pcos

[klascrew]

i have been having unprotected sex for the past 5 years and havent been pregnant. i havent realy been trying to get pregnant but i do have sex at all times during my cycle. i have been feeling quite sharp pains at both sides where my ovaries should be located. i've read about ovarian cysts and think that my failure to get pregnant may be due to PCOS as my partner already has a child. i did an ultrasound once and it was reported that everything looked normal but that was just to check on my irregular cycle so i'm not sure if they were looking for cysts.

Could the pain i am feeling be linked with PCOS? its a sharp pain that i feel at varying times during the month so i wouldn't link it with ovulation as that would mean i'm ovulating for quite a few times per month and still not pregnant.

I have been irragular since the age of 15. The drs always told me i was a "late bloomer"well im now 27 and have been married 4yrs me and my husband have tried everything but nothing seems to work.My cycles are still irragular unless im on the pill.I was taking birthcontrol to regulate my cycles In nov of 2010 i decided i would get off and see what would happen? well as u can imagine i didnt cycle again going on 2 months already i went to the dr for a annual and im not pregnant..:(iv always wondered whats really wrong with me. The drs always diagnos me and then a couple of months later they rule it out..anywhere from hypothyroidism,PCOS,HPV,so at this point im so confused and frustrated. The only thing that gives my mind a little ease is knowing that im not going threw this alone..thanks for all of you'lls stories they are really comforting.

i was on the pill for 10 years plus and had regular cycles the whole time...i only realised my natural irregular cycles after coming off the pill to try for a baby.  If your not ttc then it may be best to stay on the pill, however you should really try and find out the reason for your natural irregular cycle....Good luck 8-)

thanks. i was put on the pill on 2 separate occasions for 3 mths each time by 2 different doctors. they said that would have helped to make my cycle regular but it went back irregular after a time. i'm thinking of going back on it for an extended period though. i guess i really do need to get some further tests done. *sigh*

hi, i also had an u/s due to irregular cycles this confirmed pcos so im sure that this would have been picked up on your u/s if you had pcos.  I had no pain or any other symptoms apart from my irregular cycle and my failing to become pregnant after trying for 18 months.

Perhaps you should go back to you dr and ask them to investigate further now they have ruled out pcos.

Good luck 8-)

i went 4 years without getting pregnant and i had the same worries... im sure that they would have seen a cyst if u had 1 u could try birth control just to even out ur cycle and that might help since u r not actually ttc ..... incase u decide that u do want a baby there is hope i was irregular for years and then as soon as i stopped trying for a child i found out i was pregnant .... i am offecially a believer in it will happen when the time is right lol
