I apologize in advance for the long post. DH and I are TTC (and have been) with no luck for a period of time and I am ready to get aggressive with my doc, just not sure where to start.
I have not *technically* been diagnosed with PCOS, however my very first OBGYN was convinced I had it and I have basically all of the symptoms, but I do seem to ovulate on my own fairly consistently. I suspect there are a few months out of the year where I do not ovulate based on my FF charts. My cycles are also fairly regular with a few really short cycles (23 days) and a few longer cycles (33 days). My LP is usually 12-13 days. In the past I was diagnosed as IR, but my primary doc has since told me that based on my A1C he no longer thinks I am.
So, DH (35) and I (31) started TTC mid-2013. I had a blighted ovum in October 2013. After that I had to have some non-related surgeries and we did not start TTC again until September 2014. I had a chemical pregnancy in February 2015. We started TTC again in April 2015 and have had no luck since then. I have had the RPL thrombotic panel and a few other tests related to gene mutation and nothing has come up as abnormal. The only thing was a 21 day test where my doc suspected low progesterone, so I am taking that after ovulation now until my period.
At this point, I am getting extremely frustrated because something is not right. I know it in my gut, but I have no official diagnosis to go on in order to be proactive and aggressive with treatments. I have my annual pap smear scheduled for 11/30 and I have to find a new doc within my practice because the doc that has seen me through the miscarriages is semi-retiring and will only be handling gynecology starting in May. So, I am looking at this as a opportunity to find a new doc in the practice (there are 11) that will be more aggressive with finding a treatment plan for me. In the past it has just been a "keep trying" mentality, but that does not seem to be working, I have no kids and I am not getting any younger.
So, I guess at this point what should I be pushing for? An official PCOS diagnosis? Clomid treatments? I know I want to push my doc harder, but I do not know what kind of tests or treatments to push for. I am just lost and frustrated and want to feel like I am doing more than "just trying" because something is not right.
