Confused and stressed out!!

[babyjla]

Okay, so I have been TTC with my husband for almost two years. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, I am so distraught over it because I have a really bad case. I started my first cycle of clomid 50mg this month, and I'm not sure its working. What really makes it worse is all my friends and family that are wanting children, are getting preggo with ease. And they havent been TTC but for like 2 months when they do. I have a niece that is a year old, and I love her to death. She makes me want a child of my own more than anything in the world. I have been taking OPK's since 5 days after my last pill of clomid, which was on Oct 3rd. So I started testing on Oct 8th. At first the OPK's were seeming to get darker...but now they are getting lighter. And I never got a +++OPK. I only tested once a day around 1pm-2pm. So I guess it is possible for me to have missed my surge??? I'm just ranting. I'm so stressed and confused that this Clomid wont work for me, and the only thing I want anymore is a baby...I just dont know what to do, and I have no one to talk to. Anyone that can shed some light or maybe give some encouragement would be appreciated.

Hey hun
I didnt want to r&r. Im so sorry ur having such a tough time, and im sorry to hear about the PCOS, that must be very hard to deal with. Are ur Drs good? I see uv just joined this forum, there are lots of fantastic support threads on here, in fact ud probably be better off reposting this question in either the trying to conceive forum, or long term trying to conceive, as where uv posted is more to do with technical help with the forum i think, ul get alot more responses and help in those other forums i mentioned. Im sorry i cant be more help, i dont know much about clomid or pcos (though iv seen a lot of success stories on here to do with clomid, so fingers xd for u)- We were lucky and didnt have to ttc for very long at all, but our first month i got pregnant and had a miscarriage at around 6-7 weeks. 2 of my partners family were pregnant at the time, and i found it so very hard, so i can understand how ur feeling.

As far as the opks- i personally found if i didnt take at least 2-3 opks a day once they started getting quite dark, then i would have never got a positive opk. I could test at 9 am and it be negative, test again at 1 pm and get a definite positive, then by 6 pm be back to a definite negative, so its very possible u missed the positive opne. Do u do temping as well to confirm ur actually ovulating? And do u use Fertility Friend the website to keep track of ur cervical mucus and cervical position and cycles in general? Its very useful and its free. Personally i found opks and checking my cervical position the best ways to know when i was fertile, but i did temp as well so i knew i was ovulating.

Anyhow, ul find lots of support on here, have alook around the different forums and ul find threads that are specific for PCOS. Hope u get ur bfp soon xx

Thanks, and I have no clue how to post things in different places haha. I havent tried the temping thing or anything really besides OPK's. I have been BDing with my hubby every other day since AF left. So I'm hoping we still have a chance even if I missed it. I'm going to look into those other two you mentioned about the cervix position and tracking CM. Congrats BTW on your pregnancy. I know it must be awesome.
