Trying to Concieve - Problems with spotting
"Hello World"
I am writing in for my wife as she sits with me hoping to hear something good. If the story is too long, move to the last three paragraphs. We got married on January 2007. Before our marriage, my wife had Laparoscopy for a cyst on her right ovary ( 29th April 2004) Finding after the operation were normal. Before this operation, her periods were irregular and after the operation her periods were regular for six months. Even till date, her period dates are irregular. Since the day we got married, my wife wanted to have kids and to support her – I did what ever it took. We went to all the doctors that we could find as a serious of phenomenal issues raised up during this period.
Due to irregular periods – we went to an ultrasound clinic to get an ultrasound to see if everything was normal: The Ultrasound revealed that Both ovaries were enlarged and they showed multiple small cysts of almost same size (5-6 mm) at their periphery. Left Ovary (11.3 ml in vol) || Right Ovary (11.3 ml in vol). There was significant amount of fluid in pouch of Douglas. We rushed to the gyne who operated her back in 2004: she told us that it was normal.
After 5 months, we visit a gynecologist (June 2007) because my wife was thinking that there is surely a problem with her– an ultrasound reveled to the doctor that her egg was prepared for ovulation and uterus was also well prepared. She asked her to go back home and have sex : -)
We again visited her in July, and she gave her the same answer.
In August, we visited her again and she gave her Clomid (Clomiphene), to eat after her next periods, so on the 29th of July she had her periods and we visited the doctor on 08.08.2007 as her 11th day of periods(advised by the doctor). The doctor said that she would conceive, but we were unable to conceive, so we repeated the Clomit medication cycle again as advised by the doctor. The doctor believed that irregular period was not a problem (It is normal for her)
She had her Next periods on 20th of September (Period cycle of 64 Days) – Taking clomid this time created a problem. On October the 14th we had to rush her to the hospital (As a small burse below her belly button appeared up with a severe pain). Unexpectedly, our gynecologist never told us about this. The situation was controlled luckily we visited the doctor after a week and she told it was hyperstimulation cause of clomid which was controlled.
After that I somehow managed to stop ourselves going to the doctor (for a few months). On 6th January 2008, I had my semen analysis, thinking it might be something wrong with me. The test results were normal except for the liquefaction time (1 hour 30 min). Note, the fist shot of my semen dropped outside the specimen collection bottle.
On 4th of February 2008, my wife had her periods, and we again visited another famous gynecologist, after doing her ultrasound, she told us that my wife has PCOs cause of abit large size ovaries. But her Hormones level came in normal (Blood Test Hormones). The doctor again told us that everything is normal – and my wife would conceive in the next 2 to 3 months. The doctor gave her dydrogesterone to eat as my wife wanted to have periods after 30 days .
Her last period was on 5th of March, which lasted for 2 to 3 days with brownish clotting (not fresh blood as she had normal flow of periods before that_. A day later she was testive positive twice in the pregnancy tester strip (HCG Tester Kit). Blood test the next day gave a negative result. My wife was heart broke and cried all week long. All pregnancy strips showed negative that day. And then yesterday Night (March 16 2008) she had some spotting after we had sex with some pain and it was red to pinkish in color and had a pinkish discharge on tissue paper when she wiped and it last for a day only and it was her 13th day of her periods.
We are very tensed if it is normal at all? My wife is very depressed and needs help. We have been searching the internet for two days now. If anyone of you can advise something to us that may help my wife relax. Why are her periods irregular – should we seek medical advice?
My Wife is not over weight. She is slim.

I don't know the answer to your questions and feel for you and your wife. I think many of us have been there wanting to have a baby and unable to conceive when we wanted to.
I was always very slim and had very irregular periods. I went through about 3 years of trying with the 3rd year involving a fertility endocronologist. I was unsucessful for all 3 years. I was diagnosed with PCOS and was told basically that my body wasn't ovulating like a normal woman therefore, I would not be able to get pregnant without the stimulation drugs that they provide. I gave up and went on birth control to regulate my cycle. I stopped taking my birth control because I had my wisdom teeth extracted and I was pregnant the next month. My gynocologist thinks that the birth control regulated my hormone levels enough to allow my body to ovulate like a normal woman would. I had a beautiful healthy little boy.
Well, my son was turning 2 and we wanted another so I went to my new gynecologist (I have since moved from the state where my son was born) and asked him to put me on birth control to regulate my cycles. I told him how I got pregnant with my son and he thought it was not going to work, but he gave me 3 months of samples. I took one months worth and bought the Clear Blue Easy Ovulation Test. (It's pricey around $250 with the test sticks) I began peeing on the sticks when the machine told me to and I ovulated and got pregnant the first month. You really need to monitor her ovulation...if in fact she is ovulating on her own.
I am very fortunate and have never needed any operations or had any complication with cysts such as those you described your wife having. But, I can relate to your frustration and depression. I thought my story was worth sharing because it has given me one little incredible miracle and another on the way. The birth control may help your wife in regards to the cysts forming or growing. I would ask your doctor what if any benefits to her going on birth control would be in regards to the cysts.
Good luck to you and your wife.
