Welllll all I can say is I wish mines were as short as urs. Don't feel bad or lose hope. I have a cycle that last anywhere from 65 to 73 days mainly every two months. Sept 4th I got a cycle (4 days in length) On the 7th it ended. I had a dry spell up until October 6th. I was tracking my CM or my Cervix position until one day on Oct 6th I noticed some white CM then I notice some clear CM that was stretchy. Me n my Hubbie BD on both days. Anyways during the two week wait I started having cramps really bad, cramps that would come in my left pelvic area thrn switch to my stomach but the lower part of my tummy. Also I started having headaches, frequent urination, hungry, nauseous, mood swings...in other things I picked up on. Basically every symptoms u could possibly get. I was getting thing I never noticed before. I was almost for certain I was pregnant bcuz during my other pregnancies I have gotten the same symptoms. Anyways about 7 days after which I know was too early I took a test....

Continue... The test was negative n had a evap line. 10 DPO I had a negative again. 12, 14, 18, 20 DPO negative. I was so lost bcuz I was almost for sure 100%. But I just washed ny hands with it. Prayed to God in said I would leave it up to him. Recently I brought Vitex... heard great things about the pills even TTC with Vitex that help women concieve (it balance ur hormones, help fix irregular cycles, menopause, pms symptoms...etc) But 4 days taking the medicine I noticed everyday I was having headaches back to back while on it. I decided to stop it bcuz I have a history if migraines in I cant bear having them for no reason or bcuz of some medicine. I read that the herb was very strong, potent. But it works... I also heard that it would subside after a few days on the pill. I guess if u want to try it to help fix ur cycle maybe u would have better luck at it then I did. Im just weak n I cant take anything extra happening to me beside my daily sicknesses. But research it in learn more

About it... The research it self is promising is will have you so excited. I said that I mite start taking them again but im iffy. I also get the side effects of any medicine I take anyways. I hope u look into it...N see if it can help u out with ur irregular cycles. Seeing that it is easier to concieve with a normal cycle. On another not: I wouldn't mind waiting with you. My cycle is due very soon. Im hoping I don't get in get a positive pregnancy test one day...lol. Anyways if your trying to concieve I wish u the best of luck n baby dust with prayers.

I was talking to someone else who isn't PCOS but doc suggested clomid for her. I use it because of PCOS and have conceived 3 out of 4 rounds. It forces you to ovulate. My cycle is 32 days (nothing to complain about!) but on clomid I ovulate on day 14 so I wonder if it would force you to ovulate earlier too? I don't know when or if I ovulated before I started taking it so I can't compare to a 32 day cycle without clomid. Might be worth a shot? BTW, good advice befruitful, Vitex is excellent. How long TTC?

@inari80 Yes my doctor did suggest we do clomid after trying naturally 3-6 months on my own because I do ovulate on my own I just may not ovulate often. I don't want to use the drugs personally so I hope something happens on its own and we have been actively trying for almost a year.

@BeFruitfulFaithful1987 Yes we can be partner's on this journey to motherhood and I've heard of that but o don't like taking anything really, I did the Fertile Aid for Women and that was okay a couple years bach and regulated me but the second time around starting this year it threw my cycle off big time I had to come off it because I was all over the place. I was supposed to start my AF Friday and its no where in site I know I didnt ovulate this month because the OPK's I had never peaked. So now is the waiting game for sure.
