Thanks Andy.

Is a normal check up fine? I had one in March and told my gynea that we would be TTC from June and he said everything looked fine, but Im just wondering whether they can pick up any issues like PCOS from just a regular check up?

Hayley, just check a few posts up. I explained to TaNasha to get the link.

Ai Ika, so sorry to hear about the little bean. But on the bright side, now you know you'll have decent POA going forward. Like Sue said, don't worry about the PCOS too much. I also have it and it's very manageble on the right meds. And being with a FS, I'm sure he'll sort you out chop-chop. Oh and also, the laporoscopy isn't that bad either. I thought it was going to be much worse than it actually was.

TaNasha, I've also always had that fear. My advice to you would be to go to see your gynae now and get a complete check out. Rather know if something is wrong now already so that you can start working on sorting it out, than wait for a year and then start doing tests like I did. And now, I've been TTC for 18 months, been diagnosed with PCOS, wasn't ovulating until a few months ago, had to go for laporoscopic surgery, etc, etc. It's a good idea to get checked out in the beginning stages of TTC. If nothing's wrong, great. But if something is maybe a little off, you get the chance so sort it out sooner rather than later.

Tanasha, I think all women feel that they will not be able to fall pregnant. it was one of my biggest fears, I also felt something might have been wrong with me, long before we even started trying.

general rule of thumb is if you are under 30 then try for a year, if nothing see a doc. if you are over 30 try for 6 months and if nothing then see a doc.

best of luck!

ika im so sorry sweeti,on the bright side atleast you will have a solid poa now. i also have pcos due to being insulin resistant..they put me on glucophage which could be used as a frtility drug too as it makes you o, and you will have to go on a low gi diet. the good thing about glucophage is your cycles are like clockwork or rather they should be! nothing to stress about its 100percent managable.

kimika mine is about the same as yours but it seems to vary monthly. the thing is that i wake up at 4 and our average temp at that time is about -8 as we live in a very cold area..i thought matbe that could affect it plus in the last few days i have to get up at night to p (which could be an effect from the cycst) so maybethat affects it too?!
