Yes AF is definitely on her way. Bad cramps and heavy spitting which in pinky/red. I've got a massive grin on my face lol!

I think seeing the Dr was the best thing for me. Her telling me that without losin weight she can't help me really out things into perspective. 8lb gone so far only 42 until my first target lol

I love watching all your raspberries and blueberries growing

 

[Diddums]

Woop AF has started. Light/medium red flow that requires a pad!!!!!!!

Hey!!! Its been such a long time since I've been here. I got a bit fed up with TTCing, and decided to stop. Last month I got convinced to try Clomid for a 3rd time.
I had stopped temping month ago, stopped taking metformin, folic acid, everything, only did the deed when I felt like it, don't know when I ovulated and dont even thing we did it on the day...but surprise surprise...I got a BFP!!! I still cant believe it, and hope the lil bean sticks.

I decided to post here cuz I know how frustrating it is. We've been TTCing since october and I wasnt even ovulating, so there is hope after all!

 

[foquita]

YAY katya, amazing news you must be over the moon can't wait to see you ovulating with the soy

congratulations mollymalone happy and healthy 9 months

 

[seabean]

So much good news on here today!! Amazing!

Katya - CD1!!! Single digits! Look at that nice short chart of yours

Caroline - What great news! I am so happy for you and your follicles!

Hubby and I had our 3 year anniversary yesterday and celebrated by taking the day off and going to the beach and a nice dinner AF kind of killed the romance, that wench!

 

[Rachel789]

Katya- congrats on AF how exciting! What CD are you starting soy?

Dee-Happy anniversary Sorry the witch ruined things

Molly- Congrats!

Lil, Bex, Louise-I hope you are all feeling ok

Nat-What CD are you on? It would be great if you have yet another 28 day cycle!

Caroline-I am still soooo excited for you! I bet those follies will continue to grow and will be a nice size by time you have your next scan

I have my appt this afternoon. I am excited to finally get some answers but at the same time I am really nervous because I can't stand to hear anymore bad news. I really hope the dr. can reassure me he will be able to fix things and get me pregnant.

I have been having a fair amount of ewcm the past couple days and now my temp is up a little today. Trying not to get my hopes up though until I see if my temp is still up tomorrow. I would be shocked if I did O so I am thinking it may be a fluke temp. If for some reason I did O it would likely still be attributed to the clomid being in my system, the dr. said it still may have an affect because it stays in the system for up to 72 days. I havent been doing opks because I have been trying to be more relaxed so I guess I have to wait and see if my temp is up more tomorrow.

 

[mrsc81]

Good luck with your appt Rachel!

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...

Caroline, great news! It sounds so promising...I wish you lots of luck tomorrow at your next scan. Hopefully you can have your IUI on Monday and a BFP here in a couple of weeks!

Rach, good luck at your appt. I hope you get tons of good news!

Katya, that is wonderful about AFI know it must be a great feeling after all this time. And that's also great about your weight loss...congrats!! I can't wait to hear how you do on the 200 mg. of soy this cycle...I think I'm on about CD90 nowand I tried calling my doctor and because I haven't been in to see him in a while, he can't call in a prescription for Provera or anything without seeing me first and because of their busy schedule, they can't get me in for quite a while, so it looks like I'm on my own

Dee, I'm sorry you didn't get your BFP this cycle, but it looks with your cycle being normal again, you'll be getting a lot more chances than you were beforeI know it will happen for you soon. Hope you and hubby had a great anniversary

Not much for me...just taking what vitamins I can study up and am trying to lose a little weight. I also ordered the Female Toner tea that was mentioned a few pages ago. Other than that, I don't know

Hugs to everyone.

 

[Rachel789]

Bethany-I am sorry your body is not behaving I know how frustrating that must be I really hope things start happening for you soon.

Katya-I forgot to say congrats on the weight loss so far! Great job

 

[jbk]

Hey ladies! I haven't been on in while my computer died, but its all fixed now! I'm on CD14 of 40 hoping to get a positive OPK soon. How is everyone? I joined a gym to maybe shed some pounds. Good luck to everyone!

Well I just came back from my dr. appt and got all of my results. I do have PCOS but I don't have insulin resistance. I have slightly higher estrogen and testosterone levels than they like to see and he said the higher testosterone levels are due to my cystic ovaries. There really isnt anything they can do about my testosterone levels but he said as long as he can get me ovulating I will have just as good of a chance as anyone else. He seemed confident that over a course of trying 3-4 IUIs if I ovulate everytime I will have an 80% chance of getting pregnant! Now staying pregnant is the next challenge because he said people with PCOS are known to have higher miscarriage rates. So I will have to take caution and not get too excited even if I do fall pregnant unfortunately. DH's SA came back GREAT! The results were:


Sperm count: 76 million (he said they consider over 39 million normal)
Motile sperm: 54% (normal greater than 40%)
Morphology: 18% (greater than 4%)

Also my AMH which shows how many eggs you have came back really good too. He said they like to see over .8 and mine was 13.11.

So overall the news was as good as it could be, I am nervous about the increased risk of miscarraige but at least I know there is a chance for me to get pregnant.

He did an ultrasound while I was there and he saw the corpus luteum and said I likely ovulated recently. So it appears based on my temp rise today I o'ed yesterday. And my lining was actually nice and thick for once at 11mm! So I finally feel like for the first time in a year I have a chance at getting pregnant and if I don't I have things to look forward to. If I don't get pregnant this cycle he wants me to do the HSG next cycle and then if all is clear the following cycle we will start the IUI and femara. I hope I can just be pregnant now and avoid spending all that money!

I am wondering if the raspberry leaf tea helped thicken my lining? I guess I will never know for sure. I think the reason I ended up O'ing was due to the clomid still being in my system, I don't think it will happen again next cycle and he doesnt want me to take meds the hsg cycle so I am still trying to figure out if I want to do soy or not.
