Me and my boyfriend of almost a year and six months have been trying to get pregnant for six months and nothing is happening. I went to the doctor because I don't get periods every month and I got cleared that everything is OK I don't have pcos or anything like that but I do have multiple cyst on both my ovaries. And as far charting and all that to figure out when I do ovulate is kind of hard when its never the same and I can go anywhere from three months to six months without a period but when its been six months without a period its only happened twice. And I've tired the ovulating kits and every test I've taken has been negative. I just don't know what to do beside wait and even waiting in itself is hard. Because all my friends are pregnant or either have kids. So if anyone has any helpful info or anything at all please let me know. Thanks

Have you seen an infertility specialist?

You need to work with your OB/GYN on this. I am not sure why you having multiple cysts on each ovary isn't PCOS---that's pretty much the definition of Poly-cystic ovarian Syndrome: Having multiple (poly) cysts (cystic) on your ovaries (ovarian)... syndrome. ESPECIALLY if you are not ovulating regularly (which is what causes a period).

If you aren't ovulating regularly, you need to GET ovulating regularly, or you're basically going to be going on a wing and a prayer to get pregnant.

There ARE medications that can help with this. You need to see an OB/Gyn that will help with this, or you need to see a fertility specialist.

I went to an obgyn and he said I don't have pcos and that the cyst are nothing to be worried about. And I've been thinking about calling him and seeing if I can get clomid to maybe help I was just hoping I could get pg on my own.

Without being able to track your ovulation, your chances are low of being able to get pregnant on your own.

The cysts may be nothing to worry about, but the fact that you're not ovulating regularly on top of it is concerning.

Did you tell him that you were trying to get pregnant? Did he offer tips on getting your ovulation on track?

Yea I did and he said it was either take birth control or take clomid and I said I didn't want birth control and I wasn't sure about the clomid. I have been keeping track of my periods since April I've had three the one in April was from the twenty fifth to the thirtyth. Then in July from the seventeenth to the twenty third then in September the eleventh through the fifteenth. Sorry for the tmi if it is lol

Are you tracking your BBT every day? An ovulation kit is pretty much worthless to you--you can't track it as "two weeks after your last period" like most women.

Clomid will mess with you--I won't lie. It will be like having PMS a lot of the time. I was on it for 3 years (I have PCOS).

I think you should do some research on Clomid and discuss it with your boyfriend.

AND--I hate to say this, but I really feel I have to bring it up---why a BOYFRIEND and not a HUSBAND? Why not have the legal commitment to each other if you're going to have a lifelong commitment in the form of a child anyway?

I could try that. And we plan on getting married just waiting till he's ready.

Well, if he's ready to have KIDS... why isn't he ready to get married? He's committing to you either way, but he can walk away a LOT easier if he's not married.

If I were you, I wouldn't be ready for kids until he's ready for marriage. That's part of being committed to each other.

He's ready for a child but not ready for marriage? That seems a bit off. What is it about marriage that he's not ready for, when he's ready to support and father a child? Makes no sense.

Plans change, a child is forever.

Yea I know well he has a ring he's paying for at my work and it's an engagement ring I'm just not suppose to know but I do
