Hi all. I'm 24 and in December found out that I had had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks, it seemed like my body was determined to hold on to the pregnancy, I ended up having medical management as well as an ERPC! After the op we waited to ttc until first period, as advised, I had a period at 39 days. Second cycle round it has been 42 days and no period. I have had numerous negative tests, but have had pregnancy symptoms (sicky, backache, cramps, tired) and last couple of days I have had loads of CM, which I had last time round and got a positive test result. I am so confused, I feel pregnant, but have lost all faith in my body. Do I carry on waiting for period, or do I go to the docs. HELP!!
Hi from 1st starting my periods they have never been regular and would last the full 7 days when i did have 1, i went to the doctors and they sent me for a scan and found a cyst on one of my ovaries which they told me to come back after 6 week for another scan and it had gone they then told me that when a girl is due on her period they do get cysts so i then thought everything was fine, then getting with my boyfriend only 3 months into the relationship i got caught pregnant but at 4-5 weeks i had a m/c after that i started 2 bleed and loose big blood clots like when i had m/cd and would bleed for 2 weeks none stop then stop for 2-3 days that lasted for a few month, i have been back to the doctors and have asked to go for a scan which they have done this week and said one of my ovaries look bulky which could be PCOS but find out the results next week for def, i have seen on the internet that they is a thing called baby asprin to help get pregant would anyone be able to give me a bit of advice please xx
I'm 20 and got told i had PCOS at age 16. I never had regular periods they were usually every 4 to 5 months, I never let it bother me until my sister had a baby and i began to grow broody due to the fact that I had a paranioia that it was something I may not experience, it was as if I had convinced myself I was infertile before even trying. So I secretly came off the pill with my boyrfriend of 2 years. A year had passed and I still didn't fall pregnant. Considering my young age the fact that I just couldnt get pregnant, I became extremely anxious and unhappy with my life. Then at 15 months I ovulated (which I knew due to the egg white discharge and +opk) then 2 weeks later discovered I was pregnant!!! I guess it just took me time to get ovulating again after the pill, but obviously I dont ovulate as often as someone without PCOS, but the fact is, YOU STILL OVULATE! ANd if not naturally there is treatments to make you ovulate. I just felt like I should share this in case there is anyone similar to me who has convinced themselves they can't concieve, it does take time but it will happen.

I am new to the site but I have been using the cbfm and last month, no PEAKS ! I am confused because I see cm and noticed an abundance of it last month. Technically, I have been using the monitor for 4 cycles, in which DH has been out of town for two, ugh ! If the monitor doesn't show PEAK, but I see CM does this mean I didn't ovulate. Technology vs good-ole fashion testing(site).
I have a c section in Nov of 2008. After two weeks of being home I had to go back because of infections. Two weeks in the hospitol away frm my newborn baby girl, not to metion the pain and torture. I had to have a second "clean-up" surgery because 5 kinds of antibotics didn't work. We are trying again and now I am worried all those complications may have made me infertal. Is this possible?
Hi, I am using the clearblue fertility monitor for 2 months now. My first month was normal, I had 2 high fertility days, followed by 1 peak day and 2 other days of high. On my second month, I had a high on day 16, then I was unable to test for 3 days due the fact that I was out of the country and I forgot my monitor (so I don't know if I had a peak or not). I am now on day 26 and my monitor is still showing high fertility (10 days of high!) Do somebody knows what that means? May I be pregnant? Please help me! Thanks :-)
So, I've suffered from recurrent miscarraiges in the past (4 that I know of)...and my husband and I haven't used any sort of birth control for the past two years...partly due to the fact that the birth control pill causes me to gain significant amount of weight. I've been working on my weight loss actively for the past year (the latest miscarraige was back in Dec...being depressed from that doesn't help weight loss). I may currently be pregnant, but am still considered "overweight"...I think I'm almost severely overweight, but my doctor said "no"...my question is, if I AM pregnant, is it safe for me to SAFELY lose weight if I keep eating properly (healthy foods) and exercise daily (just walking 5 miles)?
Hi, me and my husband have been ttc for 6 years now and have just started clomid 50mg 2 weeks ago and i am also takin glucophage and i was just wondering does clomid really work and what could i be doing to help it , if anything
Hi i am 27 years old and recently was given clomid due to the fact that I have Pcos days 2-6 and went to see my doctor on day 12 and she said that I had 4 Follicles on my right side which was 23.87x14.96mm, 25.24 x 18.39mm, 18.84 x 17.56mm and 12.53x17.86mm. I was given Novarel injection at 8pm on Day 12 and told to have sex days 12-15 and to start Crinone on day 16. What are my chances of getting pregnant? and could all of my follicles be released with the HCG shot? and all be Fertilized?
