Feeling really nervous today

[Carrie29]

Hi Ladies, to cut my story short i came off the BCP last year to ttc and since then had a 6 week's cycle, an 8 week and now 108 days so far and still no sign of AF. I was sent for blood tests early Dec which the only thing that showed up was that LH was 12 and FSH was 5 so 3 times the normal level which can indicate PCOS. Before BCP 10 years ago i used to have regular cycles 30days and always assumed it would go back to this, i live a healthy lifestyle, exercise regular and eat healthily basically doing everything i can to be healthy ttc!!. i've been having acupuncture since mid Dec, i've had 4 sessions so far and had ov type pains and EWCM after the first session but still no AF. Had an evap on FRER and BFN since and now just feeling very down.

I'm going for a US Scan on Thursday and now just getting so worried about it. If i do have PCOS will my doc give me something to bring on AF and then clomid?.

Try not to worry about it sweetie. What your doc does will depend on the severity of your PCOS if you have it and treatment will vary between PCTs (if you live in the UK). Whatever happens at least you'll know what's going on and therefore what the best plan of attack is. I would imagine you'll be given something to regulate your cycles though.

As difficult as I know it is, try and stay positive until you know the outcome of your scan.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you hon!

Thanks Smufette, i go through stages of thinking it's fine and relax etc and then every now again panic, everyone seems to be pregnant around me and i can't even get a normal cycle.. sorry just feeling sorry for myself today, where's my PMA gone....

 

[Smurfette]

Honey, everyone gets days like that. Everyone around me seems to be pregnant and there are days where I feel like it's just never going to happen, but then I'll suddenly get another surge of positivity and things are good again.

Try to look at this scan as a positive thing so you know where you stand.

Hi Carrie, I often feel nervous and anxious about this whole TTC business, sometimes its the anticipation waiting for the appointments to arrive can make you feel more anxious. Once Thursday has arrived you'll be fine, you'll know more about what is going on and hopefully they will be able to give you some answers. Wishing you lots of luck

Carrie29 - Hey I´ve got a very similar story! Had one cycle that lasted 4.5months! No AF for 4.5 mths, I almost went crazy. Went for blood test and my LH/FSH ratio was 3/1 too! Have you got your thyroid gland checked? My AF came back after taking my thyroid medication for 10 days! I´m SO sure that it was due to an underactive thyroid.

Since then, my AF has been regular for 2 mths and I hope it stays that way. My LH/FSH ratio is still 3:1 and i´ve got an Endo. appointment for another blood test. Right now, I´m trying to get more information on either Metformin (which is supposed to regulate LH/FSH hormones) and Clomid (which is supposed to stimulate ovulation).

Can we be friends? I finally found someone in a similar condition!!!!

 

[Carrie29]

hi cheerio's sure can..

i did have thyroid checks but they all came back normal, so i'm hoping that after my scan i can go down the route of metamorfin and clomid!

i'll check out your blog now..

When I came off the pill I didnt have a period for 7 mnths, when they did start again they were quite long. They slowly started to get shorter and I now have cycles of 30-34 days. Its taken me a long time to get back to normal.
Try not to worry about it too much hun, see what the tests show but you may not have anything to worry about at all.
