Another long wait......

I have not been updating my blog for a month, solely because there is just nothing happening here. A little recap here, today is Day 48 of my cycle, my period is not here yet. I was told by Dr. Prashant that my cycle will be longer than normal ( assuming 28-35 days for normal woman, so mine will maybe take a week more than this) this month, but I just don't know how long is 'long enough'. Should I continue to wait in uncertainty or to get some Duphaston from the clinic to stimulate the arrival of my period?

Well, as a PCOS patient, I am so used to irregular cycle, and most of my cycle are basically longer than 48 days. So, actually there is nothing  unusual for me this month, isn't it? To a certain degree, the answer is yes. But, the problem is I have been experiencing quite a severe PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) since the last 2.5 weeks. The symptoms includes lower abdominal pain, very sore breasts, extremely lethargic, frequent urination, feeling cold in a 30 degree Celcius room and feeling hungry in the middle of the night (even though I already gushed down milk or milo as prevention before sleeping ). Well, does all these sound like early pregnancy symptoms? Haha, I did a test at home a week ago, and as usual there was only one line appeared. So, the odd of pregnancy is totally out.

To fight the feeling of lethargic, I brisk walked and cycled for an hour in the gym at least 4 times a week, regarless how unwilling my heart was. At least, exercise made me feel fresh for half a day, and I also wanted to shed away all the fat that accumulated from all the mid night nibbling.

Everyday, I wish my period will come in order to chase away the PMS. I also experienced a lot of thick discharge. 4 days ago, I was happy when I saw there were some blood strings among the thick discharge as I thought this was the indication of the arrival of my period. But, nothing happen until now.

Yesterday, there was a sudden sharp pain on my right ovary, that lasted for maybe 1 to 2 seconds. Well, I am afraid that this is the sign of the return of ovary cyst. 

Will make an appointment to see Dr. Prashant soon, at least to get some Duphaston, so I can 'jump out' from this grey phase! Also, if possible, to discuss the best timing to begin my 2nd IUI as I have to travel very frequent next month. So, timing is also a concern here. Finger crossed.
