I just saw in your sig that you're TTC with PCOS, one ovary, and one tube.  I've been around off and on for years but haven't been too active in posting since we weren't TTC before now.  I do recall bits of info but was wondering if you had any advice, etc.  I recently had my right ovary and tube removed.  I know in theory this should not affect fertility but we are still concerned.  Also, not sure how to use the PM function or I probably would have went that route.  TIA!

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent surgery.  My situation is tricky since I have PCOS...while I may ovulate, my egg quality probably isn't the best b/c of PCOS...but it's improved though the fertility meds.  But having one ovary and tube shouldn't affect your chances of fertility.  Your left side takes over and you'll ovulate every month.  My left side was removed b/c of a dermoid cyst/teratoma that was the size of a grapefruit!

    I've been diagnosed with PCOS by my gynecologist (my old one) as well after the lovely 3 hr gtt & insulin levels - as well as other crazy levels that made sense later.  However, I don't have the characteristic "string of pearls" ovaries (I've had to have t/v u/s q 3 months for the last 3 years).  My right was removed due to a low malignant potential tumor recurrence.  So far all along the left hasn't shown any problems so hopefully it will stay that way.  Just anxious I suppose and always comforting in a way to know someone else who may understand a bit.

    I know that feeling...I'm here if you need to talk or if you have questions.  Are you on metformin?  I was diagnosed with PCOS based on my string of pearls appearance...as well as my wacky, irregular cycles.  I think it was triggered when I was running a lot in high school (cross country team).  I didn't have AF for almost 2 years, and I think that's what contributed it...along with other characteristics of it when I was younger.  I was nervous about TTC too, but it's comforting to know there are treatments out there to improve your chances.  I got pregnant with Evan on our first medicated cycle.  Lots of baby dust to you as you TTC.

    Thankfully for the most part I've had pretty regular cycles all along so I'm hopeful things are going well.  I was started on metformin though when I was diagnosed over a year ago - 1500mg.  It is comforting to know treatments are available and that others have been through it.  Thanks so much!
