Having been trying to conceive a girl now for a whole without success, I went to see my doctor who ran some tests and discovered I have PCOS.... I was referred to a fertility specialist on the nhs but the waiting lists are far too long so I paid for private treatment. My husband and I saw the private fertility consultant yesterday confirmed I do have PCOS by doing another but internal scan this time. The consultant has asked my husband to come back to be checked out on Tuesday, but if everything is ok with my husband s :bluesperm::pinksperm: then I will be given a pill to induce my af on Friday and then 50mg of clomid to start on cd2.

Here is my dilemia.... I only had 4 afs all last year all my cycles being more than 50days long with my af only lasting about 3 days.
My last af was 2-12-15 this time af started normally I got the usual warning signs (sore boobs) but the acutal bleeding was different, sorry tmi, this time it started sticky brown all the way through it was like EWCM, lasted for 5 days followed by 2 days of spotting. I had a smear test 2weeks later that has come back normal.
I had all the signs of ovulating over the new year, did a pg test on Thursday bfn! On my scan yesterday my womb lining was very thin, nurse said didn't look like I had ovulated and doesn't look like I would anytime soon as its too thin for implantation. Now today I got my period, what could be 8dpo cd 38, absolutely no warnings signs like I usually have(sore boobs) only stomach cramps which I have had on and off since I got stressed and lost my temper on Wednesday night. is this because I had a internal scan? or just simply a short cycle? Or could it even be a miscarriage?
Will this effect my treatment starting next week?

I suspect you might not have been Oing or having AF at all, but breakthrough bleeding. Sounds like you are having it again, it is very common with anovulatory/long cycles and is often mistaken for AF. If your AFs used to be significantly longer/heavier that especially suggests you've been BBing. It should not affect treatment, and inducing a heavier bleed is still a good idea.

Good luck on the Clomid, that should help dramatically. You may need 100mg if you weren't Oing on your own but hopefully you'll respond to 50mg.

I agree with maiden that you probably haven't had AF and may not have ovulated. Sometimes with pcos your body will gear up to ovulate but not actually go through with it.

Good luck with clomid. I conceived my first with 50mg on the first cycle after not ovulating for over 6 months. I had to take provera first to induce AF so I'm not sure if you will need that if you have an AF at the moment but you might if you are not sure it is a proper one.

Agree this sounds like breakthrough bleeding. It is still ok to start the clomid because they just looked at what is going on inside and you are at the right time of the cycle to do the Clomid. The reason why most people start it a few days after they get AF is because they know they're at the right time of the cycle, but you know this because you just had the scan. :)
