Possible pcos after ectopic??

[RealRuby]

Hi,

I've been ttc for 9mths now but me and my partner hadn't been protecting for 2 yrs before this .. I have had previously had an ectopic pregnancy (march o3) and only have my left tube & i also had a miscarriage in sept 05.After suffering with pains in Jan this yr i was sent for scans to check my ovarys and kidneys etc.Slight follicles were found on my left ovary but as i was having regular 35 day cycles my gp said i was more than likely ovulating,Well since then my cycles have ranged between 28 and 46 days,i have had bleeding between cycles 3 times since,my hair is falling out really bad although i'm not balding so i visited my gp who didn't seem that concerned but he's booked me in for day 21 bloods on cycle day 23 but if i do ovulate on day 21 which is in 3 days time baring in mind i've had a + opk today (cd18) the results won't be accurate?? I'm confused because from what i've read there meant to be done 7 days before your expected period!! Do you think i have pcos? And am i right about the test not bein accurate if done 12 days before my expected period?? Sorry if this confuses people.. Im confused myself lol!!

Hi Ruby,

Came accross your post after leaving one myself with zero replies so thought I'd leave a wee reply to let you know I have heard you.

I was asking about something similar, if i could have endo as I have been tested for PCOS and the dr feels I dont have this condition.

I had same worries as you, as I had not had a period for 4 months and they ran some tests for PCOS. Of course once the tests were organised I finally took a period.

Blood hormone levels came back normal based on blood being taken the day after period started... so I'm not sure how conclusive they would be and scan was a week after period, so again the scan was unlikely to show anything.

I could have it wrong, but I believe if you are tested after you ovulate there might not be too much to see or find.

Thats why I'm now going to go down the endometriosis line with my dr if they have concluded it cant be PCOS.

To be fair, I have more of the endo symptoms than PCOS anyway but thought I would let you know my experience.

Hope you find answers out soon xxx
