plan of action
so i have a hormone inbalance - low fsh, high lh, low progesterone. pcos
doc suggested provera and start using OPKs to see when ill start ovulating. then in 6 months when im ready to start trying, start with clomid.
sounds like a plan, now if i can just get through these 6 months without breaking down everyday, we'll be good!!!
DH doesnt want to start trying now. Im struggling with that decision because I dont want to waste any time but I dont want him to feel unprepared. i just feel like the next 6 months will be interminable.
so yeah this is my plan... for now....
 to you!

Re: plan of action
It's important for both of you to be completely on board before starting. I wanted to start trying sooner than my DH was ready, but I respected his desire to wait and as soon as he said he was ready, we started immediately.
I know 6 months feels like a long time, but try to get involved in other things. Who knows, maybe your DH will decide after 3 or 4 months that he is ready. It's really hard to put a timeframe on knowing when you will be ready to do something you currently are not ready for. How does he know he will want to wait 6 months? My DH and I decided instead of putting a timeframe on it, we would just take it one day at a time and see when we are ready to start. It's less pressure for both of you that way than saying you will start in x number of months.
Good luck!!

I had the exact same diagnosis. I also wanted to start right away because I was afraid of how long it would take and that we would have other issues. After reading things on this board, I was convinced I would have something else to complicate things. My DH was the exact same way. He wasn't quite ready to start, but we decided to go to the doctor and I was told, "it's never to early with PCOS" When we got in the car after the appointment, I joked with DH that it was like I had slipped him a $20 to say that. We decided to start then and slow with femara (like clomid). All I wanted was the same chance any other woman had. We then found out that my DH has CBAVD and literally has a zero sperm count. We found out our only option is IVF. Throughout this process I also found out I have a few thrombo issues that need to be treated. All in all, we ended up being very happy we started early because our journey is definitely not what we expected. I am certainly not trying to convince you to start earlier, but your DH might change his tune once you visit the doctor. In the end though, a few months won't make or break the situation and you will have a much better idea where you stand after you see the RE.
