You don't have to have actual cysts on your ovarys to have PCOS hun. PCOS greatly increased MC rate too. My bits look fine on scans most of the time but several blood tests and visuals (acne,spare tyre, tash and belly hair etc) all show PCOS.

Really hope you find out what's wrong hun and can get sorted *huggles*
 
How long u have to have symptoms for hun?
U had them all ur life or do they just appear one day?

Ill ask doc about it then. I havent got any symptoms but if they just come on all of a sudden then maybe there still time for them to?


I had a darker line this morning which i am SO thrilled about. Darkest ive ever seen (altho still not quite as dark as control line). So kinda give me hope. BD'd anyways xxxxxx



 
Can you still have PCOS and have all signs of ovulation? Like pain few days mucous (sorry TMI) and regular heavy periods?
 
Yay to a dark line sweetie!

I am the opposite of PsycoFalcon... I have no symptoms of PCOS but the Dr reckons my left ovary could be polycystic (you can have polycystic ovaries without having PCOS!)

I need to go back to have another scan - at the right time in my cycle - to confirm though.

I've been blood tested for PCOS (among many other things) and get the results on 2nd :shock: :shock:

You can have polycystic ovaries without the syndrome BUT I don't think you'd be classed as having actual PCOS without the main symptoms?

I thought that too just worried not ovulating same as Kez I think. As not having any + OPK :(
 
Carnat yer no i had those blood tests done but they were actually checking for any complications with my blood, genes, stuff like tht.....do u think theyd have been able to tell frm them about polycystic?
Or did u actually have specific PCO bloods taken??

ARGH im worrying now. Another strange thing that happened my last AF at start of this cycle. It was literally 2days long. And hardly any bleeding really?? I know as u get older ur periods do get lighter and shorter so they not guna be heavy and 7dys long like wen i was a teenager but before this AF they were medium flow and for 3/4days.
Is this a symptom?

Thing is with cycles and AFs and hormones nothing can be sure. My doc sed sometimes things just are wat they are. periods can change and cycles can do somethin out of ordinary for no reason at all. Nothin is definate.

So cud just be my body restting itself and having a break after tough few yrs i suppose.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Does PCO or Polycystic ovaries stop OV then?
And wen do symptoms appear? x
 
The recurrent m/c clinic put me down for PCOS tests along with all my other tests? (I had to have them on a specific CD though)

A scan confirms PCOS but again that has to be on a specific CD - they booked me in on the wrong day so my scan was inconclusive....

I know for a fact I don't have PCOS and I am also pretty sure I've ov'd this month....

I would def mention all the to your Dr when you go back on the 7th hun? See what he says?

xxxxxxxxxx
 
Yeah i defo will do hun thanx.
My question list for the doc is gettin immense!!! LOL.


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That's what the Dr's are there for hun!!

Have you had an internal scan before? (since the last m/c?)

xxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I had an internal scan once id MMC'd. Then had surgery. Then they did internal twice after tht cuz op went wrong. Then another internal after i finally MC'd a week after the op.

But those internals were more to look at baby. And then afterwards to check everything looked ok. They did scan my womb/ovaries...... but i duno if they were actively checkin for stuff like PCOs and if they werent wud it be obvious to see? I duno.

xxxxxx
 
You're like me hun - we've had far too many internals!!

This was my first scan specifically related to looking at "me" ..... again the recurrent m/c booked it for me. They were looking for cysts / fibroids etc... They also checked my womb lining thickness. This is the scan they said it's 50/50 my left ovary is polycystic? Stupid idiots booked me in just before Ov though the scan should have been Cd2 - CD5 !!! So I need it again :eh:

xxxxxxxxx
 
Sometimes simple errors like tht really annoy u. I know nobody is a robot, people bound to get things wrong sometimes in every profession. But wen dealing with health, its very upsettin and frustrating when an already stressful time is made worse unecessarily because simple mistakes are made.
I hope they get it right next time hun and that ur results come back clear!
It annoys me a little that different docs do diff things. Wen ive been going docs and specialist every time ive ha a MC theyve been so laid back bout it all and bit insensitive astho i just got to deal with it. 2yrs later they do a few tests........ results finally come back 5mnths later.... (after them losing the bloods and having to go back for more....and after them tellin me it wud take 3mths).
They just keep sendin me away halfheartidly it seems.
Ive had no1 say they guna check for fibroids/cysts. No1 has checked OHs spermies. Its SO frustratin and upsetting. Espesh wen i no other people who seem to have had SO much help straight away. these friends tht have had same(ish) problems are shocked they aint even tested for basic things like OH sperm.

I feel like nothin gettin done and that i dont matter. My last MC (last july) I knew i was guna lose really. But they told me i had to have a certain amount of MCs before they wud help me which after all the hurt id already been thru with 4mcs, i thawt was disgusting. Waiting for my baby to MC was the hardest few weeks. And then for them to eff up completely on the surgery afterwards too?

I just feel let down really.
xxxxxxxxx
 
Awwww I am sorry hun!

Luckily all my m/c's were natural and the Dr's have all been amazing. It's the recurrent miscarriage clinic I am not that impressed with BUT it's early days and if they find out what is causing our losses then I'll do whatever it takes!

I hope when you go back hun your Dr is able to help with the immediate issue (check that you are ovulating etc....) and I hope longer term they have a solution for you as well.

The first thing the Dr told me was even after all these tests, 70% of recurrent miscarriages remain unexplained

xxxxxxxxxx
 
thanks hun.
Hope we both get some good news soon.
