Heavy Bleeding. Suffer From Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. How Can I Conceive?
I normally have very heavy periods, which last 10 days. I had a miscarriage last year and have been trying for a baby. I was recently diagnosed with polysistic ovaries and am awaiting an appt with a gynaecologist . My period started 5 days ago and was extremely light, very little blood, except once small piece of red clotting. This period started on day 26, instead of day 30-31. My periods are quite regular. I am 39 years old and desperate for another child. I am worried that I may be approaching the menopause

Dear user, welcome to healthcare magic.
You are right to worry because there is a decline in fertility adler the age of 35, and the decline is rapid after age 40.
I mean you should not waist time if you really want a child. You should go to someone specialized in infertility and assisted reproduction.
I suggest 3 cycles of ovulation induction with folliculometry and timing of intercourse, and if no pregnancy occurs the next step will be 3 cycles of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation followed by intrauterine insemination.
If no pregnancy occurs the next step will be invitro fertilization oc intra cytoplasmic sperm injection till you are pregnant.
I wish you getting pregnant soon and good luck.
