My husband and I are trying to get pregnant. I have PCOS. My period is due in 5 days. I have lower back pain, cramping and sore nipples. All which can be attributed to pms. I dont wanna get my hopes up. My issue is I dont know when or if I ovulate. When should I try to concieve?
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. In PCs periods are erratic. Ovulation is very unpredictable.Hence, it is natural to be confused regarding the probable dates of ovulation. There are two ways ahead for you. First is that you remain sexually active every alternate day all through your cycle. The second option is to consult a Fertility Specialist. Go for follicular monitoring.This is serial ultrasound scans done throughout the cycle, tracking the growth of your mature egg follicles.The day of ovulation is exactly confirmed this way, so you can remain sexually active around the per ovulatory period. Many predictor tests like I sure are also available in the market, but they are not as reliable as a folliculometry. All the best and take care.
