Hello everyone,
I am 24 and have been trying to conceive our second child for 6 months. My husband and I have not used any methods of BC for a year and a half now. Six months back I decided to go to the doctor for a check up to see why after all this time haven't I become pregnant. The doctor told me it was because I had been on mristh control for so long and it still needed to get out of my system give it time. So, I waited but when I started to get a period twice in one month and then not have one for 2 months. I knew something was wrong. I went back to the doctor because having a period every two weeks was not fun. Not to mention it was depressing to not see a period for two months and think I was pregnant and see BFN's every week. This visit I bring my husband for support and to help me have a voice. Well, this visit my doctor does a hormone test after we both insist that something is wrong. My doctor call with my test results and lets me know that I have PCOS and that she is going to prescribe me provera for 3 cycles to get my period jump started. I need to read Taking Charge Of Your Fertility to learn how to chart because I need to start charting my BBT everyday, check for cervical fluid, check my cervix daily, buy a OPK and start taking prenatal vitamins. If I don't get pregnant within 3 months then she will prescribe me Clomid to make me ovulate. All I could think was I knew something was wrong, and what is PCOS? I pounded the internet to find out what it was and to get a better understanding of what was happening to my body and why?
I'm on my second month of provera and today is the first day I 've felt a change in my cervix, other than when my period is ending. The catch is I still have no change in cervical fluid.
I am trying to keep a positive outlook on things. My husband and I pray and just hope for the best.
Good luck and baby wishes
