Hi Jess,

My story is relatively simple. Always had irregular periods. Longest I ever went previously without a period was only 2 months. Last few years, cycle regulated itself beautifully, thus I've never been on the pill, as I didn't want to muck around with my hormones just as they were righting themselves. Also over the last few years, I've gone from being underweight, to reaching my ideal weight for my height (which the doc said could have triggered the lack of AF) As soon as we made the decision that we would TTC, period disappeared. After 10 months, saw specialist who diagnosed me with PCOS in April (I had always suspected it, coz it was hinted at years ago too). Anyway... started on Metformin, with a view to starting Clomid after 6 weeks. Had a bleed, and decided to stick just with Metformin to see if a cycle had been re-established, and 2nd cycle.. I have my BFP!

Very exciting. I have always been prepared for not conceiving quickly, because my mum struggled with conceiving and miscarriages (specialist said sounds like she could have had PCOS too.. as well as something else to do with the miscarriages.. coz each of her pregnancies got longer... last one she lost was 5 months.. and then my bro was premmie and survived, and then I was right on time )

Anyway.. my PCOS prob seemed to be resolved quite simply.. so I hope yours is too Jess!
