Advice Needed Does anyone have any tips for 100% anovulatory pcos? I don't think I've ever ovulated in my life without meds

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm looking for advice for my situation. We are doing medicated cycles and are taking a break for a few months if this cycle is unsuccessful and looking for advice for what to do while we take a break. I'd give anything to be able to try naturally while we take our break from treatments. At this point, I've just about given up on being able to have a cycle at all but wanted to just try one last time to see if anyone has advice!

I've been TTC for almost a year and got diagnosed with pcos this year but have had symptoms & problems for 15 years. I'm currently on my 3rd medicated cycle, which has been successful with making me ovulate but no success with pregnancy yet. Without meds, it's like I don't have a functioning reproductive system at all. I have an extremely high AMH of 28 ng/ml. Ovaries blocked with follicles. I don't have periods, ever. I don't ovulate, ever. I didn't appear to ovulate in my life until my medicated cycles this year.

I'm currently taking inositol 4000mg daily. I was on it for about 5 months without any luck regarding my periods or ovulation. I know they say give it 6 months but I began medicated cycles at 6 months, so idk if it worked. And then all of my metabolic markers are normal. My hormonal bloodwork is normal outside of my AMH and my LH is 1.8x higher than my FSH. I strength train and eat as well as I can. So I guess I'm just not really sure what else to do. Nothing I seem to do makes any difference.

TIA!

Advice Needed Am I Ovulating? Low Progesterone but Rising Oura Temperatures

0 Upvotes

I’m 33F with PCOS and currently TTC. My last two cycles have been regular (29 days).
I’m currently on CD22. I had my progesterone tested on CD21, and it came back at just **1.3 nmol/L**, which seems very low for the luteal phase.
However, my Oura temperatures have been rising for the past two days (+0.1°C and +0.2°C), and today Oura flagged “Major Signs of Strain” despite me feeling completely normal.
I’m confused about whether I’ve already ovulated, might be ovulating late, or haven’t ovulated at all.
**Has anyone experienced low progesterone around CD21 but confirmed ovulation later? Can temperatures rise even if ovulation hasn’t happened?**
Would really appreciate hearing your experiences, especially from anyone with PCOS!

Seeking Success Letrozole success stories please

As the title says: please comment your successes with Letrozole!

28F with lean PCOS TTC for 6 months. Did a paid referral to a fertility clinic and now have NHS funded treatment. Waiting for my Provera and Letrozole prescription to come through. My first cycle will be monitored with timed intercourse (husband semen analysis was normal - just slightly high viscosity).

I've gone down a rabbit hole of looking at success rates and spiralled into thinking there's a massive chance it doesn't work and after 6 cycles I'm going to be put on an IVF waiting list.

I take 4000mg inositol (in the correct ratio) alongside fish oil, magnesium glycinate and prenatal supplements. Also doing carb pairing, 8k steps daily and post-meal walks. This foundation hasn't helped me ovulate regularly but hoping it will help letrozole success
