By Elaine I found out I had PCOS when I was about 17 - I had really irregular periods - they could be as far apart as 18 - 24 months apart ... anyway as soon as I got married in October 1997 we knew we wanted to have a family ... hadn't been using any protection for quite a while before we got married ... so I went to my GP who referred me to a consultant - I was booked in for a laparoscopy in March 98 which confirmed my PCOS and that everything else appeared to be ok - my DH also had the usual test done - I was prescribed 50mg of clomid in May 98 and amazingly got a BFP from my June cycle (2nd cycle) - by the time we were due to go back for my DH's result I was pregnant so there was no need to go back. My pregnancy went really smoothly and Callum was born at 38 weeks and was delivered naturally -- I needed a few stitches but apart from that everything went really easily ... if you need to know more about my actual labour let me know as I've assumed you want to know more about the ttc side of it. Shortly after Callum's first birthday in July 2000 we decided we'd try for another baby ... kinda expecting it to happen just as quickly again ... On one of our first visits back to the hospital my DH had to provide another SA and we found out that he had low motility sperm - it transpires that it was the same first time around but we very luckily got a BFP so never found out and didn't have to worry about it. Can't remember the exact number but it really was low and we were told that we should think of DS#1 as a miracle .. thanks!!! Over the next couple of years we had another 11 cycles of clomid - this time having to increase my dosage all the way up to 150mg but unfortunately never achieved a BFP - we also had one go at IUI but my DH's motility was so low that they decided not to offer any further IUIs. We were told that our only option would be to have ICSI and that we would not have another baby without going down this line. We were kinda shell shocked for a while but after about a year I went to see a new consultant (as we have moved house) he again reiterated much of what my previous consultant had said and commented that it was highly unlikely that we would get pregnant again without ICSI - we went away with a view to me losing some weight and coming back to see my consultant again in December to discuss ICSI in more depth ... I asked my consultant if there was any way I could find out if I did actually ovulate - although my periods were still very irregular I wanted to know if I did ever ovulate or not .. my consultant suggested that I contact my GP's surgery when I had my next period and went for day 21 bloods and then keep going weekly until i had another period - I had an appointment with my consultant at the beginning of September and the day of my appointment my GP surgery phoned to let me know that my bloods from the previous week showed that I had ovulated (whoopee!!!) anyway it turns out when I went to see my consultant I was actually pregnant but I didn't know it -- I commented to a few close friends that my boobs seemed to have grown and only because I knew I had ovulated I did a pregnancy test and nearly died (literally!!!) when it came up positive. I contacted my consultant who gave me an early scan a 7 weeks - he commented that I was the reason he never says "never" to anyone - he oftens says highly unlikely but not never. Coupled with my PCOS and my DH's low motility we have no idea how our little miracles got here - even when they got me to ovulate with clomid and then when I ovulated on my own my DH's motility was so low we were told our only options was ICSI. Gregor arrived at 40+2 after an induction - he was brow presentation and I ended up having to have an emergency c-section ..
