PCOS Infertility Appointments

Has anyone who has PCOS and had an appointment with infertility been on the larger bmi scale? I have my first infertility appointment next week, I have been fighting for this for 4 years after ttc for 6. I’ve had 2 gynaecologist appointments in a 4 year period so this appointment means the absolute world to me but I’m worried they’re just going to tell me I’m too overweight to receive any help. I am currently on a weight loss journey just now but I’m sure as fellow cysters, you can appreciate just how hard it is 😩

I completely understand your concerns. My BMI is high and I have PCOS. We did several cycles of IUI. I continue to workout and eat healthy. My doc mentioned my weight but it didn’t stop us from moving forward.

I get where you’re coming from. I’ve been working with a Reproductive Endocrinologist at a fertility clinic since September ‘21 and before our first appt I was STRESSED that all they were going to focus on was my weight. They didn’t even mention it. Since then we’ve talked with our doctor about it (he put me on metformin and said it could make me lose a few pounds) but they have never pressured me to lose weight or made it a requirement to move forward.

I've just been referred to a fertility consultant after my diagnosis. I'm terrified of them just telling me to loose weight as I have been hearing that for so long. And I'm trying, I really am but I can't seem to shift anything.

Can someone help me? Please read 😭💔

I'm looking for someone to help me decifer some awful news that I received from the Dr's. I had a fit test that came back positive for blood in my poo. It was 15

They wanted a repeat test and it came back four times higher than the previous result last week, it's now 61.

I have a horrible feeling I know what the cause is. I've experienced a lot of weight loss and vomiting these past few months. I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

I’m so confused! Please help

Yes I am delulu but I can see a very faint line in all of these tests apart from the bottom one. But these were taken between 8-11dpo & no change. I think I’m probably not pregnant but why are they positive?! All lines were apparent within the timeframe.
I had a mmc in January & have had one period since.
Please help!

Lh

When do you think I will ovulate? Have I missed my peak? So confused 😕 my highest reading was this morning but still classed as 'low' on premom. Any advice please? X

Period…

My period returned about 3 months ago but it’s so unpredictable😭 My tracker app says 5 days late… but yesterday and today I’ve had ovulation pain/aching and lots of clear discharge (TMI sorry!)
I don’t want to be buying a pregnancy test every month🤣🤣
I’m breastfeeding, so it makes sense that my hormones are just all over the place…
Just seems weird to be ovulating now!!

Pcos secondary infertility?

Hi ladies, I have pcos and after a year of trying we did two round of Letro and got pregnant. Per the pre sticks ( which ik aren’t always accurate for pcos but have gotten progesterone checked at day 21 and have been around 10 before Letro and like 18 after Letro) I have always ovulated.

I’m on my third round of Letro and it’s day 25 and still no ovulation. I’m kind of just spiraling that I am extra broken now and will never be able to get pregnant again. Anyone else go through this? 😭

Positive?

The line came up straight away, is it a positive or an evap or am I just seeing things ?
