    I wish my body would know what to do, I hate having PCOS sometimes :(

    So about 3 weeks ago I started getting sharp pains around my ovaries, so much that moving or turning would be painful, so I thought 'here we go, maybe I have a cyst about to rupture'. Anyway about 4 days later I got some bright red spotting followed by 4 days of old brown spotting.

    Off to the Dr to get a pelvic ultrasound as I was sure with having the spotting a cyst had infact ruptured, ultrasound was booked for 2 days later. So on the morning of the ultrasound I started bleeding and thought o.k so AF is here - after a 72 day cycle - although normally for the first couple of days it is really heavy and lasts for 7-8 days, but this time it was quite light and after 4 days was gone.

    So 5 days after the ultrasound rang my Dr to get the results of the scan. He told me there was nothing to indicate a ruptured cyst (good) but my ovaries where full of cysts (yep that's PCOS) and I had a lead follicle measuring 15mm. Now that confused me as if I only had AF 5 days ago I shouldn't have a lead follicle yet - too many years of IVF have taught me that - so based on the day I rang him this would mean I was due to ovulate very soon, or maybe now I have a large cyst starting to grow.

    So today is CD11 and I've started getting discomfort around my ovaries again, I would so love to have a normal body that knew what it was supposed to do instead of always second guessing everything
