[AmberDaisyDoo]

It could still happen Muffin! FX for you!!!

Amber- if you don't mind me asking, what did you have removed for pcos? My sister has pcos and I am just curious. She hasn't actively started ttc but hasn't been preventing for over two years and nothing yet.

I got a contraceptive progesterone implant placed in my arm. A couple of months later I noticed some hairs around my nipple that I'd never had before. I didn't think much of it and plucked them out.

I had that in for 18 months and swung between late periods to longer periods spotting and abdo pain. So I had that one out as I kept thinking I was pregnant and it drove me wild. We decided to have a baby but then I got into uni so a few months later I had another one put in.

This is when it got bad. My periods stopped completely and I was in agony all the time, I started getting hairs on my chin and nipples and gained weight, I started getting high sugar symptoms like sores under my armpits and in my groin and under my boobs. Then I had bloods taken and had elevated testosterone so they sent me for a scan on my ovaries. They were very large and very cystic. They diagnosed me with PCOS. I then started bleeding dysfunctionally once for 40 days! I was put on blood clotting meds and became folate and b12 deficient. This extended bleeding went on for months. So they did another scan yup PCOS. Also 6 months after having it put in I lost about 40% of the hair on my head it was falling out in handfuls.

Then in November after I'd moved house I noticed my cycle started to get more normal and I was getting fertile cm mid month. I dint think much of it. Until I miscarried in Feb of this year not knowing I was pregnant. We worked out I was no more than 4w2d. But there was tissue coming away. Back to the docs I went I took a preg test and it was faint pos. week later bloods drawn and they were at a 1 so neg.

They ordered another scan and I got my implant removed which had bent in half in my arm and was damaged not not as effective. A month later the scan came around and just-like-that poof ovaries normal size, not polycystic not implamed not displaced anymore..... had bloods done and testosterone normal!

Make of it what you will but I did not have pcos before it and I don't have it anymore!

They were so large before they'd moved higher than they should have been and they were worried about one of them twisting.

Now they are normal, I have no bleeding issues, all the hairs have fallen out, my moods are better and im off metformin and dont get that soreness in my creases anymore, I'm sweating less a lot less. my hair on my head is thick and healthy again. I'm normal again. It's like a miracle.

 

[muffinbabes4]

Wow amber ! I'm so glad you are healthy again , holy moly !♡

 

[Cornfieldland]

Muffin!! I see it! I see it! So hoping it gets darker you fertile thing!

 

[muffinbabes4]

Ahhhhh! Thank u I hope so too corn!! If not I hate frer forever lol!!!

 

[Cornfieldland]

Pee on that other one first thing tomorrow...I command you! What time zone are you in?

 

[AmberDaisyDoo]

Oh and I am having a hard time believing I am pregnant too! No morning sickness yet, but I am sure in the next couple weeks it will set in. My boobs hurt a little and I have an occasional cramp here and there. The main symptoms I have are bloating and constipation. Sorry tmi. Hoping reality sets in soon!!! ☺️

I'm with you on the constipation I'm usually and IBS person so this is quite something lol. Is there such a thing as TMI on here?

Major hard time believing. actually the only time I do believe is when I'm on here because my siggy is a constant reminder I DID get a bfp. I feel like when I hear a heartbeat it'll sink in a little more, but wont officially sink in until I have a big belly and can feel the baby moving

muffin- waiting to see today's test. GL

I really like seeing my siggy on here too. I can't wait for the first scan, we wait until 12-14 weeks here in the UK booo! I'd like one at 7. I could go private but as we are off on hols in less than two weeks the pennies wont allow.

Muffin you crack me up. Did you hold out or break down and test?

Amber sorry that you weren't feeling well, I hope that you are doing much better now.

Thank you so much! I've had pneumonia but was treated with antibiotics and have made a quick recovery but now I have thrush from my mouth to my cooch lol

Hi ladies!!! Sorry for being MIA the last day or so but I just kind of wanted to not think about TTC for a day or two and just relax and try not to get so hung up on it, you know?

Tomorrow I will be on CD 5 and I'm hoping that AF will end Friday. Usually my cycles are around 6 days. I'm going to start my OPKs on Saturday and my fingers are crossed that the SMEP, my prenatals, and Preseed all will help this cycle!

I've been having a really good feeling about it though unlike last month where I kind of just knew I wouldn't get a positive...so I'm hoping that my gut is right this month!

I'm a strong believer in intuition! I kinda had a feeling I wouldn't get a BFP my first cycle. I was so skeptical through my 2nd cycle because of all the "wrong" symptom spotting from the previous cycle lol. But the sore boobs around 6 DPO definitely tipped me off. I have a good feeling for you for this cycle too

Also I have a question...for those ladies who checked their CM...how did you do it? Did you just stick your fingers up there and feel for it or did you just notice it on your panties when you went to restroom?

Sorry if TMI question haha but I never notice any discharge or mucus around ovulation so I'm not sure if thats is an indicator of how fertile you are or what.

Ashley. I did a bit of both but I found when it really mattered I didnt have to reach for it it was just there.

I never really produced enough for it to show in my undies, so I had to check internally. Just wash your hands then stick a finger in, find your cervix, and swipe across to bring down whatever cm is on/around there.

Hey FLArmywife, yes still here although I've been MIA for a few days as still pretty poorly. That infection did a number on me and so did the antibiotics sadly. But I'm on the mend. Glad to see everyone chugging along nicely.

I'm with you all on the bloat ladies I'm having to undo my jeans around 3-4pm and quite happily sleep too but with my kids are being home schooled at the mo -no chance lol!

TMI: I noticed a little couple of specs of red blood when I wiped twice this morning but I'm certain it's from the thrush from the antibiotics. That's a little worrying but I'm sure it was just the thrush causing it.

Is anyone else having a hard time believing it? I was told my chances of ever being pregnant again were near to nil due to pcos but as soon as I had my nexplanon removed I was scanned again and it all went away -even all the symptoms?! So I think even with huge painful boobs, stretching, intense sense of smell and food aversions, tiredness I'm still having a hard time believing it. xxx

Ugh I am so sorry you had to go though all that. I'm glad to hear you're on the mend though. I'm still only 4 weeks along, but I know what you mean when you say you have a hard time believing it.

Well I went ahead and had my second betas drawn... it's only been 32.5 hours since the last, so I'm telling myself as long as it goes up I'll be happy, I don't cate how much, just rise!!! Then I'm done testing and worrying.. I'll just believe all is wrll, I'm ready to be excited and believe all is well!!!

FX for great results

Thank you, yeah it's been rough I'm just hoping this little one has stuck through it all and is alright. Even at 4 weeks I felt like this too and it hasn't changed. It's odd isnt it? Imagine how women felt before the days of bloods tests and scans. I'd be spooked! lol

 

[muffinbabes4]

Hahaha! I will !!! Lol I'm in Florida eastern time
