anyone got pregnant after ovarian drilling?

[Linkerland]

Welcome cnr- I had my surgery 2 days after you. No signs of ovulation yet for me. And haven't gotten my period yet. I'll post once it comes. It will be interesting to see when each others starts since our surgery days are so close. Baby dust sent your way

Hi and welcome CNR. I'm Kyla, an a graduate of the thread. I had my OD done in December 2011, I got my BFP a few months later. I didn't ovulate on my own after the op (although I do now) but needed help from Femara aka Letrozole and my ovarian drilling baby has just turned 18months old. There are many success stories on this thread, it's a gold mine of information and although it's daunting, you'll gain a lot of positivity from reading back through the pages as ladies join the thread and then get their bfps. Wishing you very success.

Sorry for no personals girls, I am on my holiday still and don't have much time. Whoever asked about the metformin, I was on 2000mg. Also if you don't have much CM, don't worry too much, I hardly had any on my bfp cycle for some reason which is why I attribute part if the success for PreSeed.
Sending everyone lots of special baby dust

Hi guys it's me, CD 42 no af. Sigh. Just dropping a note. Baby dust to all u wonderful ladies. Love u all. Ur always in my thoughts.

 

[Linkerland]

Sasha- sorry af still hasn't arrived
Afm- cd22 since surgery. And I got my positive opk yay! Every cycle I've used opk's I've gotten a positive opk and blood test have showed no ovulation. But hoping since this is the first one since the surgery, maybe that will change. Not getting blood test till after I start af so I won't know for sure. Unless I catch the egg and don't get af which is what I'm hoping for. DF and I bd last night. So might have him save up and wait till tomorrow night to bd again. So nervous about not catching the egg if it's there. To do every other night or every night is stressful on both of us. Guess I'll just have to see how it all works out.

Sorry I have been mia lately. Very busy amd not getting time to post on bnb.

sasha, so sorry af is still missing. I think you should use either Clomid or femara to give you a fair chance every month

linker, yay for +opk. fxd a eggy gets released! !!! eod when you know you have to is very hard. fxd you catch that eggy! !!!

 

[CNR8142]

congrats linkerland for your positive opk. So happy for you that means the surgery helped you.Im currently 25 days post op, and i forgot to even test for ov. I guess i want it to be a surprise, even though it wont be a BFP. But maybe i should start testing since it seems like u Ovd late, maybe it will be the same for me. GL

 

[CNR8142]

Guess what ladies.CD1 just when i was getting ready to test with an OPK and imagine my surprise AF!!! Operation date july 15, and First AF auguest 8. So know Im wondering if id ovd or just bleeding, any thoughts on how i can find out if i Ovd.

 

[Linkerland]

Thanks cnr just took another opk. Couldn't help myself since we bd day before yesterday's positive. And are going to bd tonight. And I got another positive. So this one would be 17 hours after yesterday's. Hoping that means I'll be ovulating tonight or tomorrow. And tonight's bd will give us extra chances. My doctor told me not to worry about opk's this first cycle. But couldn't help myself. I'm not sure if there's a way for you to tell if it's random bleeding or actually af. But being on cd22 seems positive that it might be af. Hoping this surgery worked for both of us to help us get to our bfps

 

[heres_hoping]

Linker land that's great! Fingers crossed this is a real OPK and good luck.

Welcome CNR, I hope your stay here is short!

Sasha I feel your pain, I'm the same. When do you see your doc again! Can you start clomid?

Afm, turns out I did not o on cd23. Got to what ff thought was 17 dpo and still getting BFNs, so knew it wasn't a real ov I got a pos OPK on cd39 though, and temps are rising so I think this one was real! Hope so anyway! That's still a long cycle, but better than the last two.

If I did o, this may be my last chance before IVF, so fingers crossed.

Hi ladis! And welcome new girls ! Sorry for not posting anything... I m just too busy... still so sign of bfp... and from this week I started to focusnon exercises to lose so unnecessary weight.... and I did stop to worry if I ovulated I shouldnt exercise... I will leave now everything to god... and from next cycle no temp measure....

Even I m not here I m still thinking of you girls and keep my fingers crossed!! And I m still reading the thread

 

[Daisy21980]

Kyla very kindly pointed me in this direction.

Not wanting to repeat myself but here's my story;

My DH and I started ttc in August last year. I stared using clear blue advanced opks in October 2013. Blood tests in November day 5 and 27 normal.

Very quickly in December 2013 we got our BFP. Sadly I mc'd 2weeks later just before Xmas.

I then ovulated earlier than usual exactly 2 weeks post mc. Great I thought my body's back to normal straight away.....not the case. After january my system seemed to go haywire, I always use clear blue advanced digital. Some months it showed I ovulated others high fertility but no peaks, I tried temping but my temps followed the same pattern every single month including the BFP month.

. I had a 21 day blood test in April, result high lh no fsh; I'm wasnt ovulating, scans then showed pcos. I've had many issues in the past such as endermertriosis etc but I'd been scanned only 2 years before and bar a couple of cysts on my cervix they saw nothing, Also I show no signs of pcos, granted whilst on the pill my periods disappeared for a year following loop, but since coming off I've had one every 31/32 days the only symptom was the 3 stone rapid weight gain and difficult weight loss.

Any way I saw the specialist in May, he prescribed metformin straight away 1500mg per day and booked me in for ovarian drilling, repeat treatment for endermitriosis and cervical dilation due to severe stenosis caused by loop treatment.

I lost 1 stone by the time of treatment.

So I had this on 24th July 2013 day 3 of my cycle. I only bled a tiny amount for 1/2 days after.

Now I'm confused. I'm usually a 31/32 day cycle ovulating when I did, on day 17/18, with only 1-2 days of ewcm.

Post op this month I saw ewcm on day 10 started testing and got a positive opk day 12, I've continued testing since all neg but had continued ewcm, up till yesterday. I'm now 8dpo, I've got spots which I don't normally have but these came straight after the op. huge bb's and cramps. Today my nipples are super sore, I'm also up and down

I just don't know what's going on. I know everyone's different but I'm so fed up, it's been over a year. I would have been due next week and I'm driving myself nuts in this Tww.

I keep a symptom diary but bar the sore nipples and cm, every month again including the BFP month is the same. I just knew I was that month. I'm praying I am this. I guess more so as if I hadn't mc'd I would have been due any day now.

Is my body just playing games and settling or could I be pg??

Anyone else got pg before having a period post op/full cycle post ovarian drilling without meds bar metformin?



Help please

 

[Linkerland]

Welcome Daisy. Sorry to hear about all the hard times you've been going through sounds like you have all good things leading up to this cycle possibly being a bfp for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I totally understand the tww driving you crazy. I'm only on what I believe to be 2dpo since my surgery. And feel like I'm already going crazy.

 

[Linkerland]

Afm-got my positive opk cd22 which was on Thursday night at 7:30 pm. BD the night before. So waited to bd till Friday cd23. Got another positive opk that day around noon. Got a little nauseous Saturday night cd24 and felt pain in my left ovary and a pulling muscle pain on my left side of my lower stomach. Still have that pain. More like a tightness also going into my lower left back. Also have really sore boobs started Saturday and are still super sore. Hoping that means my body is producing progesterone. Meaning hopefully I ovulated. Now praying there is a fertilized egg making its way through my fallopian tubes. Guess time will tell.

 

[Linkerland]

Also forgot to add I've been getting heart burn off and on since Saturday. Wondering if maybe that's caused by a spike in progesterone. Anyone have any of these symptoms when they ovulated?

 

[Daisy21980]

Thanks Linkerland. We went to see my sister inlaw today and their 3 week old baby. We were both really happy for them, but it really hit home for both of us.

Although I've been feeling really sicky today, really bad tum and cramos, but I think that was to do with upset tum. My cm all but gone today and nipples are increasingly sore. Peeing loads!! Sorry way tmi.

I'm holding out hope and testing till Thursday. Sunday would be my due date based on 14days from pos opk assuming it was a true pos opk of course. I feel like I am and this one will be sticky. But I also don't want to be disapointed again. Each month is another kick in the teeth.

Linkerland about your heartburn. I had it so bad the month I got my BFP. But equally had touches a few other months.

 

[Linkerland]

Daisy- I totally understand the struggle of being happy for other people, and sad and upset for ourselves. Ad don't worry about tmi. I don't think it exist on this forum Let us know when you test. Excited to see what your outcome is. Hoping it's a bfp!
Afm- still have sore boobs and nips. Not as sore though. And still lower left back pain. Other then that not much. Still have a long time to go in my tww. So trying to be patient. And also trying to not get my hopes up. Been crushed way to many times. My temp dipped a little bit yesterday morning. But shot back up this morning. Not sure if I can go off Temps because I'm a mouth breather. But trying to anyway.

 

[Daisy21980]

My nipple soreness had gone today. My temps are up compared to last few months, but I just don't believe temps. I've had pulley feelings all day and earlier saw the tiniest tiniest streak of brown in my cm. I rooted around lol but no more, it's weird this month not like others but that could be the op. I'm really ratty to, bad tempered, tears. Feel like an utter loon. I feel is sure this month, but I don't want to get to high as the fall will be massive. I'm only 9dpo I tested about 4pm I don't know what possessed me, I've never tested this early of course it was negative how could it not be this early on.

Do you temp religiously?

 

[Linkerland]

I just started temping. My doctor said not to bother with it because it's old school. And often times incorrect. But I saw a lot of girls using it to help them and figured why not give it a go. So still trying to figure it out.

 

[Daisy21980]

I don't know, I just looked back over the last 9 months including my BFP and they were pretty much all the same. I'm feeling really grouchy now and have bad cramps. But it's not over until AF shows right.

Did your cycle get shorter after drilling? Mine has always been a regular 31/32 post pill except my cm month which was a 29 and this one will be 27 my lp never goes over 14 days.
