Hi my name is Jen. I was diagnosed with PCO, not the syndrome when I was 21. My periods were all over the place, wasn't trying to concieve at the time but was in alot of pain and could never understand why. I was refered to a Gyno who sent me for an ultrasound when they discovered the cysts.
I was told to control my weight, at the time I was carrying a little extra weight but not alot.. I got the weight under control and the periods went back to normal. I was also told that my chances of having children would be slim and be hard to fall.
My BF at the time and I split and I moved back home. After a few months of feeling and looking great with my new slim figure I met my now husband.
Before we were married we fell pregnant. We weren't trying, we also weren't using any protection as I told myself "you can't get pregnant".
Well 5 weeks later I was at the doctors and she was sending me for another ultrasound to check my ovaries as I had the same pain and was feeling tired and queezy. When she asked me if I was pregnant I said, no way!
So long story short, we have a beautiful healthy 3 year old boy. We have been trying for another baby since April last year with no success. For the past 5 months I have had 2 periods a month which was making it SO hard to work out when I was ovulating.
It didn't even occur to me until recently that it could be because of PCOS as everything has been so normal up until almost 12 months ago.
I have been very very stressed with the whole unable to fall pregnant thing, I have put on alot of weight since having our son.. I have lost a bit of weight recently but I am no where near where I was when I fell pregnant.
Because my periods are all over the place I have no idea what is normal and when they are due. My last period was 30th December 09. At the moment it is day 24. I have had cramps for over a week, felt sick thru the day from time to time, mild headaches, sore boobs every few days and I think yesterday and today I may be spotting.
So to you all out there having troubles falling, I completely sympathise with you.
It is a strain on your relationship, I have had 4 close friends who have had babies in the past 6 months and you smile but inside your heart is aching and your asking yourself, when's it my turn?
My husband laughed at me the other day because our cat has just had kittens and now our goldfish is pregnant.... all things are supposed to come in 3's so hopefully I'm next.
I'm hoping and praying so much that all these signs are pointing to baby..
I did a test today but I think it must be too early as it was negative, but its hard as I don't know when my period is overdue!
Anyway I've ranted enough, good luck to everyone trying, I hope all your wishes come true soon. xoxo

I know what you mean about everyone around being pg/having babies when TTC. Just makes you feel like crying sometimes. Have you tried temping? I'm not sure exactly how it works but a lot of the ladies in the TTC threads do it. I think your temp rises a bit when you O. Maybe you could join the TTC thread. The ladies here are very supportive and a lot of them are going through the same thing.
and everything else crossed as well we won't need the specialist app. it is good (sorry not good to happen to anyone) just to read about people having similar issues and that its not only me going omg what is wrong with me. I have checked out the ttc posts and it sort of makes sense now bout the temping thing.
. i went to an entocronologist and was put on metamorphin and again to loose weight, well i did do that and they only came once !!!
