Clomid club - before, during and after

hey vicky - my testosterone was high too :haha: Well, it was within normal range, but on the high side according to my FS... the units of measurement must be different for that...
Here, normal is something between 20-70... I was 65 and my doc said most women should be about 40 if they want to get pregnant :dohh:
It would be interesting if it played a roll in my weight issues.. hmm.
The doc did use my testosterone level as a reason to slap the label PCOS on me, but that might have just been for insurance purposes, not sure!
 
The units sound alot different in USA hun lol. Ive never had a problem before with testosterone and i was diagnosed with pcos at 17. took them 2 years to diagnose it. She only did the blood test cause shes testing for endromesiosis which is now looking likely that i have it cause of the levels. Im just happy to be finally getting some answers, seems like ive wasted 4 years on trying now and its all been pointless with alot of heartache. Oh well getting some were now ay xxx
 
Thanks ttcbaby...

on the bright side, its easy to stay caught up in this thread, compared to the other CC :haha:
 
Well girls test come back clear so i dont have an infection. Im at the fertility clinic next tuesday which i was going to cancel as i dont want to waist there time due to me not losing the weight they wanted me to lose. But the doctor told me not as my fertility consultant is a gyne aswel so i have to go and explain the situation to her and then she should book me in for an operation to find out whats going on. Doc said its 90% i have endo though. So basically these 4 years of trying have been a complete waste of time.... will keep you all informed when i no more.

Hope everyone is ok?? xxx
 
oh no vicky :hugs: that sux, definately go and get it sorted asap, good luck with your appointment

I have severe endo and got diagnosed 2 years ago. Its awful but I did get a BFP right after my lap surgery. It ended in a loss but at least I got bfp which is hard to achieve with endo. I hope you dont have it....because it has completely altered my life. But I do an endo diet and that helps with the endo as many foods produce estrogen which estrogen grows endo. But if you do have it...then at least you will know some answers and maybe a lap surgery will bring you even closer to a well deserved bfp.:hugs:

Thanks for that huni, doc said its 90% certain that i do have it. My testosterone levels are very high (which is one of the first signs apparently) I have pcos (which apparently comes hand in hand with endo) my periods are very bad and painful and im in alot of pain in the pelvic area etc after sex which again the doctor said its more than likely endo is causeing this.
What foods do you have to avoid hun? what sort of diet is it? I struggle to lose weight another thing the doc said could be due to endo. I just want answers, i dont care if i have it or not ill just be glad to figure out why im in so much all the time. xxx
 
:wave: girls hope your all good well i have put my decorations up woopp think i have started the street off there all putting then up haha vicky aw glad your going to get to the bottom hun xxxxxx
 
vicky - have you been screened for insulin resistance? It goes hand-in-hand with PCOS and can make it VERY hard to lose weight. The best test for it is a glucose tolerance test... where you do a fasting blood test, drink this vile liquid, then get your glucose checked at 1 hour and again at 2 hours after drinking the stuff. If you do have insulin resistance, metformin can help you get it under control enough to lose some weight, which will help the PCOS etc...

The painful periods and pain after sex definitely sound like an endo thing!
 
vick - I am so happy you are getting some answers! I think you might just be one step closer to that elusive BFP!
 
Lisa i am insulin resistant was diagnosed when i was diagnosed with pcos. been on metformin since i was 17 and had no luck with it, alls it did was regulate my periods as the insulin levels were lower. Other than that it just made me feel ill when i took them.

Roll on next tuesday.

ttc yes looks like i might be getting somewere but not sure how i feel about it anymore lol..... yes i want a baby but ive sort of put it to the back of my mind and sort of in the frame of mind of if it happens then it does if it doesnt then its just not ment to be. Been making plans for my future and im thinking of going abroad next year to study and spend abit of time with my dad in abu dhabi. Choices choices choises ay lol xxx
 
aw, sorry to hear the metformin didn't help with the weight loss... its notorious for making you sick too.
