Hi!

Any advice greatly recieved!

I am 25, overweight (currently dieting to be able to do IVF) I have Polycysts on my ovaries but not the hormone imbalances to go with the syndrome (eg no high testosterone), I have hypothyroidism, a range of period related complaints but no official diagnosis. Been TTC for 4 years now (with my DH) and nada - aside from a couple of 'chemical' pregnancies.

My cycle is dodgy around 50 days and we have sex twice a week. Any ideas how I can boost fertility to try and get a BFP?!

Hi, heart goes out to you.. All I can suggest is healthy diet, exercise, cut out cigarettes( if you or dh smoke) and alcohol( though think a little sometimes is ok) take pre pregnancy vitamins.. All this is for you both.. Not sure if this is an option.. But I used an ovulation prediction machine! my cycles ranged from 23-37 days!! And was useful after 2 years of ttc, as had never been 'trying' at right time! As it turned out we had unexplained infertility! however have a gorgeous dd! ... most of all throughout all the feelings of despair try and keep positive.. It helped me reading all the positive stories in here... hope this is of some help... Though am sure you are already doing all of it.. x
