Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

Forums New posts
Hi everyone, I'm still about and still not pregnant. I saw the doctor today and will be starting metformin at 500mg, I am also seeing the gyno tomorrow and I expect to start clomid soon..
I have gained back 5 kilos of the 15 that I lost last year so I am going to have to get back on top of the weight thing, the doc thinks that metformin may also help with weight control.
 
I think we can let you have one woeful day but tomorrow .......... ;)
It's so easy to get caught up with dates, I think it's all the waiting that's involved in every single step of this frustrating ttc business. I think it was Squeegs that has said about this but I'm really trying to focus on the things I can control. I can control my health, eating well and exercise. I can control all the things I'm filling my time with to stay positive. I can't control dates and when things will happen so I have to accept that. I used to hate New Year but have learnt to see it as just another day and the older I get I try and do the same with birthdays - easier said then done but I reckon if I tell myself enough times ;)
It is funny to use our secret names :) Hope work got a bit more exciting Cossie.
I've stalked your charts Abby - they do vary but also hold a good overall pattern - you are well in touch with your signs. I have only got a thermometer that does one decimal place and so try to concentrate on the trends rather than the actuals - does that make sense? I think it's taught me to listen to my body more than trusting ff!
I took my chart off after being told not to try again until getting the ok from the specialist. Once we are ttc again I'll pop it back up - hopefully more answers on Monday.
Abby - enjoy your chocolate tonight, I think it may be a wine night at mine tonight and I will raise a glass to my bump buddy to be xxx
 
Ha ha I'm so dippy - I just missed my train stop by 3 stops chatting to you girls!!
Taralyn - fingers crossed the metformin and clomid do their job :)
 
I'd love a wine night, but I'm on a thing where Dh and i don't drink in the week...thanks though, good tip about what is in and out of my control! Xo

Nice to see you about Tara! Hope the clomid helps! Let us know how your appointment goes
 
I didn't get to the appointment, the gyno was sick and had to cancel! I am going to ring to make another appointment next week. I'm hoping we will get in in time for next cycle.
 
I did try and get a referral for someone else but they are all very busy. I'm starting the metformin now so who knows? Maybe I won't even need him. I got a bit down and had a little panic about it all and had to pull back and stop obsessing for a while. I am trying to be more relaxed about it now.
 
Excuse my ignorance, what does metforim do? When do u take it in your cycle?
 
metformin is usually used to treat type 2 diabetes, which I don't have. But It is starting to be used for women with PCOS because it sometimes helps restore ovulation, it also has a high success rate when used in tandem with clomid.
I'm still researching it but as far as I can tell the docs are not totally sure why it works. It also regulates insulin and women with PCOS often have trouble with insulin resistance. It sometimes helps with weightloss too.

Sounds great then! Sandra Cabot has written a good book on insulin resistance called syndrome x. Has some good food tips if you were interested!
 
woohooo, just got my first + opk, I really thought I was having another non o month. No fertile CM though.... I'm hoping it will work and I won't have to go to my fertility specialist app.
 
Excellent Tara. So at least you are ovulating sometimes. Seeing the FS is still a good idea if you are not ovulating regularly though.
 
Excellent Tara , just watch out for a temp shift, I've had positive opks and not ovulated before, or ovulated quite a few days later ( I might just be weird though)

How are you going Maddy? Have you thought about acupuncture? I've heard it's great when you are going through Ivf , increases the success rate etc
 
Thanks Lainey! I never 100% trust them, but all other signs seem to match up
 
Good luck Tara and Abby - both your charts look great!
 
Thanks Ginny, my cycles have been all over the shop lately so its nice to have a more normal one, one of my cycles AF arrived days after my +OPK! I am feeling good this month, trying to keep from getting my hopes up too much but I am happy to have a normal one. I am also back in the temping game so I can have a clear picture if I start clomid next time round.
