Hi ladies,
I've been TTC number 2 for 2 years now, with not even a sign of a BFP. I feel pregnant with DD very quickly and unexpectedly, as she wasnt planned at all. however during that pregnancy, I had bleeding at 11 weeks, ketones in my urine throughout the pregnancy, and developed pre-eclampsia around 36 weeks.
so lately i've been thinking...maybe I do have PCos and maybe DD was just...luck lol. before now i have written it off as a possibility as I have DD and fell pregnant so quickly.
so here are the reasons!
firstly, my cycles are incredibly irregular. the shortest one i have had is 19 days and the longest has been 69. I'm not even 100% sure I ovulate. I have taken OPKs which i have read as being positive, but anytime i have posted here, nobody has agreed that it's positive. my BBT also goes up after the suspected O, but my BBT is usually around 35.8 C pre-o and 36.15 after. so not a huge jump, and still a very low BBT
hair growth. i've always been a rather hairy woman lol. i have upper lip hair, crazy bushy eyebrows. and waxing for me is not worth it, as the hair still grows back just as fast as when i shave. i have really hairy arms. and i even have hair on my fingers and toes. (which according to DH is unusual.)
weight gain. I was actually incredibly underweight before I had DD, but I now weigh as much as I did at 9 months pregnant. and it wont go anywhere. though i also don't gain weight. i fluctuate between 143 and 154lbs depending on when i weigh myself. but im usually about 143. i'm 5ft 9 too, which leaves my BMI at a perfectly normal 21.1
thinning hair - i have this. the amount of hair that comes off my head when i brush or wash it is incredible.
so yes. does anyone have any ideas? is it possible that i do have Pcos?
oh I'm also 24 if that makes a difference!
TIA
