I was trying to think how to word my post but this one just about sums up what I wanted to say. Please don't be offended but I can tell from your photo that you're a 'larger' lady - I'm one too so please don't take it the wrong way - and this can be one of the major indicators for PCOS. Especially if you have problems losing weight. Other symptoms include irregular mestruation, facial hair growth and acne. If you have any of these other problems then I'd request a blood test and ultrasound which helps with this diagnosis.
I agree completely--it's what I thought as well, especially when the OP said her charts never showed any kind of pattern (very typical for PCOS). PCOS is much more prevalent than most people think and it would be the very first thing I would suspect with a larger lady (which I am too!) who is having trouble conceiving.
Even if you don't pursue having a baby right now, getting PCOS under control is really important if it's an issue. Along with the fertility issues, a woman with PCOS is at a much higher risk of diabetes, heart problems, and certain cancers.
Good luck, OP. I hope the visit is helpful and the doctor is supportive.
