Hi all. I'm 38, will be 39 next March. I'm currently under an NHS infertility clinic as iv'e been trying to conceive for over a year. I had a scan in August with showed a have a few ovarian cysts. The nurse said it could be PCOS as at my last blood test showed elevated levels of E2 hormone. My FSH was 5.2 in the normal range. Iv'e been having irregular periods for sometime also and they are lighter than they used to be. My GP thinks i could be in perimenopause as i had a high FSH reading a year ago, it was 20! I am somewhat confused as nobody is too sure if it is possible PCOS or perimenopause that is causing my infertility. I have children whom i had no trouble conceiving, fell pregnant in the first month of trying. My youngest is 7. I'm desperate for another child. Just wondered if anyone has had any success stories who is 35 years or above with taking Clomid ? Have you been able to get pregnant with Clomid while having PCOS or being in perimenopause ? Also, i am having trouble with vaginal dryness. Could this be a symptom of PCOS or more likely the dreaded menopause ? My doctor says that maybe the PCOS is causing the dryness. I'm so scared i'm in menopause!!!! Iv'e been told i can't have IVF on the NHS as i already have kids and i couldn't afford to go private so Clomid would be my only hope! Replies much appreciated, thanks.
