pcos

I am hoping someone can help me.  I have been off the pill for 1 year.  I am 31 in July and have been on the pill for 13 years.  We have been trying to conc. for 1 year and have just been informed that I have PCOS on both ovaries.  My husbands sperm is normal and a high sperm count.  I also have ankolysing spondilitis (arthritis in the spine) which i think is an auto immune problem.  During the last year of trying on 3 occasions i have been sick every day and sore breasts about 1 week before my period is due.  This led us to believe that i was pregnant but then my periods start like clock work.  The Dr. says that they were not pregnancies.  But what else could it have been???  Also even though i have PCOS and low Prog on day 21 of cycle my periods over the last year are spot on every month!!!  Why is this?  Can anyone relate to this?  What would you suggest?  Also has anyone who has got pregnant got any hints or tips?

hey,
I too have pco's and have been trying for 4yrs now,
I don't get my periods every month maybe every 3 to 4 months which I'm told means i'm not ovulating!!
after I came off the pill though I experienced the sore breasts and sicky feeling (all the symptoms of being pregnant) I never seem to be able to get a doctor to explain why though!!
have recently started a herbal supp called maca read great reviews on it and also pre seed oil, only started last week so i'll keep you posted on how it goes!!
hopefully '08's a good yr for us both!!

Hello there,

They needed more bloods so still no further yet and they also want me to go for a scan after my period (which is happenin over the next  days, but hopefully not if you know what i mean) where they will put dye through my womb and tubes so dreading that but may help the gyn further. Hopefully see her very soon.
