I want to have regular periods so I can start to track ovulation. The Dr I saw doesn't want to see me for 9-12 months and will then refer me to a specialist.
I tried Vitex but it didn't really make my periods regular, just maybe more of them, and helped with acne and some PMS symptoms.
Is there anything else I can try?
I'm confused as I am a healthy BMI, exercise regularly and eat well. I can't see any more changes I can make to my diet that will help.. I am taking preconception vitamin now. WHat else can I try?View Thread

1 month ago hubby and I decided to start trying for our first baby. I saw a Dr 2 weeks ago and she wanted to test me for PCOS. I have long irregular cycles.
I have been diagnosed today with PCOS. The ultrasound said I had a retroverted uterus, endometrial thickness of 11mm and enlarged ovaries and multiple follicles.
I am confused though as last week I had some light bleeding for 3 days, that was only brown in colour. While I have irregular periods, they are always 7 days long and the same heaviness.
I told the Dr and she said it is PCOS. Ive taken a pregnancy test but its negative.
Could it be PCOS?View Thread
we really want a baby we are both 24 getting ready t be 25 what should we do????View Thread

November 26, 2012 : 27 days cycle
December 22, 2012 : 26 days cycle
January 15, 2013 : 24 days cycle
February 9, 2013 : 25 day cycle
Being frustrated by this irregular cycle, in after January period I bought the "Clear Blue Digital" ovulation kit. My period was Jan 15-Jan 20, so I start testing started Jan 22 once a day everyday around 2:30PM. Got my first positive on Jan 24, so we intercourse Jan 24, Jan 25, and Jan 26.So my questions are :
1. I test jan 23 not position, then 24 hrs later jan 24 got positive. The box says ovulation may occurs 12-36 hrs later. What if LC surge was actually 23 night, and by the time I tested positive again 24, the ovulation done. Should I test every 12 hrs?
2. After the positive test how many days a women can be fertile?
3. I was thinking intercourse exactly 3 days after my period ending, is it a good idea or that would be too early for the sperm be alive?
4. Could pls give me some suggestion about this month ovulation and fertile period based on the calender I provided above. Yes, I am using the webmd ovulation calender and all sort of different apps, but still confused.
Thanks in advance. I am in distress, pls provide me any kind of direction and advise. Thank again!!!View Thread
Earlier evaluation is warranted if the female partner has irregular menstrual cycles, a history of pelvic infections or endometriosis, suspected male infertility, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Furthermore, women over age 35 should see a specialist if they have been trying to conceive for more than 6 months or earlier if clinically indicated.
One's chance of having a child decreases with age and duration of the infertility. When in doubt, seek help from a fertility specialist. Some simple tests can be offered to help you determine if there is a reason as to why you have not gotten pregnant yet.View Thread
It's almost 6 years since then and my periods are the same, extremely irregular, but I'm ready to take that journey again. I'm starting by losing all of the depression weight I gained after losing my son, a work in progress. I also met with a Gynecologist, hadn't seen one since my first pregnancy in 2007. According to tests,my hormone levels are low, but still within the "normal" range. The 10-day pills they gave me to force my period didn't work and the vaginal ultrasound came back normal too, so, what do I do?
If I don't have a menstrual cycle will I not be able to get pregnant?
Is there something my doctor didn't check that I should ask about?
Could something have gone wrong during my labor that someones not catching?
Any advice would help. Thanks.View Thread
SO, when should I get off the pill? What if it takes me a while

Thanks!!!View Thread

In order to establish the cause for missed periods, a thorough history and physical examination should be performed with additional testing that addresses each level of the reproductive axis (i.e. brain, ovaries, uterus). The evaluation may reveal that more than one system is involved here. I generally recommend that women be evaluated if they have had complete cessation of menses for 3 months or irregular periods for fewer than 9 cycles per year. When in doubt, always contact your physician.View Thread

1. Can I get pregnant with the pull-out method or the initial ejaculate?
Oh, yes, you can. Even if a man pulls out before ejaculation, a small amount of semen can still be expelled into the vagina during intercourse. This is because the initial ejaculate contains the most sperm. If you are not trying to get pregnant, I would not rely on the "pull-out" method to prevent conception.
2. Do men who wear tight underwear have a hard time conceiving?
Unfortunately, the answer isn't clear here. There is no conclusive evidence that wearing tight underwear makes it harder to conceive. However, normal sperm production requires a cool environment. If in doubt, switch to boxers.
3. Does lifting my legs up after intercourse increase my chances of getting pregnant?
No. Lifting your legs in the air after intercourse will not increase your chances of getting pregnant. Once sperm is deposited into the vagina, they find their way to the egg fairly quickly. However, I do recommend that women lay on their backs for 10-15 minutes after intercourse to make sure that the majority of the semen stays in the vaginal vault.
When in doubt, always ask your physician to help you with ways to enhance your fertility.

Mirco Dose Lupron 10 units BID
75 iu menopur BID
175 gonal f BID
They stopped the stimulating medication on the 6th day of stim due to low estrogen levels. They said the estrogen level did not double from day 4 to day 6, so it was best to cancel. (I had 10 follicles that measured 10mm on day 6 ultrasound)
I have now started stimulating this month (on day 5 today)
I am currently on:
Mirco Dose Lupron 10 units BID
75iu menopur BID
375iu gonal f BID
5 mg letrozole (femara) once a day for five days
I had my day 4 ultrasound and had 10 follicles measuring at 7 1/2mm
with an estrogen level of 18.
I asked if the letrozole could cause the the low estrogen level as well, and they seem to believe it does not. I am reading that it can cause a lower estrogen level. Would an estrogen patch help?
Can you offer any insight and how I should proceed and if the letrozole is also contributing to the low estrogen level as we can't afford to have the cycle canceled again, as we are paying out of pocket and this is our only chance.
Thank you so much for your time and help in this matter.

I need some advice on what I should do with TTC first child.
My cycle has always been irregular - for example from January 2012 to Jan 2013 my cycle length was (days) 22, 27, 61, 31, 61, 89, 69.
I know most gynos/Drs want you to try for a yr but is it fair to see someone if you have an irregular cycle?
I saw a gyno in the past who ruled out PCOS, hormonal inbalance and basically said it is just me. I tried vitex for a couple yrs and it made no difference (i dont think).
I'm scared that we will have trouble falling pregnant, and basically wont know when I ovulate.
What should i do/try to get more regular?View Thread
