light hearted ttc

[TTCwitPCOS]

Well ladies...I have been to the doctors!! And I am happy lol.

They are actually unsure whether I do have PCOS! It turns out the ultrasound showed one ovary with all the signs but the other one apparently is below the threshold of PCOS. I have had blood tests and apparently they were all normal. He was saying there is a male hormone which all women have (not testosterone) which is typically high when you have PCOS but on my tests apparently it was all normal!!

So I haven't got Metaformin yet as he wants to ensure I do have it as he doesn't want to give me something which would help for something I might not have.

Plus he weighed me and said that in the past month since I was last weighed I have lost over a stone and I am the lightest I've been in a year!

Soo I'm over the moon at the moment and know not to go to any other dr but him regarding this issue

The OH has said that if it turns out I don't have PCOS then I should sue for all the heartache and rubbish I've been through but I don't know if I would. I'm just taking it as it comes now.

Plus I think I either have ovulated or am close to ovulating! Yesterday I had CM on the tissue (sorry if tmi!!!) and I also had twinges on my left side lower abdomen! So of course I made sure we BD hehehe. and I will make sure we BD at least every other night for the next week or so hehehe

Sooo how are you ladies??

xoxo

Wow, that's great news. So positive too!!! Well done on the weight loss. Hearing news like that must have given you and your oh such a boost. Good luck!

I'm good thanks. The decorating in our flat will be finished today so the weekend will consist of cleaning, washing the babies clothes, and having the carpets professionally cleaned tomorrow ready for the nursery furniture and our new bed to be delivered on Tuesday. It's all finally coming together!

I weighed myself last night and have put on 15 lbs the whole pregnancy. I'm sure it will pile on over the next few weeks though!

The nursery looks lovely, we are so happy with it. We have for with a light grey colour. The furniture that's being delivered is all white. I'll post photos up once the furniture is in. Has all our carpets cleaned today too. I'll start washing the babies clothes next weekend Sony can put them away in the new wardrobe/drawers.

 

[TTCwitPCOS]

Ooo exciting! I bet it makes it feel totally real now with the nursery and clothes and things! It sound lovely! :-D

 

[Blondiejay]

I do feel like we have left it quite late though. Need to get my hospital bag ready too. 5 weeks to go tomorrow and 3 weeks left of work. eek!!

 

[hello_kitty]

Hi Katie, welcome back! A few years ago I was in a similar situation as yours. I wasnt conceiving at the time, but my cycles were very wacky. I went without having a period for 3 months! They did my blood work and it showed that my hormones was unbalanced and said tested me for pcos. They were sure I had pcos. I moved to a different city before anything got finanlized. However, I was put on bc pills to regulate my cycles during the time there. About 2 years after I moved here, I followed up with a new doctor. This time, they confirmed that I do not have pcos and ended up checking my thyroid. First test came back negative, and they wanted to do another test just to be 100% sure...but I got pregnant before the second test was done. I am pretty positive at this time that I dont have any problems. Dont let the doctors scare you!!! Were/are you on birth control pills? They have helped me a lot in regulating my cycles. I missed one week worth of pills and got pregnant the first time. Sadly it ended in a chemical. Second time only took me 2 cycles. I dont know if the bc pills played a role, but I know for sure that my cycles were super wacky prior to being on them. Good luck! I hope you get your bfp soon!

How are the rest of you ladies doing? I am 30 weeks today. The countdown officially begins! We have almost everything for the baby and he has more than enough clothes, we're waiting until black friday to get the rest.

Susi- your nursery sounds exciting! Our nursery looks rather plain. We just had a crib with the bedding, 5 wall hangings, decoration shelf that matches bedding, valance, matching lamp, changing table, and a dresser. I wish we could paint but we life in an apartment. Baby would have to share his nursery with us since we are also using his room as an office. I might buy some wall stickers though. Feel bad for the little guy cuz he will be getting minimal natural light. The window is blocked by a stupid tree. Oh well, I have a feeling he'll mostly be staying with me anyways.

 

[Blondiejay]

Good morning, wow sounds like you are super organised! Cant believe you are 30 weeks already. We are going to get some wall stickers, lots of different size stars to go up one corner of the room.

 

[TTCwitPCOS]

Hello kittY! Bet you can't wait for the last 10 weeks fly by!

Oo susi it sounds lovely! :-D when it's my turn I was thinking of painting the ceiling dark blue and put stars on it or maybe light blue and then clouds. But still got to get the bfp first! Lol

Well nothing new other than I threw up after eating pork earlier. My oh is allergic to pork and I've never had such a reaction before so got my fingers crossed although I am sure it is too soon for that sort of stuff but a girl can hope! Hehe

Xoxo

 

[Blondiejay]

Oh wow Katie, I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. Your nursery idea sounds great too. I always said I didn't want a theme for the nursery but I do love stars. I've got a tattoo of one on the side of my wrist.

 

[skyraaa]

AFM, im on cd1 today. AF has started 20 days after the abnormal bleeding and found out that ovarian cysts cause abnormal bleeding in between periods Well, i had a talk with DH and I was going to wait until I went up there yo handle the whole going to the doctor to get treated BUT DH now is showing concern and he wants to go with my previous plan which was to seek medical help BEFORE i leave to Conencticut next month. So im changing my PCM (Primary Care Manager/doctor) to a female and will schedule an appt immediately when my insurance goes into effect which is next Thursday So will be seeing the doctor soon. I'm just ready to get rid of these cysts so I can finally conceive with no problem and have a LO in our arms.

 

[hello_kitty]

Katie- I have my fingers crossed for you too!
patrice- Wish you the best of luck!
Susie- Since we are due around the same season, I was just wondering if you did/are splurging on maternity clothes? I bought a few dresses during the summer. I barely have any fall/winter clothes. I feel like its a waste with only 10 weeks left. Found these nice pair of jeans but didnt like the price. I cant imagine putting them away after 10 weeks. Think I'll just make do with what I currently have. What about you? Are you buying any maternity clothes to get through the fall?

 

[TTCwitPCOS]

Omgosh ladies! I thought I was out last night as when I wiped (sorry tmi!) I had cm that had blood in it but it was brown blood but with my periods being dodgy I thought ah right here is AF AGAIN! But today nothing, just cm! Sooo who knows! I've got my fx sooo badly! I've got sharp twingy pains again in my abdomen so dunno but here's hoping!!

Hope you all are well.

 

[hello_kitty]

Katie, when will you be testing? Hope you get a bfp!

 

[mzswizz]

Katie-Here's to hoping it was IB and you are closer to your bfp

hello_kitty-thanks!

AFM, im on cd2 today. So 5 more days to go and then hopefully AF will kick rocks But as of right now, I have a sore throat which sucks so hopefully that goes away because bloating, cramps, fatigue, AF and then on top of that a sore throat...bad combination Im just ready to go to the doc and see what she has to say. I am going to a family practice doctor and she specializes in hormonal therapy so thats good for me also. I need to be in tip top shape by the time the trip next month comes around So we shall see.
