Do you track?
We try and DTD as much as possible! Ive even tried headstands lol!
Aww thats good if ur getting help!
My first Dr I went to wouldnt even test! So I tried my old one they seem to all think I have to wait so long and see if it happens naturally first!
I hoped that with these results I would get help? Is your OH getting tested? Mine needs testing first to see if there are problems on both sides first!
I think he was just pointing out that it helps my acne and makes my periods turn up every month! Otherwise ive been on and off pills and switched for years but ive always been irregular when not on the pill since I started my periods! Which is why I knew something was wrong!
Im going to see how my OHs test goes and the results and my smear results again! Then take it from there! See if he does anything else to help me?
xox

Getting OPK's and tracking it is a good idea...I just started this month and the doc said that she suspected PCOS, it was CD 17 and I hadnt ovulated so she said that maybe I am not....

...Yes, maybe he wants the evil witch to be on track first which would eventually help with your acne too and avoid antibiotics as they can definitely harm the foetus...!! DH also needs to be tested which he is not very comfortable with it, will have him tested somehow next week, fingers crossed..!!!

I know mine isnt so keen either he said he is only doing it for me coz I worry im sure he will be fine but its a male pride thing!
I think thats the worst worrying if u havent ovulated or not!

absolutely....wish we would be signalled about when we ovulate and when we are pregnant cause awaiting these two is a killer...

Ur deffo right there! Esp the ovulating one if only there was a simple test so you knew!

May I join? I am in a similar situation. 22 y/o, diagnosed with PCOS 6 months ago. Everything is perfect with my DH, his SA came back normal with some strong little swimmers

Now if we could only get them to reach the egg and stick there!
The metformin im on has helped me get my periods back, and it looks like my first round of Clomid helped me ovulate because it resulted in a "chemical pregnancy". It was such a heart break to know that I was so close to my BFP! But, I'm staying optimistic. Nice to meet you, ladies! Sticky little beans to all on this forum!! :]

Yes of course ur welcome to join in the more the merrier we can all try and support and help each other! I'm glad to hear that your OH is okay at least that's one good thing! How were you diagnosed? How long have u been TTC? I'm sorry to hear about your loss! Nice to meet you as well! Sending lots of love and baby dust hopefully it will be our cycles soon and we will get our bfps! xox

I was diagnosed six months ago. When I was in Iraq, I went on the depo shot simply because I didnt want to have a period while I was there. Welp, I never got them back when I came off of it. After lots of tests I was diagnosed with PCOS and anovulation. I started the metformin at 1700 mg per day, and that helped me get a 45 day cycle back (better than nothing I suppose). Right before my first round of clomid I had my first chemical pregnancy and then last month I experienced my second. It was heartbreaking, but I am trying to stay positive! At least I can get pregnant, right?? So my RE bumped me up to 100 mg this month and today is CD 4, day 2 of Clomid. Fingers and toes crossed, prayers are said...not just for me but for you girls too!!

Faith n Hope · Apr 8th, 2012, 12:21 PM

Are you in the forces then? I'm so sorry to hear about your losses they must have been heartbreaking! I'm sending you lots of love and baby dust! Has the medication been worthwhile for you so far? Are you ovulating now? I'm not sure if I am? Its hard going thru the tests esp when the results aren't what u wanna hear! But we are here to be buddies and support you! Where are you at in your cycle now?

Faith n Hope · Apr 8th, 2012, 12:22 PM

Sorry I'm on my phone at the moment and the screens small I've just realised you said ur on CD4! Do u know what day ur due to ovulate and when you are due now? Long irregular cycles are the worst! xox
BABY DUST!

ashley.sch · Apr 8th, 2012, 12:40 PM

I am due to ovulate on or around the 19th of this month. I did ovulate last month, I believe on CD 16...so there is still hope! It seems that my issue hasnt been getting pregnant, but staying that way. So we are praying for a very sticky little bean this month.
And yes, my hubby and I are both medics in the Army. We met in Iraq 3 years ago and we were just married on St Patricks Day last month. We are SO ready to have a little one! Nick has been great throughout this whole process.... he did the SA and is always very patient with my crazy emotions and strict BD schedule lol. Im a lucky lady to have him. Now all we need is a baby to make our family complete. fingers crossed!
