    the number of follies and constant positive OPK's would have me asking for gyne referral and additional testing - sounds like PCOS to me hun

    do u have any other symptoms of PCOS? for me i have PCO but not the syndrome. i had an u/s and blood tests done to confirm. might be worthwhile for u. i have long irregular cycles but nothing else. other symptoms of the Syndrome include excessive body hair (incl facial), higher testosterone levels, acne, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, thinning of hair on head or receding hair line, and some areas of thick skin.

    maybe have a blood test done....?? hth

    Thanks everyone, I have been TTC for 2 years now and have had all the BT's and ultrasounds. Was seeing a GYN and he put me on clomid, no luck there. I don't have any other symptoms, I am not overweight, no hairy bits, no insulin resistance, no high testosterone, nothing. So It's really a mystery. I don't think there is much they can do anyway is there? I just had a m/c so i know I can finally concieve, but now I am 40 days post m/c and no sign of AF or anything

    Maybe, but I don't think I have endometriosis, my Af is usually light and pain free. I have read about it but, what exactly are the symptoms?
    I'm pretty sure i have annovulation, when you have cycles, but don't ovulate, only sometimes.

    they can diagnose pcos through a laporoscopy also - thats all i meant!

    i really had no idea i had endometriosis - i always had painful period pain and was very heavy off the pill but thats all i can put it down to - i just thought that was normal for me!

    maybe it might be worth talking to your gyno about a laporoscopy

    I would definitely speak to your doctor or better yet a gyno as most GP's didnt study gynocology and don't know everything. Lucky for me my GP did so that is why after 3 years of issues i was finally diagnosed. I have PCOS and with that i have very irregular cycles, im lucky to have fallen pregnant twice naturally as i was told i would never. I am insulin resistant, over weight because of that and find it impossible to lose any weight. I don't have any other symptom so no acne, extra hair or any other nasty side effect.

    I wish you luck with everything.
