Dacy is a patient I’ve known for many years.
I first met her at 27 years of age after she’d tried to conceive for 12 months.
She stopped the contraceptive pill and found her periods to occur only every 4 months.

I saw Megan today for review in my fertility clinic. Megan and her partner John have been trying to conceive with PCOS for the past 3 years.
She has very infrequent menstrual cycles and only has a period about once a year… So to help her get pregnant with PCOS she required fertility treatment to induce ovulation.
I saw Karen today in my fertility clinic.
She is a 32 year old woman whom I had diagnosed as having PCOS after stopping the contraceptive pill to conceive, and not having had a menstrual cycle for 10 months.
For all you women with PCOS this lack of a menstrual cycle indicates no ovulation of an egg…. and is the main reason for not getting pregnant with PCOS.
Q/ Greetings of the day doctor!!
I am 31 Years old, 3 years of marriage and now planning to get pregnant,
but having problem since last 6-7 months.
I have been having PCOS, and trying to get pregnant for last 6 months. My periods are irregular and last time i had my periods was 10th Feb 2011.
I went to my gynae, and she has given me medicine to get periods, and has suggested me to come on the second day of my period, as she suggested me to get pregnant by injecting ovulation. Kindly suggest is it safe??
I want to talk to you about Josie who by the way is pregnant and well now after her fertility treatment, but she did develop two known problems as a consequence of her fertility treatment.
Josie is a 29 year old university student with PCOS who had been trying to conceive for 18 months before I saw her in my clinic. We tried to help her to conceive through the fertility treatment of ovulation induction with the hormone tablet Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid), but no ovulation occurred despite increasing the tablet dose up to 150 mg of Clomid.
In fertility talk we call this having “Clomid resistance”.
