Hey everyone! I recently went to the
doctor and they think I might have pcos
(polycistic ovary syndrome) because for
one...When I was 17 I still never started
my period so then I went to the doctor and
they gave me a pill to start it and of
course it started right off. And I
started taking birth control and it was
very regular...Then back in november I
stopped taking it because my huband and I
decided we wanted to start trying to have
a baby..Well my period never came so I
waited 3 months and went to the doctor and
she told me that. And she also gave me
some medroxyprogesterone pills to help me
start my period. Well after I took them
my period started right off. It hasn't
been a month yet so it isn't time for it
again. But I am just kind of worried
about having a baby!!!! I'm so scared we
can't. Has anyone else had this problem
and been able to concieve? Thanks so
much!

Have you tracked your ovulation? Seeing
that an egg normally only lasts about
12-24 hours, it's a miracle that so many
women get pregnant at all. I have always
been told that you shouldn't worry about
fertility until you have been trying for
over a year. I've always had weird
cycles, but since having babies, I am like
clockwork now. I always like to suggest
clomid or chaste berry extract. The
clomid is prescription, but chaste berry
extract is an otc pill you can get from
gnc, vitamin world, or any health food
store, and it helps boost ovulation, and
also relieves menstrual cramps. What does
your doctor think? Well, keep us posted,
and don't worry too much. It normally
happens when you least expect it!!!
Im 18 weeks preggo. I have a history of
endometriosis. Also polycystic. Ive
had one ovary and tube removed due to
cysts. The remaining ovary still, to
this day, has multiple cysts. It has
been cauterized(burnt to remove cysts)
twice. I didnt think that I would ever
conceive. But 3 months into my marriage
I did!!! Dont stress over things. The
doc told me that the only cure for the
endo and cysts was to be pregnant. So
while your preggo nothing happens.
Everything is lyes dorment. If you have
any questions dont hesitate to ask.
Relax and have fun trying to have a baby!!

Thanks girls for you replies!! You guys
actually give me hope!!! kate..Does the
caste berry extract have any side effects?
And also if you become pregnant will it
hurt the baby if you take it before you
find out ur pregnant?
I have not been regular since going on the
pill either... I have have had to take
two cycles of the medroxyprogestrone.
One worked, one did not. So I am just
waiting too. It stinks, but since we are
not regular there is not a ton to do about
it. My doc says if I go past 35 days we
will do the medroxyp. Again. I was
worrie about it at first b/c of the side
effects, but as long as not prego we are
fine.
I am having a test done on monday to see
if my tubes are blocked b/c I have had
the hormone tests and everything seems to
be fine that way.
