newbie to this and just need some support/advice regarding pcos and clomid please

[PixieM]

Hello lovely ladies,

first post so lets give you some background info on me!

My names Pixie, I have Pcos and husband has a few issues with his swimmers, I have 1 son from a previous relationship who's nearly 7 and we have been trying to conceive for the last 5 years, after changing gyno's 3 times I have been given 3 months of 50mg of clomid.

So how am i feeling today?

we'll i have been trying to handle this all on my own but I'm struggling, I have family and friends i can talk to but all i get from some of them is it "its not easy to conceive anyway it can take a while!" and "if its meant to be it will be"

What made me actually sign up to this today is that I don't have regular periods and because for the previous 3 months i had semi normal periods my gyno gave me clomid without anything to induce a period, I was due on the 8th of Feb and had a heavy bleed yesterday for 3 hours and since then nothing, this is regular for me but it has just got to me today and yesterday night ( doesn't help that yesterday was valentines!) to the point that i had this dream that i was pregnant and went into labour and had a little girl, its the first dream I've had like this and i woke up this morning not wanting to open my eyes because i new it wasn't real and have spent most of the day in a blur and crying for no reason, i think because i know that without clomid i won't ovulate and this dream made me realise this even more.

What would you ladies do about the period issue, i don't have an appointment to see my gyno until April 30th and don't really want to waste this treatment on something that may not be a period.

Sorry for the long and windy message would love to just have someone who understands.

I'm sorry but I don't really have any advice based on what you've said, but I didn't want to read and run. Hopefully there is someone in here who can help you. I wish you the best of luck!

Pixie, I agree that you don't want to waste the meds. I used to have very irregular periods too and I was put on bc to regulate them. So you want to be careful about what you ask for and what they give you cause you obviously don't want something that will get in the way of ttc. But first, did you ever take a hpt? If you were due on the 8th and didn't get the heavy bleed until the 14th. It's very possible that this is just an irregular period, but to be on the safe side, and not to be a negative Nancy, you should at least test to make sure you know exactly what's going on with your body. Or have your doctor check it out. With that being said, you should try to make an appt before your next round of clomid to discuss all of this with your doctor. Sometimes people become "just a patient" to doctors because they have been doing this for so long and they forget that everyone is different. I know you've switched gynos three times, but if this one isn't working find another one...or an fs. Sometimes you have to be a little pushy. Hope this all works for you.
