I'm new
Hi ladies - I hope you don't mind if I join this forum, I feel it is more appropriate for me. I'm married, 25 years old, been trying to conceive for nearly 10 months, came off the pill before Christmas but only had 1 period in March since coming off. Been to see gyne consultant last week, he put me on a week's worth of Noresthisterone to make me come on (just taken my last tablet!) So should come on probably tomorrow. Got a pelvic scan on Wednesday to see what is what, then got to do blood tests. I'm most probably going to me be on Wednesday for my scan - will this be a problem?
Consultant also said that he will probably put me on Clomid, has anyone else been on this, what's the success rate? I know if you are on it a long time that there is a risk of cancer.
Would like to hear from anyone else who is going through same thing. x
PS: can you let me know what your abbreviations stand for when you write in a post.

sorry i don't know much about clomid but i know some of the girls on here are on it so i'm sure they'll be along soon.
with regards to your scan i'd give the hospital a quick call just to make sure its ok. i know when i went i was on too and they said it didn't matter and to come along anyway.
i'll bump the abbreviations list to the top for the forum for you so you can see what they all mean.
let us know how you get on at the hospital x
i had to wait for mine but i think thats because i've got pcos so they done a load of tests all at once with me as well as testing hubby. but the man who done my scan did kind of tell me he thought it looks like i did have pcos but still had to wait for all the blood tests to come back to conrfirm it all.
you must have a good doctor cos i was on the depo injection for years and when i stopped getting it they wouldn't refer me until my periods came back regular it was only when i hadn't had one for over a year they started doing tests.
i know its not nice going for test when your on. i was hoping they'd tell me to wait but they didn't and they done an internal on me. i was nearly crying cos i hate all that kind of invasive stuff as it is. god know what i'd be like in labour. lol. i'd tell them to leave the room.
don't worry about it though you'll be fine. once you know wots going on with your body and they get you on any meds that you might need you'll soon be on track to that bfp.
have you tried agnus castus? that was really good in helping regulate my periods. its just a herbal remedy but a lot of us on here use it.
I think I've got PCOS too, DH thinks I'm jumping the gun. Do you mind me asking what are they doing for you to TTC? Haven't tried AC but considering doing so, I've read up on it. Would you recommend it then?
over the last few year i've only been having about 2 periods a year but since taking AC i've have one about every 6 weeks since about april/may this year. i've only picked up i've ov once in that time though. thats even if i did ov.
The doctor has put me on metformin for the PCOS so i'm taking that with the AC. I think i'm gonna ovulate this week cos i've been monitoring the signs and if i do that means this cycle will be about 5 weeks which hopefully means its regulating even more.
to be honest all they done for me was say go away lose weight and take metformin. i went back last month and he just said carry on losing weight (i'm at slimming world) and taking metformin.
i've got to go back in 6 month which i'm not really happy with but hopefully i'll either have lost the weight he wants me to lose by then or i'll have fell pregnant. if i've lost the weight he'll put me on clomid.
i really struggle with my weight.
i'm also using a clearblue fertility monitor. i've never picked up a peak yet on it but i've only used it twice and i think its because of my long cycles. so i'm hoping it'll pick up a peak this week.
Good luck with ovulating!!!!
ooooooh i could just eat homemade soup now you'e said that. lol

Ive got my next appointment with the hospital in November which hopefully i wil be going on clomid.
I know one of the ladies on here was on clomid and is now pregnant.
I think they only put you on it for a maximum of 6 months and there is a risk of cysts and fibroids on your ovaries.
Hope this has helped a little bit. Any more questions ask away.

Wishing you all best of luck TTC, got my scan tomorrow morning. No sign of AF yet. I'll be in touch again soon to let you know how I went on. x
I'm having a pelvic scan in a couple of weeks too! I have regular periods and i'm oving but two of my hormone levels were a little ov, so its a just in case kind of thing.
Good luck, and I hope you period finds/ found you (we don't say that very often!!)

I had my scan yesterday and the doctor just kept saying "look's fine" "aha" and things like that. I asked her to tell me what she was seeing and she turned the screen round and explained everything to me as she did it. So if they don't tell you anything I'd just ask them to.
Good luck - it's really quick and pain free and hopefully you'll get some answers.
