Hello again ladies, I havent posted for a while on this forum as I have been busy.
Welcome to all the newbies!

Ok so I went to see my doctor today about my pcos. My recent hormone level test came back normal so I wanted to know if I really have pcos or just cysts. She looked at my medical notes back to when I had the scan back in 2006 (they were scanning for damage to my tubes really....long story) but instead found cysts and my tubes were fine, But all they logged was "Enlarged ovaries, some cysts" Doctor agreed very very vague and no accurate diagnoses of pcos
I told her no other female in my family has pcos or any fertility issues at all and she was herself confused so.....shes sorting it for me to go for an ultrasound scan soon
To see if those bad boys are there and what my ovaries are like. It is possible to have cysts but not have pcos
In the meantime should have come yesterday but as of yet no sign of her, all last week I was displaying what I refer to as pms: pelvic cramps, sore nipples, nausea, headache, moodiness and tiredness but then all those symptoms went away at the weekend. I dont feel any of the above, maybe a bit emotional and my cm is clear, not enough to allow for but its there, sorry if TMI
In a way I wouldnt mind if came as then I would be able to try and track "ovulation" for next time also my doctor advised me to keep a menstral diary and make an appointment with her in my mid cycle for blood tests to check if I laid an egg.
If doesnt come by saturday I will be doing a and will be for as I will be doing for all you lovely ladies!

and to everyone!
We will all be cradling our little very soon!

My ovulation test says my levels have dropped. My cycle is officially over and it means that I am just waiting now to see if I will be disappointed or happy. I am on cd 28 out of 32. That means af will be here in a few days. My hope is that she isn't here and a bfp will be instead.

I am just not so sure though..

Not sure at all.

Hi,
I am a little older than you 34, but have pcos and can suggest two medicines. I got pregnant with baby #1 3 years ago taking 1500 mg of Metformin per day. It took 12 months so I am not sure if I was ovulating every month or not. But easy pregnancy and healthy baby boy. Unfortunately Meformin looses its punch after using it for a while so I am TTC on #2 for a year on it with no success. I went to a fertility dr and he put me on the lowest dose of Femara. (Its similar to Clomid, but doesn't carry the negative side effects for PCOS women as Clomid). I took clomid and had major cysts and no pregnancy. The Dr I see now says Femara thickens the uterus lining and doesn't hyperstimulate the ovaries the way clomid can for PCOS. I am on round 2 of it. Last cycle, headache was only side effect and I DID ovulate confirmed by ultrasound and blood work. Dr also said my uterus was thick as expected and did ovulate. I did experience some ovarian cramping at ovulation which he said is also normal and ok. I usually have a 33 day cycle and it appears the femara has shortened my cycle to 30 days which Dr said is also better for conception for an unknown reason. I highly suggest a fertility specialist and to mention femara or Metformin. You CAN get pregnant with PCOS you just have to find best drug combo for your body. : )

thanks guys! so cautious... would only be 3.5 weeks!
just left work early to go to docs... he got me to another test (and id only peed 1.5 hours earlier and drank heaps of water since) and there was still a noticeable line! i asked about hcg bloods and he said they rarely do them now as urine tests so accurate but sent one for me anyway to do a hcg then if pos
(which he was sure) asked them to do preg bloods, white cell count etc.
