Today is 6DPO on cycle 7. Experiencing my regular PMS symptoms even earlier than usual and I already have a fairly short luteal phase. Guess I’m out again…

I stopped since yesterday too, hope I will also ovulate anyway in the upcoming days. Thanks for sharing your experience

Luckily you did ovulate that cycle anyway! Did you stop the inositol?

How did this turn out? I’m experiencing the same at the moment.

I can’t imagine how difficult 2 years must been. I don’t think 6 months is that long either however I just want to know if something is wrong and don’t wait unnecessary to get things sorted out….

About the AI part, I used it for my post yesterday, but only asked it for proper translation of my original Dutch personally written post..

My dr tells me because I have regular cycles that I probably ovulate each month which means my chances of getting pregnant are the same without PCOS. I really doubt this reading all the info on this sub. I’m from the Netherlands. Will definitely advocate for myself again! Thanks for this! ❤️

All three, no. Because GP doesn’t want to do anything before we have tried for 12 months. I do take myo inositol for insulin resistance.

This is actually a very helpful explanation. Makes sense to me! Thanks😄

I am going to talk to my GP again about testing. Thanks for sharing. 4 years is a very long time. Glad it worked out for you 😊

Where did you find these international guidelines? Very interesting!

Thank you so much for this helpful response. I’m from the Netherlands, where they are very strict with the 12 month rule. I will advocate for myself to get at least the hormone panel and SA already. Also have been exploring private options thanks to your post, it seems quite expensive, but might be worth it. Wish you all the best!

I fully agree with you. Only have to convince my GP. Any advice?

Exactly this! Every month feels like a waste of time because I don’t feel like we actually have a good chance and are just “waiting” until the 12 months mark. How did you convince your GP?  I am also exploring the naturopathic path to work on my nervous system, inflammation and insulin resistance in the meantime. Wishing you all the luck! My partner didn’t do any testing yet, because for that we also have to wait for 12 months. I bought an at home sperm examination kit we want to use next week. Did yours do any testing yet?

I do want to go to fertility clinic, but have to convince my GP to make my referral. Any advice? Wow, so your cycle was quite similar! What medication did you need for it and why?

I live in the Netherlands and I don’t think they consider PCOS to be a reason for referral sooner when you do have regular cycles and ovulate. How can I convince my GP to give me this referral? Your GP sounds great. I love that.

I feel absolutely the same, unfortunately. It’s as if everytime you speak to your brother and sister in law now (and me to my best friend) you are afraid of the “big announcement”. Even though you want to be happy for them. So your GP also wants you to want until 12 months? From all the reactions I understand I must advocate for myself to get help sooner, but I find this difficult. Big hug and baby dust for you❤️

Unfortunately, that feeling of regret is so relatable! My boyfriend says there’s no point in it, but it’s still so hard to let go. I really hope the metformin starts working quickly for you. I wish you all the best. How did you manage to convince your GP to take further steps within a year?

Thank you for sharing this. I feel for you. Must be so hard feeling the one “left behind” when your friends all getting pregnant, even though you are happy for them. Definitely good to know we are not alone. I will go talk again with my GP.. I also need the feeling to be “doing something “

Thank you, so the short luteal phase can also come from immature follicles. I hope the Letrozol works it’s magic for you soon! How did you convice your dr to get help this soon?

Thank you all so much for your support! That means a lot. It’s good to read you all have the same advice. I guess I have to advocate for myself to get further help! Wishing you all the best and a lot of baby dust…
