trouble conceiving

Me and my partner been trying for a year and I think I keep misscarrying early . Its upsetting really I have been taking pregnacare conception fpr the last two montha to ensure my body has all the vital vitimins that I could be lacking , I have had blood for my hormone levels which came back normal and waitig for an abdominal scan as my periods are very scanty and unpredictable and usually do not have a flow alot of things can throw off a period bit not like this. It confuses me when I have a period 18 days later or 50 days later and sometimes they range from 21 -28 when they are being slightly normal. I dont know what to do what if I am ovulating properly I couldnt even do ovulation test because my cycles are so unpredictable.  We really want a baby and if it happens it happens but im not prepared to just conxeiwve under the wrong circumstances like if my body is not at the absaloutle best of health please help

i'm not sure where you live or how it is where you are but you could discuss it with your doctor, metformin is used for those reasons also and also to prevent first trimester miscarriages, I don't have pcos well I don't believe so because my periods are regular and I don't have trouble concieveing, it wouldn't hurt to discuss your options with your doctor

metformin helps you to ovulate properly, it also helps prevent miscarriage I took it before I began trying got pregnant the first cycle on it and continued taking it until last week when I was into my 15th week

So are these just tablets which make you ovulate ? .... or ovulate properly I mean I didjt want help really but I just dont think im ovulating correctly and will it effect me if I keep misscarrying? Just dont unserstand how I can get a faint positive and begatives after on 2 different occasions and I can never think oh yes im pregnant ..... because it always ends up in disappointment when can the doctor prescribe these tablets... and is it completly healthy ? Did tou try any of the pregnacare vits ?? X

I used metformin and I got pregnant the first cycle on them......I had no problems with infertility but I had just come off birth control and I also had pcos so the doc told me that I would take a while to conceive ...also had 2 miscarriage both at 7weeks.....there's also clostil or clomid.....there's a fertility/infertility section on here as well if you are interested in checking them out

Hopfully the scan will tell me that my tubes aint blocked and that I have no cysts atall to rule out that there is not anything wrong, then I can go from there to try and find out if I am actually ovulating every month as my cycles have varied from 18 - nearly 50 days / 21 22 26 27 28 31 32 38 and upwards but I have noticed this change dramatically since I have been having unprotected sex with my partner so.... it cannot be stress because I am very chilled out and we aint trying to the point of which we stress of it happens it happens but I am very concerned I need advice from maybe people of exsperienced this so I came on here to try and find possible answers even though the doctors are the only ones but they are pretty useless what medication can they use that make sure you ovulate properly??

No I havnt yet gone down that road, the doctors run bloods fpr my hormone levels and they came back normal and they said I wouldnt have that but I asked to make an appointment at hospital for an abdominal ultrasound scan tp check I dont have any cysts atall , as I am bot giving up on the fact my periods are very bland a weirdly irregular the only thing I can think of which is upsetting them is if I am conceiving and somewhere down the line is going wrong I am taking pregnacare conception I sm on my second box just to make sure I have enough of the vital vitimins for healthy conception but I dont understand why I have not yet held a pregnancy both times in which im aware of getting pregnant and misscarrying I had faint positives on both and then negatives after and not ling after that exsperiencing a very painfull heavy bleed which I am not used to ..

have you seen a fertility specialist??? their are a lot of other tests that could be run to determine the problem.....yur periods being so irregular strikes me as odd...do you have polycystic ovaries?? that make conception difficult also.....I hope all goes well and I wish you the best

No I wasnt the last time I was on birth control was a few years ago, I am gettig really worried they said I cant have pcos because my hormone levels are fine I just dont know what to do I dont know when I ovulate, and when I think I do I dont think I do cycles are so messed up half of the time they dont wven flow they are just pink wiping so messed up ! I know its does take on average a year for couples to conceive right ? But I think its happening but something keeps going wrong :( x
