Question: My periods are usually every 24-26 days I am currently on day 31 and still no sign.
I am trying to get pregnant but tests are negative. Do you see a possibility of me being pregnant still or should I give up on that idea?

I really hope you can help me. Let me start from the beginning I am 40 years of age, never used any kind of contraception and have never been pregnant. I was never sexually active until I was 26 years of age and then it would only be maybe 3 times a year. We have been more sexually active the past 6 months about twice a week. I have only ever had one partner and that is my current husband.

I got married in July 2012 and we decided we wanted to try for a baby. We have never been consistent with intercourse.

I really want to conceive naturally, do you really see this can happen for us? I am overweight. My husband has 20 cigarettes a day and drinks within the alcoholic guidelines (lager or bitter). My husband has now stopped smoking and cut down alcohol.

I have been to see fertility specialist. She suspects I have polycystic ovaries and hence do not ovulate. I have had vaginal swabs and an internal examination today. (Everything has come back normal). Ultrasound scan is also normal. Blood results are as follows: Estrogen 115, LH 1.7, FSH 7.1

Husband semen analysis is also good. With a 5% morphology which specialist says has to be above 4%

My bmi is 45 and she wants it down to 30 before commencing any type of treatment which she said will probably be tablets to make me ovulate. I have currently lost 8lb.

I am worried if I don't lose weight I will never get pregnant. Clearblue fertility monitor in the past has shown ovulation and some months no ovulation do you think I could keep try to use this.

If I lose weight can I reverse things naturally and start to ovulate?

I usually have a regular bleeding pattern 24-28 day cycles. Never have pain or any kind of problem. But my bleeding cycle this year has been very erratic and I am worried sick why. Bleeding pattern this year has been:

SEPTEMBER 2015
4th September – 8th September (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 11th August – 3rd September = 24 days

SEPTEMBER 2015
30th September – 4th October (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 4th September – 29th September = 26 days

OCTOBER 2015
23rd October – 27th October (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 30th September – 22nd October = 23 days

NO PERIOD SINCE 27TH OCTOBER – CURRENTLY ON DAY 31 OF CYCLE


1.     Am I Pregnant or are there chances?
2.     Are my bloods normal?
3.     Do you agree the fertility monitor is a good diagnosis for ovulating?
4.     Do you see I can conceive naturally?
5.     Any suggestions please to help me achieve what I really want.
6.     Am I stressing out too much?
7.     HSG was requested but I can’t have due to anaphylaxis to Iodine, is there any other way of telling if my tubes are blocked please?
8.     Do I need my tubes checked? Fertility Specialist says I dont




If Clearblue fertility monitor shows 3 bars do I:
1.     Ovulate
2.     Release an egg
3.     Should I conceive naturally

Another thing that confuses me is Fertility Monitor shows Ovulation, but Ovulation strips do not. I think I am getting myself into a Frenzy and should just use the Fertility Monitor and forget ovulation test strips. What are your thoughts please?

All Day 21 Progesterone blood tests come back less than 1. Will I ever conceive or is this because my cycle is 24-26 days? I am worried and crying that I will never be a Mum. My Fertility Specialist is not worried and just stays I need to lose weight. Please help. Do I need to worry about my Day 21?

My Fertility Specialist says I am not conceiving as I need to have sex more than 3 times a week.
