i had a scan and was told i had pcos in 2005. my periods where all over the place and sometimes had no period at all for months at a time! at the time i was trying for a baby with my ex who i was with for 5 years but had no luck then was told my eggs wasnt forming propally ! we have since split the relationship was very stressfull alot of the time and since then i have met a lovely man who has made me very happy! strangely enough when i split with my ex and got with my new partner my periods started up again and have never been so regular! i also lost a bit of weight which im sure played a big part of regulating my periods but i honestly think the stress was the main cause of my infertility!
