r/Fertility

Hi! I am a 21 year old female and I have basically zero fertility.
I got my first period when I was 12 and I have never had a regular cycle (14-48 days) and I have always had very heavy periods and painful pain both in stomach and lower back. I have so many more issues and symptoms but the list is too long.

I take ovulation tests multiple days every cycles for the past 7 month and I have never gotten anything close to a positive. Either no second line shows up at all or it’s barely noticeable even in the light.

When I was 17 I got an implant in my arm but that only made me have very small bleeding every day for about 6 months before I could take away and put in a IUD (the one that lasts 8 years) instead. That worked for 1 year before I got a cyst that ruptured so I had to take the IUD out.

When I took that out I decided I wanted to take some hormone test to find out if I had any imbalance. I had to fight for over 7 months for my doctor to even consider taking the blood tests because she didn’t see any reason for me to take them (her Words). After the results came back she told me that my testosterone was higher then it should be and therefore said I have PCOS and recommended putting me on the pill after I have told her many many times my previous experiences with artificial hormones. She said she could prescribe a pill if I wanted to thin my hair tho, I said no to that.
We took another bloodtest to double check tho and it was slightly lower but enough for me to keep the diagnosis.

In the first results I had:
Testosterone: 2.1 nmol/L
And the second tests I had:
Testosterone 1.8 nmol/L

And that is not high at all, it’s pretty normal I have found out.
But what I wasn’t told was that my estrogen levels are at the bottom of the well. When they took the tests of testosterone they also took my estrogen. And the results was:
First time:
Estrogen: 130 pmol/L
Second time:
Estrogen: 100 pmol/L

My doctor didn’t even mention it at all.
What do I do?
I am scheduled for the yearly checkup tests in July.

I’m desperate for answers and support because no doctor will listen to me. Can I even get pregnant in the future?

Just found out I’m not ovulating? What can I do?

Long story short I’ve had very long (35-40) day cycles, and very light flow for the past 2 years now, ever since getting my copper iud removed. I knew something seemed up with the irregular periods so I decided to go to a fertility doctor.

I’m fairly new to this so please bare with me. I just saw the doctor the other day and we did some hormonal panel blood testing and a sonogram. My sonogram looked pretty normal but the bloodwork came back and it looks like I’m not ovulating, which is really scary to me. I don’t know if it’s PCOS just yet, I don’t have any of the symptoms (excessive hair, growth, etc.) but I am at the heaviest weight I’ve been in my life probably about 20 pounds over in the past two years. My dr wants to see me back in 2 weeks for more blood monitoring.

I’m not actively trying RIGHT now to get pregnant, but I’m not, not trying if that makes sense. I want to know what I can do now or what doctors can do now so when the time comes in the next year or so, I will not run into any issues hopefully. Will the dr most likely put me on medication or something to help me ovulate during my cycles? Will losing weight and changing diet and lifestyle help my body ovulate regularly?

Thank you for reading this far and sorry for the manic post lol but this is all new to me.
