3 cycles, and nothing has happened. But they say I need a blood test to see if I'm ovulating. If not, then I would get a higher dose, so I have to wait and see... :/
