Poll on periods and weight?

Question

a) normal weight

b) overweight

c) underweight

how often are your periods?

how long have you been trying to conceive?

Answer 11

My pre-pregnancy BMI was 26, I was TTC for 8 yrs without success.  I have PCOS and slight endometriosis.  My preiods have always been irregular and it appears that I don't ovulate at all naturally.

I was finally prescribed clomid to aid ovulation and I conceived straight away.  I miscarried at 5 weeks which was heartbreaking, but I was pregnant again within 3 months, again with the help of clomid.  I now have a beautiful 15 month old girl and count myself lucky.  We havn't prevented pregnancy since she was born and I am still not pregnant...
