Update
So it's been a long 6 months of waiting and worrying about the cyst on my remaining ovary. Long story short, in 2011 (when I was 21) I had emergency surgery due to a large 15cm cyst that had unfortunately, and very painfully, twisted. This meant that I lost my right ovary. And I was left pretty traumatised by the whole experience, resulting in two runs of therapy to move on. But that's a different story. Fast forward to Jan 2017. I have had the diagnosis of pcos since 2012 and I have had scans on a yearly basis to check the remaining ovary. My stomach was swollen, had a scan, found a 3.5cm cyst. This was very scary for me... I spent the last 6 years worrying this would happen and then it did. Fast forward again... unfortunately as I am a bit of a medical anomaly (pcos but not overweight, history of cysts that did not 'go away on their own', loss of ovary) it took docs a long time to make decisions. In April another scan showed the cyst had grown to 6cm. I had surgery on 8th of June. Miraculously, it went really well. They were able to operate using small cuts instead of a caesarean style cut AND they preserved my ovary. Which I still can't quite get over, after 6 months of worry that it was all hopeless. MY OVARY IS SAFE!!!! I should add, after a long time wttc, January was the time we had planned to start. But then the cyst was found and I was worried we were going to lose our only chance forever. So here I am, almost fully recovered. We are going to start OFFICIALLY ttc very soon, like in the next month. I can't believe it. This whole experience has scared us into knowing how important it is to us though, and now we're ready. I have a question... I came off the pill in Jan 2016 to see if I had any cycles and let my body get into a natural rhythm before trying. I have a period every month, even now, 2 weeks after surgery. I'm pretty sure I do ovulate... about 4 or 5 days after period I get pretty horny (tmi?) and have clear cm (definitely tmi) and I've always assumed that's when I ovulate. But I recently saw I thing saying that women with pcos can have anovulatory periods. How common is this? I had such hope that because my cycles were normal then maybe we wouldn't have as much trouble as I was expecting but now I'm not so sure I should let this get my hopes up? Anyway, here I am. One ovary ready to go and arms ready for a baby.
