Hi there.
I was diagnosed with PCOS nearly 8 years ago now, and 5 of those years was spent with a Mirena Coil, and 2 with birth control (Dianette).
I suffer from hirtuism on my face, breasts and below my belly button. I do not suffer from spots, and I am not overweight. I do not know whether I am insulant resistant or not.
Without using contracteptives, I have fairly regular periods (between 28 - 32 days average) and always a similar length and heaviness. I have never used OPK's or temping before as I have not been TTC so I don't know if I am ovulating.
I always presumed that having regular periods meant I was ovulating but now I read this is not so.
After coming off Dianette on December 2nd 2013, I had a progesterone serum test done on 27th December 2013 which showed a progesterone level of under 5 - no ovulation. I have had this repeated and await the results.
Is there anyone out there who has PCOS and DOES ovulate regularly, or is there no such thing? Are there are positive stories out there as all I seem to read at the moment are negative stories of PCOS sufferers being unable to conceive naturally.
This is an ultrasound of my ovaries, to show the PCOS:

Any responses greatly received as I am very worried about this.
