Fertility
Worries
FH1991
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, so I'll briefly share my history first. One of my sisters has PCOS (in a severe form), and it turned out there was a reason why the other 4 sisters could potentially have it too. We all got tested; 3 sisters had nothing, and I had a mild case. One of my ovaries was clear, and the other was minimal.
After hearing this (1.5 years ago), I stopped the pill immediately, so I've been off it completely. From the start, I've had a regular 28-day cycle. Since last January, my husband and I have been trying to conceive, but so far, it hasn't worked out. When I put things in perspective, I know this is very normal, but I'm naturally worried given my sister's medical history (she got pregnant after 2.5 years, at six months).
Every month, I also feel a slight ovulation pain, usually for about 24 hours. Now, after this ovulation, I've had this nagging feeling on the left side for four days (I always ovulate on the left side, probably because that's the 'clear' ovary). We've had sex about 3 or 4 times during the fertile days. Could there be something wrong with the 'healthy' ovary?
Besides that, I don't have any weird symptoms, and I have a very regular cycle.
Hopefully, you can reassure me.

I’d definitely not wait too long to ask for help from your GP if it doesn’t work out on your own, especially given the diagnosis you have. They can use ultrasounds to better predict your ovulation, so you know when you’re fertile, and then you’ll also know if everything is on the right track. They can also provide you with additional support if needed. -

I didn't phrase it very well, but I didn't get the diagnosis because it was so minimal. Without the history, they wouldn't even have called it PCOS. One ovary was completely clear, and I get my period neatly every 28 days. -
