I have had ovarian cysts since I was 13. It caused me to gain weight and also I started my periods a little earlier than all the other girls.

I had 2 previous partners, one for 3 years and another for a year and didn’t get pregnant. I met my fiance in 2007 and we started TTC #1 and I fell pregnant in 4 months. After our daughter was about 1 month we decided to TTC#2 as I thought my cysts may make it harder for us to concieve.

Anyway, we have been TTC #2 for nearly 2.5 years and had no luck. We went to see GP at 18 months TTC but even though i mentioned my Ovarian cysts and my mothers fertility issues she just did a blood tests and said my hormones were ‘normal’. She told us to TTC longer and wait it out as we already have a daughter. She didn’t think my fiance’s sperm was an issue and decided not to test.

My periods are irregualr lengths and sometimes I have a short LP or a long LP of 18-20 days and sometimes it has been 14 days. I have been taking folic acid and pre-natal vitamin. I have bought some Vitamin B6 and started to drink Green Tea today to see if that helps. My fiance is also taking Zinc & Vitamin C for sperm quality. Is there anything I can do? I want my GP to check my ovaries to see if i may have poly ovaries without the hormone imbalance? But what is making my periods so irregular?

We are now moving GP’s and hope to get a second opinion. What do you ladies think? Thanks =)

I have ovarian cyst and i’m on birth control i took it when it felt like my period was coming so i would not menstruate but i had intercourse with my fiance and i’ve been having severe pain since and i started bleeding two days after or what seems to be my period.

We’ve been ttc for 6 months… I haven’t had a period for 3.
He thinks its his little men with "problems" as well as my messed up hormones (which the doctor won’t treat… he put me on the pill a couple of months ago before I start fertility treatment to regulate my hormones a bit, but he says I can’t start it til my next period, which I haven’t had).
My amazing fiance doesn’t moan about the struggle we’re having doing this, he says he loves me no matter what, but when we go out and see teenage mothers, or indeed any family with young children, I can see the hurt in his eyes, and the guilt is eating me up inside, as well as my inner hatred for myself.
I’m constantly getting cramps, but my GP just put it down to IBS and gave me pills. These cramps arise every two weeksish, but sometimes I get the odd twinge. My breasts sometimes get sore but not on a regular basis. I’m going to push the fact that I want a scan to see whether I’ve got ovarian cysts or cancer (worst case scenario), next time I go to GP, but he’ll probably just laugh it off like he usually does.
Btw, I really admire all the lovely people that have been trying for ages and never give up, you guys are the inspiration for me continuing this and not just throwing the towel in and giving up
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with my man problems over this (I’m sure it’s not his little men, his father had 5 kids no problem lol), and natural ways of ttc, and increasing chances of ovulation? I have a balanced diet… although i sometimes have too much dairy products. I’m not overweight though, and I don’t have any other major health problems, other than my lack of periods… which runs in the family… but my mother and grandmother never had periods so irregular as mine.
I’m more relaxed about it now than I was, and I’ve stopped worrying so much, but I don’t want us to suffer any more trauma over this.
Help?
