Pregnancy

I'm hoping my pcos is is resolved since we decided we want kids!!!
I went off bc 4 months go and have had pretty regular periods and did a opk and it came back positive...
I assumed that meant I was fertile but we had sex exactly like we were opposed to for 2 months and no baby
Any suggestions from what helped you?

As much as I hated hearing this, time is the only thing you can do, and get your hormone panels pulled. We used an ovulation monitor, the electronic one, temped and charted religiously for 14 months before we got a positive. So, it does happen, but it's not always when we want it. I hated hearing it, I wanted to scream at every pregnant woman, I wanted to scream at every friend that would say "Oh it'll happen when you quit trying". Nothing makes it better, and it's very draining emotionally.

We tried for 14 months before we were successful. I endured 2 chemical pregnancies in that time period, and those were devastating losses. I also should add that I did not have PCOS or any other metabolic issue that could contribute to infertility.

Your body has been through a lot. You should also have your husband have a full sperm analysis to rule out any issues in that department.

The one other thing I can recommend is that you can not strictly focus on making a baby. I became obsessed with the monitor, and only wanted to have sex when I was ovulating, and my husband said I blew our intimacy, and our sex life sucked for awhile. So, please take care of yourself and your husband while trying for a baby. My marriage suffered significantly during this time because I became obsessed, and forgot about anything other than getting pregnant.

First, RELAX! Two months is not long to be trying to get pregnant. I would continue to use the OPK's, track your basal body temperature, and maintain a good diet. Unless you are over 35, it's usually NOT recommended to do any fertility testing for a year. If you are over 35, it is 6 months.

The fact that your cycles are regular and that you had a positive OPK is a great sign that your PCOS is in remission. Coming off hormonal BC does effect your fertility for a few months.

If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask. I am a midwife and deal with this stuff all the time!

I agree that you need to relax and not worry so much since its only been two months. I know its easier said than done. I myself went through it and got pregnant the third month trying but to me felt like an eternity. I would say to put a pillow under your buttom after intercourse and stay there for a few minutes. I read somewhere it helps the sperm get to its destiny easier. I don't know if its medically true but in my case I did it just to increase the chances. Be patient and enjoy trying without worries. I wish you the best

This is what happened when my wife and I finally "gave up" trying to have a baby.  10 years after our first child, VSG for both of us in Nov. 2008, and many many pills and schedules down the drain.  Introducing Carter Everette, born 3/11/11.  I would say what others have said.  Just relax and have fun!  It will happen.
