TTC with PCOS

I newly found out that I have PCOS and have been unable to get pregnant. I’m taking Letrozole, but haven’t started ovulating yet. I’m 22 and desperately want a baby. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

Inositol supplements helped me first time alongside acupuncture which brought back my ovulation. This time I tried metformin and that worked

Myo-inositol took me from one or two periods a year to 31 day cycles on the dot and pregnant x

Another vote for Myo-inositol but also the Low GI diet! Inositol brought my cycle down to around 40 days, but I fell pregnant within 2 months of the low GI diet! Xx

Highly recommend having some testing done to determine the main drivers of your pcos. I spent months trying to cut carbs and taking Myo inositol while my cycle got longer and more irregular only to eventually realize stress was my main driver. As soon as i started focusing on sleeping more and being mindful of my stress my cycles became regular again. I also have to stress the importance of finding a way that works for you to track ovulation so that even if you ovulate rarely you can still make the most of any chances you do have

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
