If only I had these tests a year ago, I would have saved myself a lot of money, a lot of heartache, and a lot of tears. The results from my bloodwork showed that my LH and estrogen levels are good. However, the results from the u/s showed that I had several tiny follicles but no evidence of a mature follicle. This indicates that there is a possiblity that I did not ovulate this cycle or develop a mature ovary. Just to make sure this isn't the case, I have been scheduled to return for more bloodwork next Friday. They will measure my progesterone levels. If the reading is less than 5, it means I didn't ovulate at all. However, if it is more than 5, it means I did and we just need to do a better job of pinpointing exactly when I ovulated. When I was confirming the information with the nurse who called me back, she said that that the doctor also had a question mark next to PCOS Of course I did some research (i.e. googling) when I got home and quite honestly, I don't have any of the major symptoms which is a little reassuring but I am still scared. Women with PCOS tend to have a really difficult time getting pregnant.
Danielle brought up the idea of doing IVF with her eggs. I love the idea but seriously can we afford it? Um, probably not! But we will explore it after next Friday.

for the record, i don't think you have pcos because you would have had other signs of it.
i wonder if this is something that can be easily fixed by clomid or some other egg producing drug. i'm not sure if you were taking that already, but i was under the impression that you were doing things the all natural way.
while i hope it doesn't come to this, i am happy that dp offered up her eggs to you. i know that ivf is expensive and all that jazz too, but i hope it doesn't get to that point at all.
please don't have regret for what you did in the past - you did what you thought was right based upon the knowledge you had about yourself. we can't erase the past, but i'm sure you learned a lot about yourself, your dp and your relationship through it. if anything, i know it has made you a stronger unit.
Lisa, I now how hard this is. I was there. My periods were a little irregular, I was annovulatory because my pituitary gland was suppressing FSH. I hope you get the answers you need. You can see my annovulatory body made a baby, and even started to ovulate on its own after birth.
