How come they'll only left you try 2 months? x

i have PCOS so my periods are rare and far between that along with the diabetes and high blood pressure she thought that if in two tries nothing happened then i needed to see a specialist

so instead of wasting a cycle we thought to wait and let me lose the weight and then try another time before we pay a crap load to a dr, and who knows i have read that women who lose weight usually begin to have periods on their own last year i had lost 15lbs and was put on metformin and i got a BFP (ectopic)but gained all of it back and now am down 14 lbs and on clomid so am hoping the odds are good if not i am going to concetrate on losing the weight and then ttc again

 

[charlie00134]

They putting you back on Metformin? It helped me to lose weight too. My periods are irregular too but I get norethisterone in order to help. My first 2 cycles of clomid did nothing, 3rd i ov'd, 4th nothing

i have been on metformin for over a year but last month a began this new diet and changed everything that i eat i was taking the metformin but now my sugars got to low so i had to stop taking it

but my dr had told me that as soon as i got a BFP i would have to be off of it anyway so she didn't say anything about getting back on it

 

[charlie00134]

I was always told I could take it once pregnant. Weird!

 

[Lucy529]

i know my previous dr who is on mat leave had told me that i could be on it that it was safe but this one said no that i would need to stop once i got a bfp and all other diabetic meds that i would only be on insulin which i was injecting every time i ate and now nothing so am hoping that if i get a BFP i can keep on with what am eating and just add a little more fruits and veggies but try to keep my sugars in control

 

[charlie00134]

FC it works for you hunni, it can't be easy =( x

 

[Lucy529]

I really hope that we all get our BFPs in the next couple of days but i think that am prepared if it doesn't happen at least part of my mind is the other part is having a field day thinking off all the wonderful things i could buy LOL crazy i tell ya this jurney makes you reallly crazy lol

 

[charlie00134]

I was already pretty crazy already lol
fair few days left until test time for me!

 

[Lucy529]

I try to act rational but when i actually feel that i did o and i know that am close to knowing what happens nexts all rationality goes out the door it's like a awitch is turned on it my head and all i do is ss

if my calculations are right then we are going to be testing at the same time are you going to test early or wait until af is late tbh am an early tester and might begin early maybe sunday or monday LOL am impatient too

 

[charlie00134]

I try not to test early because I just keep getting dissapointed and then hopeful again. Going to try hold out until the 1st Dec. Bet I cave earlier though lol x

 

[Lucy529]

you see your not crazy LOL that is rational thinking but i get it i always say that am going to wait until i know that i can get a bfp or bfn for sure but then i cave and get a test but since i have a drs apt on the 28 i am going to test that morning and hope that its a bfp so that i can get betas done that morning and then again friday just to make sure that the numbers are doubling but thats wishful thinking if i get a bfn i guess am going to have to wait or get a blood test done with my dr so we shall see

we should be 12 dpo by then so maybe something will show up FX

 

[charlie00134]

Oooh I hope it's a BFP to show your doctor! My next appointment isn't until January unless I get my BFP before then =(

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks for the warm thoughts Lucy!! I have my FX for you in your TWW as well. I hope that your time flies by!!

Smiler - I am beginning to wonder if maybe I have my dpo wrong as usually I have some breast tenderness by now, but nothing? I am tempted to test early, but I won't do that and will hold out till Wed! I have already ordered a refill for clomid and progesterone for the beginning of next cycle, so I am all ready to go, hehe.

Oh sorry you are confused Starlight... Are you temping, have your temps done anything unusual? I hope that if you usually get breast tenderness by now but not this time, then a switch from your norm is hopefully a good thing! Weds is only a day away

Thanks Smiler! I was just looking back at a calendar and I think that I was a day off, so I believe that today is 12dpo, so will wait will Thursday to test! I admittedly caved and used a cheapy test yesterday and it was a BFN, but I wasn't too surprised about that and I know that it is early! I was thinking that maybe no tenderness was a good sign, but trying not to get my hopes up, hahah. I haven't been temping, so I don't have too much to go on...will keep you posted!!

 

[Smiler82]

Oh that is so cruel making me wait til Thursday, lol 11 dpo is still quite early to test, my usual start point for testing is 12 dpo

 

[Lucy529]

you ladies are talking about testing 11 or 12 dpod and here i am working it out so that i can test starting at 8dpo lol
had a little panick attack last night when i counted how many tests i have i have 6 cheapies and 3 frer but am holding on to those frer til next week and so i told my hubby oh no i need more test and i can't get to the store til sat he looks at me all puzzled and goes why? you only need one? i guess he doesn't know how crazy I really am LOL

 

[charlie00134]

I have a few but no good ones. I'll buy one when AF doesn't turn up. I think I'm going to try so hard to wait until 14dpo.
Men don't get it, not sure how they would though

 

[Lucy529]

charlie we are the same dpo according to ff but i highly doubt am going to be waiting until then to test LOL am impatient and might start sooner i have some opks i can use up might as well they are just sitting around i read that you can get a pos if ur preg so i might feed my addiction that way LOL but i know that it is not reliable

 

[charlie00134]

I've just been having the OPK as HPT convo elsewhere. Takes longer to go pos than a normal HPT. You should commit to an earliest POAS date and stick to it, might keep you going longer lol x x
