TX: IUI #1-4 = BFN + 1 c/p
IUI #5: Clomid 100mg + Bravelle + Trigger + B2B IUIs + 800mg Progesterone = BFP!
Beta #1 (14dpiui): 460 Beta #2 (16dpiui): 998 Beta #3 (23dpiui): 21,832 Beta #4 (29dpiui): 129,771
curious if this is something that developed later in life or if it has maybe always been that way.

I thought I was ovulating fine, due to normal-looking charts, regular, 27-day cycles, etc., but I guess I wasn't ovulating strongly enough. Or something.
On lower doses of Clomid, I didn't get mature follies. So my Dx is just "ovulation issues" and I don't have any signs of PCOS (except I'm chubby 
).
FWIW, I think PCOS signs can be found in bloodwork (though it is not always found there), via ultrasound (probably the most conclusive way, but not always conclusive), and/or just from symptoms. I know this because I was concerned I had it, so we kept checking and checking.
15 treatment cycles: four early m/c
Moving forward with domestic infant adoption!
Home study approved 5/13, now just waiting...
I have been taking the Metformin for my PCOS and Synthoid for my hypothyroidism. When I was told I have PCOS I was told to eat a low carb diet and the RE I saw actually told me I could quit taking the metformin but that it wouldn't do me any harm to keep taking it. Since it seems like most the girls here are taking it I chose to keep taking it. I've been TTC for 13 months and have had 9 cycles this being my 10th. Out of those 10 cycles I've ovulated 3 times. Two of those times has been since changing my diet and losing an additional 10 pounds. I don't know for sure that the Metformin is what caused me to ovulate but I do think it played a key roll.

P/SAIF Welcome!
Unfortunately, I have always been this way. I didn't get my period for the first time until I was almost 18 and then I only had it twice total before going on BC. I have been off BC for a total of 10 months since then (not consecutive) and never once got it. It is so frustrating that my body doesn't function properly for no apparent reason but I am responding to clomid so that is good news!
TX: IUI #1-4 = BFN + 1 c/p
IUI #5: Clomid 100mg + Bravelle + Trigger + B2B IUIs + 800mg Progesterone = BFP!
Beta #1 (14dpiui): 460 Beta #2 (16dpiui): 998 Beta #3 (23dpiui): 21,832 Beta #4 (29dpiui): 129,771
thanks guys!

"Mild Ovulatory Dysfunction" was what the RE told me. I have not ovulated since going off BCP in Nov. 2010, including 3 months on clomid. He said my LH:FSH ratio looked PCOSish, but my testosterone was well with within normal limits and the ultrasound showed no cysts.
I also have hypothyroidism, but my TSH is fairly well controlled at 3.49.
B/G twins born 5/12
I have never had regular periods since i have started getting them. I went on bc with a six month period when i wasn't but went back on it. I have been ttc since may/june and still have not had a regular period to try and conceive. I don't have PCOS so as some may have troubles if they have PCOS some also have issues without it. i would talk to your doctor to see what they say. My dr said if I dont get pregnant in a year, which is common, then we will discuss other options. Until then i was told not to worry too much. (I know easier said than done)
Good luck
