Answer 1

Hey I am also diagnois with PCOS and was ttc for 4 years on my own, I also have irreguler periods which I had from a teen, having sex every other day would be great but if and egg isn't dropped it'll be a waste of time, Having PCOS means that your hormones are imbalance and if it is imbalance it'll be hard for you to predict ovulation, using bbt and opks would probably work, I tried the bbt but it didnt make since to me cause my temperture stayed the same, I started clomid(50mg) on April 4th, then a next cycle may 21st, (notice how far apart the cycles are) then I tried clomid 100mg July 25th, I am praying it work this month, try ready living with PCOS its a good book that helps you along with this sydrome.


Baby dust to you on conceiving, PCOS is a hard thing to live with it is very frustrating, but it can be treated not cured, but am praying they find a cure for us because its the most cause of infertility in woman

I have been diagnosed with PCOS. You need to go see a fertility specialist, it is very hard to get pregnant on your own when you have PCOS. When your periods are very irregular it means that your hormones are out of balance and that you are not ovulating regularly, if you do at all. When you have PCOS you can't chart your cycle or even know when you might possibly ovulate. My husband and I had sex every other day for two years before we finally went to a fertility doctor, so just doing that won't help you to get pregnant. Your doctor may possibly put you on clomid and it usually helps women to get pregnant within six months after starting it. Don't worry there is a high likely hood that you will get pregnant if you get help from your doctor. After I was put on clomid I conceived in two months and now I have two beautiful boys. I would suggest going to the doctor, and the sooner the better. I wish you the best.

I would highly suggest purchasing the ClearBlue Easy Digital Ovulation Kit which can be bought at Target for $30 instead of $40 which is at most retail shops. This Digital kit has 7 tests which you pee on every morning (preferrably in the afternoon time) and if you're about to ovulate 12-36 hours, it will show you a digital smiley face. If you're not about to ovulate, then it will just show you a circle. The test detects LH Surge which is a hormone that is at it's top peak when you're about to ovulate (release the egg). Once you see that smiley face, you should have sex within 12-36 hours. Sperm can stay in your body anywhere from 3-5 days. Obviously this depends on both partners' health also. The reason I would suggest this digital test rather than other tests in the market is because the other aren't digital. You have to kind of guess yourself by looking at pink lines...if you're okay with that, then you can purchase the First Response Ovulation Kit. It's cheaper and has more tests but it's not digital.

Check out the Clearblue Easy Digital OPK:

Also, I've read that before you have sex, it's good for the male to drink coffee about 15 min because the sperm are more "jumpy" and can get to the egg faster...especially the y-sperm (boy sperm).


Good Luck and baby dust to you!

I have irregular periods, but not diagnosed with anything yet. I have been told that charting your temperature is a good way, especially with irregular periods.

I have done a lot of reading into this and trying to have sex every other day does increase your chances.

Try looking out for stretchy clear mucus, as that's meant to be the most fertile time, then have sex every day until it goes.

It's a lot of hard work with irregular periods, as 'you never know when'.
You'll get there try and stay positive x

Also go to boots, they have ovulation kits. Basically you pee on them and it tells you if you are ovulating. It comes with a guide to help you know when to start testing. It's about £20 for five tests and a pregnancy test.

Answer 5

Just because you have your period doesn't mean that you are going to ovulate or did ovulate. Have you talked to a doctor? Before I knew that I had PCOS, my husband and I tried for close to 9 months to get prego. Of course I didn't get prego, because my periods were just breakthrough bleeding. My doctor prescribed me Metformin when we found out that I have PCOS and I got pregnant in a month and a half. My suggestion is to call your doctor and let him know that you are trying to get prego with PCOS.

Answer 6

first of all check with your doctor as if your v irregular there may be a underlying problem. Until then average it out but most women are fertile 14 days after their first day of their last period hope this helps a bit good luck

Answer 7

I'd say every other day. When i was trying for my son, we jsut went with the flow basically, no taking temps and looking at calanders, I think worrying about it etc makes it a chore. I also has messed up periods and it took me a year to get pregnant with my son, so be patient, although I don't suppose using one of those ovulation kids would hurt, pricey though!

Good luck and happy practicing! lol x

Answer 8

I have PCOS as well. I tried to get pregnant on my own for 3 years. Finally I went to a specialist, and got pregnant the first month of treatment. In the process I found out I was diabetic, and needed to be on insulin. Once that got straightened out, I took Clomid for one month, and was pregnant.

Good luck!!!

Answer 9

have you talked to your obgyn or an RE (Fertility specialist)
given that you have PCOS i believe they would give you other medications such as Clomid, to help you get pregnant,
there's a lot of info on the website below about PCOS and conceiving, and you can also ask an RE there for his opinion on your personal case.
good luck!

Answer 10

Since you have such issues with your menstrual cycle it is probably a good idea to get this issue checked out. It sounds like a symptom of poly cystic ovaries (where your ovaries do not release eggs consistently) this could cause a issue when it comes to falling pregnant. Best to talk to a specialist....don't get worried but I would suggest taking this issue serious. Good luck.
