Hi all,

Just been diagnosed with PCOS. This is the story so far. I'm after guidance as to what to do next.I was having a check up on a cyst that I had on an ovary when the ultrasound came back that I have PCO.

When the U.S tech said that my original cyst seemed to have resolved itself I was relieved. But the doc called me to see me about the multiple small cysts that were found on both my ovaries and told me PCOS.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not challenging the docs diagnosis but I am really confused about it. I recently had my Implanon taken out in June to ttc and have not had a period yet. I was regular when i used BCP's at about 19 until I decided on the Implanon. I wasn't concerned about missing periods because I knew that this was a possible side affect of the implant.

When I got my first one out, I decided to give my body a break and I got a period in the first month. Wasn't ttc then so I went back on Implanon and hence no AF again. Now the doctor is relating this symptom to PCOS yet the only other symptoms I have is the hormone imbalance and the cysts. I am not overweight and don't have facial hair etc so I was hoping that the implant was the reason for no AF yet.

So, dilusioned as I am, before the diagnosis I assumed my body was still recovering from 4 1/2 years of the Implant hormones and that my cycle would start in the first month or 2, but no.

The doc told me that he won't be concerned until after 12 months of trying, and I get that, but because I haven't had my first cycle and have no idea when it's coming, I'm not sure what I should be doing? I feel like I need to be doing something!

If PCOS stops you from ovulating regularly and getting AF, how am I suppose to chart/ keep track of anything that is happening in my body if I'm constantly waiting for my first AF to arrive?

We can just try and DTD every day and cross our fingers but then it seems like we're wasting our time?

I have read so many conflicting arguments about whether Implanon interrupts the functioning of your fertilty clock. I would hate to think my choice of contraception has messed up my body.

Please help, I'm extremely stressed atm and not sure what the next step is.
