I have pcos. I conceived my son with the help of clomid. Since my son was born my periods have become normal, but I don't know if I am ovulating. Should I go back to my doctor too see about going on clomid or try on my own to get pregnant again. I also had a miscarriage, the Dr. thinks it was due too low progesterone levels. Has anyone with pcos had any luck getting pregnant on their own after having one child? How did your pcos symptoms get after delivery? Did periods get normal?

The first poster, chickadee_jd, is incorrect about ovulation--it happens approx. 14 days before the onset of your NEXT period. If your cycles are regular, anywhere from 23-40 days in length and don't vary by more than a few days then chances are that you are ovulating. However, you should see your OB/Gyn before trying to get pregnant to address the possible problem of low progesterone.

Ovulation as I'm sure you know takes place approx 12 to 16 days after the first day of your last period. Occasionally some women experience ovulation pain at around that time (I do) I have had a cyst removed from one ovary a few years ago, after I had my daughter (4) I know I am ovulating as I get pain, sometimes bad, sometimes very mild. If you believe you are not ovating or are concerned that you are not, try using a ovualtion test kit which will give you a better idea. Good Luck!

If you still can't figure out if you're ovulating, I'd go and buy a test kit. Clear Blue is a good one! They have the monitors, but that mat be more than you want to spend! If that's the case, then you can get the Clear Blue Easy tests, that is just the stick, and it doesn't track them for you (that's the only big difference)!
And I realize that some people say have sex as much as you can, but from my doctor, they say it's not the best advice! Apparently it isn't the best to just have sex constantly, wait til its around your ovulation time, so there's more concentration of sperm, as my doctor said "you get more bang for your buck!"
Good luck, I wish you the best!
