long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[MommyDream]

Congrats Rachel on your girl...

I'm a horrible BnB'r lately - especially with all of you on this thread that were so supportive all the way along. I'm still sending all my to the TTCers!

 

[cmwilson]

I just scheduled my ultrasound/gender scan...January 10th. It feels like so far away! I'll survive though. As long as baby stays healthy that's all that matters.

Hi girls!

I'm so glad to hear that the appointments went well today!

Dee, those are great numbers and it must be a huge relief to know you can get an US next week. With my boys I had an internal US at about 7 weeks and they were able to see to see the heartbeat and all. You must be so excited!

Aww, Rachel, I'm happy to hear about your little girl!And I agree...there is definitely a trend on this threadLittle girls are wonderful. Mine's only 11, but she's already my best little buddy...don't know what I'd do without her. And it's great that you're feeling the baby move! It will really start picking up over the next few weeks!

Nothing new with me. Still waiting for my Met. in the mail, but I should get it over the next 3 or 4 days. I was just looking at my lab results that they sent me in the mail. When they were determining my hormone levels as to whether or not they thought I had PCOS, they took the ratio of LH to FSH (or something like that) and they said that anything over 2.5 indicated PCOS and mine was 3.4, so I guess that's not very goodOh well, hopefully the meds will help the insulin resistance so I'll O. more regularly

Hope everyone has a great day.

The one time that I had those levels measured, my LH:FSH ratio was also somewhere in the PCOS range ~3. It also depends on when in your cycle is was taken. Metformin should be really helpful for you since insulin resistance can be a big factor in annovulation. I hope it's just the boost you need!

Caroline if your feeling really impatient you can always get a private scan

Rachel, my doctor will be gone for a month because she had to have a hysterectomy. She's not my gyno, just my family doctor, but she's told me how she has had PCOS herself and how she knows things that can help with TTC. So she seems like she's very willing to try to help and she said she will talk more with me about the PCOS/options when she comes back. But she wanted me to go ahead and start taking the Metformin (which came in the mail today) so maybe it would help in the mean time.

Dee, I was on day 14 of my cycle when they did the tests, so I'm not sure what my level should have been like then. But yeah, I really hope the Met. gives my body that extra little push

Hope everyone had a great weekend. It's all cold and rainy here today Seems like a good day for cuddling up with some hot cocoa and a good book.

Big hugs everyone

That's great about the metformin Bethany! It sounds like your Dr will be more sympathetic to your situation since she's been in it herself

Raven - do you think you already ovulated on CD10?! Kind of looks like that to me based on your chart

 

[mandy1229100]

Hi ladies I have a quick question for you o was wondering how long you had to wait to get your doctors to run any test. Next month will be a year of ttc and I tracked my last two cycles one being a 77 day cycle and this previous one I didn't ovulate.

i don't know...it looks that way, even tho FF doesn't have crosshairs for me. And my temping hasn't been the greatest this month since i was going to relax more...but i can say that the i did have some watery cm on saturday dec8th...and i figured out what i did to my thermometer..i reset it to celcus..appaently if you hold down the power button for 3 seconds it changes it...and that must have been what i did...but i am still discarding those temps - guess the only way to find out if i did infact o is to wait wait wait...and see if af shows up in 16 days

Mandy a year is the normal waiitng time before seeing a doc, that is how long I had to wait. When you go in, take any charts in that you have, so they can see what your cycles are like and when you do or do not ovulate

 

[mandy1229100]

Thank you very much . So only about 2 more cycles ... or one depending on how long it last.

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...hope everyone is well

Just updating, today is my 2nd day of the Met....I don't know if it's all in my head or what, but it seems like I'm noticing a decrease in my appetite. Usually I like to eat (and even have seconds sometimes, lol) but I noticed today I just don't really want to eat...and if I do eat, then I don't want as much as usual. Like this morning, I had cereal and after 5 bites, I just didn't want anymore. I also don't have a craving for sweets like I do a lot. Hopefully it's not all in my head and it means the Met. is working

Big hugs!

 

[cmwilson]

Raven - If you did O I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Mandy - I hope you get some answers from the doc or your BFP in the mean time.

Bethany - I hope the smaller appetite and not craving sweets is a good sign things are working! Are you temping? I hope you O soon!!

All is going good with me. Think I started feeling movement from the little one at the end of last week, it kind of feels like random popcorn popping. Might not be it but I'm going to say it is!

 

[mrsc81]

Love the profile pic caroline!
And that definately sounds like baby movement to me!

 

[Rachel789]

Sounds like movement to me Caroline! Love the new profile pic

 

[cmwilson]

Yay! How exciting!

Thanks, I love the picture too.

 

[Rachel789]

I have been feeling movement like you are describing for a couple weeks now but I only feel it a few times a day it's not consistent yet. Yesterday I felt a couple of the strongest ones I felt yet it, I want more of that!

They told me last week at the ultrasound that I have an anterior placenta so I may not feel movements on a regular basis until I am around 22 weeks which is not too far off. They said the movement I am feeling now is likely when she kicks hard or kicks/moves in a certain area around the placenta because when the placenta is in the front it acts as a cushion to the kicks but once she gets a little bigger I will feel it. So maybe that's why you haven't felt a lot of movement yet I was told its common to have an anterior placenta it is just where it happened to implant.

 

[cmwilson]

I feel it most often at night when I'm laying watching TV. It was funny, the other night, my cat was in my lap and his bottom was laying against my lower stomach and the baby went poke poke poke right where the cat's bottom was! Hehe Do you feel the movement on one side or another? I've been feeling it in the middle-right and middle-left.

I guess I'll find out where the placenta is on January 10th!!

 

[Rachel789]

Can't wait to find out what your having!

I mostly feel her a couple inches below my belly button
