I'm really struggling to understand why I'm not getting pregnant after trying for the last 6 months. I've already got a 6-year-old son and was told I have PCOS. Since December 2015, my periods have been delayed by 2 to 3 months, and even though all my test reports came back normal, I haven't been able to conceive. Last cycle, I did follicular monitoring, and my egg ruptured, but I'm still not having any success. What else could be going on, and what should I try next?

It's understandable that trying to conceive with PCOS can be challenging, especially when your periods are irregular. Since your follicular monitoring showed a ruptured egg, it indicates ovulation is happening, but there might be other factors influencing conception. Continue working closely with your fertility specialist for the best approach moving forward.

I'm really worried about my thyroid test results. My TSH is at 2.5 and T3 is at 1.5, but my T4 level is pretty high at 17.2. Does this mean there might be a problem with conceiving?

I understand your concern for your mother's recurring mouth ulcers. Considering her condition, it's essential to consult a specialist, such as an oral pathologist or an oral medicine expert. Possible underlying causes: - Autoimmune disorders (e.g., lichen planus) - Nutritional deficiencies (e.g., vitamin B12) - Chronic stress - Hormonal imbalances Advanced treatments: - Biopsy to determine the underlying cause - Immunosuppressive medications - Laser therapy - Natural remedies like aloe vera, turmeric, or coconut oil Don't lose hope; a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan can help manage her condition.
