Sounds great sonia!! im very anxious to see your next cycle.

I woke up abruptly in middle if night last night like i was going to get sick..but didnt want to get up and go in bathroom bc no air in there and i knew i woulda got sick..so i had to lay there and aim my head towards air conditioner..then it passed...never happened to me ever..anxious to see what my temp does in am too. all evening tonight i had right ovary pains like on that bone..but im not holding my breath..since clomid i always have preg symptoms...minus that awful nausea in middle of night..

 

[jury3]

LC-Don't worry about your temp dip. Dips and spikes are normal since your hormones fluctuate throughout your cycle. I can't wait to hear how your apt goes. I'm sure your prog levels will be good

I had a slight headache today, 3rd day it's happened. It happens before clomid time though, so I don't know if it's related. No nausea last night or this evening...yay! lol Tonight was my last clomid pill, so now it's on to the wait for O...

 

[lamago]

Pdxmom, thanks. I'm feeling much better now.

Jury, yay for last day of clomid. I always like the final day bc I start feeling normal again.

I've been getting lots of ovary pains so I hope I have good lining!

 

[jury3]

lamago-Yeah, I'm very thankful for the last day! I was excited to take tonights pill and be done for a little while. Luckily I only have a minor headache right now and nothing else. I hope that ovary pain is a good sign!

 

[Mrs.LCS]

first cycle I took Clomid I was a mess.. headaches, nausea, irritable, couldn't sleep.. but it seem to go away around the 2nd cycle of it..

big temp spike today of course I tested and I don't know why..i must have felt the need to pee on something its been a bit lol.. bfn..I know I know I know...

 

[Mrs.LCS]

Awesome temp spike...dont think abt whether the cm was watery or creamy ...presence of cm itself is a very gud sign...and so much of it sure is...this is getting exciting

 

[Mrs.LCS]

just got back from meeting with the fertility doctor. basically..cant do much until we find out if i'm preg or not.. but he's pretty sure I have PCOS, i will get all the testing done and some 2 hour long glucose test?? and dh has to get sperm anaylisis done. he said my previous labs either the glucose or insulin was high..cant remember which one he said, but means pre diabetic?? and thats a big cause of birth defects..wonder if thats what happend wiht our last pregnancy..hmm.. so im a little worried if i AM pregnant this time then.. so i dont know what i really got out of this visit.. he said once he can verify pcos i'll be put on metaforim (spell?) and i should have no problem getting preg after all my hormone levels even out.. oh and that my male hormone was a little on the high side.. but he's doing all these labs again and then some..so we'll know more. i also have to have a sonohyst..went for one before but she couldnt get it in bc it was too painful for me lol.. im worried about having to pay the deductable first before they'll even do it..what is that shit about? so i dont know.. i hope im pregnant..but i hope im not since im not healthy..i dont know.. sort of bummed about it.. but didnt mention anything about iui or any of that crap.

LC-Temp spike is good! The cm could be good too! To me creamy is thicker and usually a little more whitish/yellowish. Watery is slicker, more just wet than stretchy or lotiony and is getting more clear.
Even though you can't do much right now, at least you have a plan if you aren't preggo. If you are preggo, at least you know what the issue is and you can get some help! Try to stay positive My donor's wife took a year to conceive their first daughter, she has PCOS. With the second daughter, she was on a special weight loss plan which included taking metformin and got preggo by accident! lol So, it'll be good for you

I was prescribed metformn for insulin resistance when I had my 2 hour glucose test.

Well, that's not completely true, you are on clomid. The metformin is for problems with blood sugar. So people who are pre-diabetic would take it. My friend was having problems losing weight, so they put her on it to help regulate blood sugar. Your blood sugar can effect how your body regulates hormones too, so that's why sometimes it ends up helping women get preggo.

Does what cause complications during pregnancy? By the way, my friend was overweight (like 75-100 lbs overweight), had PCOS, and was pre-diabetic when she got preggo with the first one. She was still about 50 lbs overweight when she got preggo with the 2nd one. Both of their girls are healthy and perfect. Don't let it worry you. Basically everything we do or come in contact with these days increases our chances of either having babies with birth defects or us having cancer. You can't let it stress you out! You just have to do your best to be as healthy as you can be and use your best judgement! None of us are perfect. Even the most perfect people can end up with babies with birth defects.

 

[pdxmom]

Thanks julie...yes of course im clomid...i just started to wonder whether everyone takes sth when detected with pcos other than clomid on a regular day to day basis...fortunately u answered really quick and ive not stopped wondering...hahahah

 

[Mrs.LCS]

thanks for the info ladies! pcos is a whole 'nother ball game for me..a new realm lol.. s o much that i never knew what it stood for..and to now possibly have it.. sheesh..
I believe he said to me that if im not preg this cycle that we will take a month off and get on metformin (if thats whats needed) and get my hormones straight..then try. I'm assuming its not something you can take WHILE preg??? or right now?? i left there with so much info, and was laughing at the specimen cup dh had in his hand lol.. not that its funny..but it is..i dont know..we had a good laugh about it..(immature)
im just going to try to stay calm, relax this cycle out and see what happens.. and in the meantime get my bloodwork and glucose test - which blows my mind i have to stay there for 2 hours.. ive used so much vacation time trying to conceive lol..
i'm hoping something he gives me will make it easier for me to lose weight.. and help with my body hair.. which for the longest time i blamed on being half italian lol.. he agreed that mediteranian women are more prone to pcos..
so, i'm just very interested to see what all happens over the next few weeks.. thanks for the support ladies and the advice/answers all the time.
pdx- is it weird they did not give you anything for pcos???
jury- my sister (the one that never knew she was pregnant) was about 250lbs when she went into labor..and my neice is perfect. so yea, i totally believe you.

 

[jury3]

LC-Um, we still giggle about our donor and making a donation...it involves masturbation, although perfectly normal, it gets weird when it's made public! lol I would totally be immature in that situation too lol
The metformin should help you lose weight too! I keep telling DW that she probably has PCOS...she has random hairs grow on her and has more hair than me, before we blamed it on her being from a Jewish family lol She also has long cycles.
I think relaxing is a good approach! I haven't taken off work for conceiving, but I figured up the other day that I've been spending about $100 or more a month on it. That includes bloodwork, opks, and vitamins. I definitely need to either get pregnant or cut back lol

 

[jury3]

Have they tested your blood sugar Sonia? I had mine tested at a check up with my gen practitioner before I started ttc, so I think I'm ok. I'm sure you're fine I hope AF comes soon so you can get started on that clomid again!

Dannixo-How are you doing? Where are you at in your cycle?
