No ovulation, no af, no nothing!!

[Gempink77]

Hi ladies just wondered if there is anyone else out there just feeling like its never going to happen!! I dont ovulate at all due to pcos so I dont even get the chance each month to wait and see if its happened after ovulation I am just at standstill. I have taken provera twice now over a 2 month gap and nothing. I am seeing a private fertility specialist who said I need af to come so that she can do blood tests but its not arrived yet so waiting to hear back from her to see what to do next.
I would just love to at least ovulate or have a period so that I can have something to hold onto each month and to think maybe this is my month but without ovulating I know this is not going to happen and as I said I just feel like I am in limbo land. Just wondered if anyone else in this situation. xx

Hi Gem I know how you feel I came off the pill last October and never had a period until May and at first I thought it was because I had been on the pill so long but then I was diagnosed with PCOS in August.

Soon after being diagnosed I began to follow the Jason Vale soups, smoothies and salads diet for a couple of weeks. Since then I have cut out fizzy juice and general junk. I dont smoke and I dont drink anyway. Then 2 weeks ago I got a period. I am not sure whether or not its a coincidence or whether the diet helped as I had read about women having periods after following the detox. Prior to this period my progesterone level was less than 3 which the GP said means I didnt ovulate.

I am not sure if I ovulated with this recent cycle but I have since bought some ovulation tests to start using. I have also started Agnus Castus capsules (been on them about 2 weeks) they are meant to help shorten long cycles so fingers crossed. Not noticed any changes yet really but time will tell. I know its frustrating and the longer you go without a period the worse you feel physically and emotionally. Have they thought about starting you on Metformin or Clomid to help with cycles and ovulation? Keep your chin up hun and I hope they manage to get you ovulating soon xx

Thank you I had not heard of that diet but I am willing to give anything a go so think I will have a look into it. I had a progesterone test too and it was 1.7 so same as u I hadn't ovulated. I have tried metformin and was on it for 3 months but I went for blood tests and the results came back saying that there was a problem with my liver (the enzymes or something were too high) they said this was a result of the metformin and I had to stop taking it and now my liver is back to normal so it must have been that. I tried agnus castus at the begining of this year and although it did feel like something was going on (kept getting a mild period pain cramp) nothing ever really happened so I stopped after a few months on that too. I am taking maca at the moment and seeing a herbalist lady who has given me some things to take so hoping all that will work too. I would just love to at least ovulate so I can have the TWW etc. I really hope you do ovulate soon, I think the tests are a brilliant idea, I use them daily and do the microscope thing too. Good luck to you too and thank you for your reply xxxx

hi...i was in the same boat as you....i came off pill and didnt have af for over a year, another 6 months passed by so i went back to doctors asking whether i could have provera, so they said ok. took it june, july and august and somehow miraculously conceived in septmeber 35 days after i took the last pill in august. i dont know whether it jumped start something for that one month and i was so lucky to catch it. we decided after our LO to try straight away because it took so long the first time.....ive had no periods again, so now 4 months on. im going to doctors weds as i want to see what they think so will let you know.
i did take some different supplements last year for the few months before i conceived so im not sure if that helped as well?
