A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[thurl30]

Hi ladies :wave:

I'm really sorry this is a selfish post, but I'm in a hurry so will catch up properly in the next couple of days, I just wanted to let you know about my appointment today,

I have now been diagnosed with PCOS, and I also have a tilted womb . The doctor said my ovaries are ok though, and she said I did ovulate last cycle as I thought I did on CD26, she said my progesterone is fine and my lining is fine, so her overall opinion is that if I lose weight I could greatly improve my fertility, at this stage there is nothing she is prepared to give me in terms of medication other than the contraceptive pill, so healthy eating and exercise it is! Not sure about the tilted womb thing, I will need to google all about that. Oh and I had a load of EWCM earlier, I'm sure it wasn't (sorry TMI haha), so I'm really hoping for a temp rise in the next couple of days

Hope everyone is doing ok xx

With PCOS, Thurl, I would really look at being put on Clomid, combined with Metformin. That could work wonders for you. Losing weight is also a good plan, if you're somewhat overweight. The interesting thing, is that many women are overweight BECAUSE they have PCOS. The tilted womb thing isn't serious at all, and it doesn't effect your ability to become pregnant.

Thurl, I agree with Wookie. I have PCOS also and i had been on metformin, metformin plus clomid--metformin helped me lost 20lbs but i had to stop taking it because it made me sick. I would suggest maybe seeing if you can see an RE or start a clomid cycle? I used injectibles when i got pregnant with lil man. Losing weight is always good..as long as you're ready. When i got pregnant, i was not dieting..i lost the "ambition"..thus here i am!

Ambivalent--Thats great the numbers are that good. Fx this is it for you.

lexi--Wow almost there. That is sad when people have been together that long call it quits. Its exciting to be getting the baby stuff not long now.

NewToAllThis--Glad you had fun on your trip sounded great. Are you trying again now if so fx you catch that eggy this time.

Nicki--Hope everything is going good for you.

Thurl--Well thats good you have something to start on. I think there is some supplement you can take that help with pcos if the dr does not prescribe you something. GL

AFM-Still bfn. I feel like I am out even though I am either 8 dpo or 10. I know still very early. I would have felt better if I had not had that good line on that test a few days ago but since that it makes me feel like it was beginning to implant and then it stopped. Another thing my high temp started going down yesterday. This morning it was back where it was a few days after O. However I did have the ac on last night. I should get af by sun or next tues depending when I o'd either way I will test till Sat and if nothing I will wait for af.

Hi again everyone :wave:

Lady I am so sorry to hear what you are going through, I can't imagine how you must feel, but it's good to hear little Elsa is healthy and strong, and you are trying to stay positive, thinking of you hun and sending you lots of best wishes

Beach hope you're ok hun, you can join me with the temping

Nicki good to hear you are keeping positive, the healthy lifestyle will help you feel better I'm sure Wishing you all the best for your appointment tomorrow

Soop good luck with the exercise class Acupuncture sounds really good, let me know how you get on with it, I really hope it helps you

Emme sorry to hear about the pain, I hope the belt arrives quickly for you

Ambivalent good to hear your got a good result from our bloods, keeping everything crossed for you

Lexi it sounds like you are getting organised now I can't believe where the time has gone, nearly 30 weeks

NTAT pleased to hear you had a nice holiday, the jetlag from travelling to the states must be awful (I get jetlag from travelling in Europe )

Wookie and Ayclobes thanks for your messages, my Doctor doesn't want to give me anything yet and wants me to try and lose a bit of weight first which is fair enough I guess, she said I am ovulating just not as regularly as I should be so she thinks that if I lose abit then I would likely kick start things, she said my testosterone levels are normal, but it's another hormone that's back to front or something, to be honest I thought I understood everything when I was in there but then I got in the car and all I could remember was that I have PCOS

Monro hang in there hun you still have lots of time, it's still early, I have everything crossed for you

I had my thyroid checked and my Doctor said it was fine so I thought my temps might be low because I sleep with my mouth open, I don't know what else it could be

 

[monro84]

thurl--thats great about your thryoid. I have the same habit so I actually found it was beter to do temps vaginally they are more accurate and a little higher. I do the same think I think next time i will just record dr on my phone lol. Thanks I do hope I did but getting that line earlier is more discourging than getting all bfn's.

 

[thurl30]

I think I might start doing them that way for one cycle to see what the difference is, better order a new thermometor first though I am really rooting for you hun, I know it's horrible seeing that blank white space but don't give up just yet

 

[monro84]

Thanks thurl the only thing is that next month I don't think I am going to have a good shot if I am not pregnant this month. If I am early like 9dpo then I won't O till Nov 6 or later and dh is going on a hunting trip on the 3rd and will not be back till the 8th or 9th and by then it will probably be too late. If I am 11 dpo today then I definatly feel more out b/c bfn this morning however temp did go back up. But on the other hand if I O on cd 14 next month then timing might be perfect but lately O has not been on time so I guess I am screwed either way.

I hope the temping the other way will make a big difference in temping.

 

[lexi374]

Monro you're not out this month yet! Hang in there x

 

[Nicki123]

Hi Monro - sorry about the bfns, we all hate 'em. There is still time so ill keep my fx for you.

Thurl. Glad your thyroid is ok. Are you feeling ok about the PCOS thing? You've always suspected it so it probably feels good to have it confirmed in a way. From what the ladies have said there is lots that can be done to help you with ov etc which is great.

Hello everyone else.

Afm, was at hospital again today, no heartbeat as expected, just an intact sac and the CRL was measuring even smaller than before, so booked in for an erpc on Friday. I was just glad they could fit me in so quickly. Just want to move on so roll on Friday. Saw the lovely consultant who is making an appointment with me for about 6 weeks time to discuss next steps.

 

[lexi374]

Im sorry Nicki, will be thinking of you on Friday, take care of yourself and rest up over the weekend. x

 

[Sooperhans]

Monro hate that wait, hate the bfns and rooting for you all the way, I hope this is your month!!

Lexi, how are you hun?

Thurl good to have the pcos confirmed so you know and I'm with the previous comment that it can help you gain weight quickly. I hope you can keep on fighting it and that you feel ok xx

Oh Nicki I'm sorry...rest up and I hope Fri goes ok for you. It's good you have a follow up appt booked for 6 weeks' time, I hope that gives you headspace before then. I did a big old clean out today, followed suit on the therapeutic de-clutter! Take care hun xxx

 

[Emmediva]

Oh Nicki, I'm so sorry you are going through this you are in my thoughts.

Sending all TTC's tons of baby

 

[Sooperhans]

Ps will report back after 1st acu tomorrow... X

 

[monro84]

Oh nicki I know you were expecting it but it still does not mean that it hurts any less. Glad you were able to get the appt so quickly. Hope you get answers soon on whats going on and a few months you will tell us you got your answer and sticky baby. GL

Soop--Thank you, GL w/ your acu tomorrow

 

[wookie130]

Nicki, I hate that you're going through this. To go through it once is heinous, but more than once is a type of cruelty that other people cannot even begin to relate to...

 

[Nicki123]

Thanks ladies. It's lovely to know you guys are here. I am feeling ok today though, and just looking forward to getting the op over with and having a restful weekend.

Soop - glad you have embraced the decluttering. I warn you, it's addictive. I plan to do more soon. How did acu go? I have stopped going for the time being, just while I figure out if I need to spend any money on private tests etc, but I miss it and I miss the lovely acu lady too.

 

[NewToAllThis]

I caught the decluttering bug too after reading your post Nicki - I got rid of loads of stuff, feels good doesn't it

 

[wookie130]

I have a closet here at home that I'd gladly allow one of you to declutter! LOL!

 

[Nicki123]

If you pay for my flight, you're on!
