I have PCOS and had ovarian drilling done on October 10th after 3 failed rounds of clomid. I eventually got my period all by myself for the first time in about a year after a 50 day cycle (normally have to be put on provera).

I am now currently on CD 17 and waiting for CD 23 for my my bloods test to check for ovulation (if my body will do it by itself now after the drilling) otherwise next round I will be put back on fertility drugs again.

I am getting so angry and frustrated at my body... I am getting weird pains that switch from left to right side, period type pains and I have a sore lower back. EWCM one day and not the next since CD 10. But no sore boobs and my BBT is all over the place... is it too much to want my body to work properly already and ovulate?!?! :cry: I would love to know what ovulation actually feels like again :(

Sorry but I just needed to have a bit of a vent and cry... hubby is off gaming and is a little sick of seeing me moping about. 5 people I know announced they were pregnant this week too and I am surrounded by pregnant people at work :cry:
 
Very sorry to hear you've been having all these problems. I wish there was any advice or insight I could give to make you feel better or to help your body start acting normally again. Hang in there though, I'm sure it will happen for you. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you.

I also have PCOS and never ovulated or had a regular cycle. I started taking Agnus Castus to make my cycle better and it worked. I took it until ovulation (I was temping as well) and then stopped until my period. Luckily, I fell pregnant on the second cycle of trying. My son is now nearly 2.

Have you tried Agnus Castus? It's only a herbal tablet, so no nasty side effects or injections. Just make sure that you don't take it once you've ovulated as it can cause a failure in implantation.

I will definitely be using it again, as my periods have gone AWOL again :haha:
 
:hug: I just wanted to offer some support to you! I know that feeling all to well!

I had a crappy response to clomid. 6 cycles of the stuff all the way to 150 mgs and only O'd twice, and it was a weak O even then.

I tried femara last cycle and it was so much better! If that is an option to you maybe bring it up to the doctor and see if he will switch you. I wish I would have tried it instead of clomid!!

No, I haven't tried Agnus Castus. Will ask my OBGYN whether he thinks it is worth me going on and giving it a go for my next cycle after my next drs visit. I am still yet to ovulate at all in over a year :( My periods are always awol now. Will need provera again to start my next cycle.

I have done some reading about Femara... and that is what I am really hoping that he will put me on it, if it comes to me going back on fertility drugs. 200mg of clomid didn't make me ovulate at all. :(
 
I can't add much to the other ladies advice but wanted to give you a :hug:

I have pcos too & spent 10 mths when ttc#1 with no natural af - it's such an awful feeling to be helpless when your body won't do the things it should. I had several occasions where I pretended to oh that I was going for a shower or similar & just sat & cried instead. I think he felt helpless too & got frustrated with me being upset all of the time.

:hugs: :hugs: I really, really hope your dr finds the right treatment for you! Good luck & :dust:
 
At present it just feels like I am hitting my head against a brick wall day after day, month after month. At least if I was ovulating, we would have a chance at conceiving... with no ovulation it is impossible :(

I just wanted to say I am sorry hun. I know how you feel being so frustrated.

I hope something works for you soon, I have also had angus catus mentioned to me as my cycles are all over the place. Doctors don't seem bothered!

I don't know whether it would work or not, going to do some research today!
