Long Irregular Cycles 'r' Us

[ALY0103]

Well just to give an update - still no . Haven't really had any side effects from the Metformin - which is good - just hoping and waiting now.

Drakey - I know how you feel (as you can see from my ticker - I too am no stranger to extra long cycles!). I hope you get some answers from your blood tests.
When I had blood tests done in January (because of my irregular cycles) they said the results came back normal (but bearing in mind - dr was absolutely useless). It wasn't until I went again in March (because of a suspected pregnancy and even later cycle) that MY doctor referred me to the hospital and they finally diagnosed PCOS.
I hope that isn't the case with you but that is probably one of the things that they are testing for.

Can I just ask what your BMI is? And your age? As they say that weight can be a factor in either PCOS and/or trying to conceive in general (not always but sometimes can effect ovulation etc). My BMI was about 31 when I went to hospital - which is why I think he put me on Metformin first as he thought that the PCOS was effecting my weight and if I lost some it might trigger ovulation (getting down to a BMI of about 26/27 (which looking back to last year when before I got married - with an BMI of 25ish my cycles were more frequent - still irregular (33, 49, 37, 45, 79) but more frequent!) - he didn't say this so am only guessing. He just said as I was still young (29 in August) so he would try me on that first.

yeh im over weight, think bmi of 40 and im 19 so still young too. i just want some answers. although the doc didnt seem bothered about my weight - he said i was a tall girl though lol 5'7. average i think. just hoping they dont find nothing drastically wrong with me lol. hopefully everything will be fine, but nothings ever that simple is it, its the first time i have had blood taken so im really scared lol xxxxx

Hey ladies can I join you?
I'm chele, 29, dh is 35 and ttc #1. been trying since october and no luck. I have PCOS and first 6 cycles off bcp were ok in length, but am now cd 63 so my old irregular periods are returning

Need some help as getting jealous of people who can 2WW - I def can't and getting me down. Awaiting AF to start so I can get bloods done as I think I am anovulatory and also might have low progesterone but will see
if not i have to go back to dr in 3 weeks and she'll refer me

where is the witch?

Hey Chele. A lot of us on here are PCOS girls. I know what you mean though, I go to the TTC forum and see TWW postings and I get just a twinge of jealousy. I mean, I know the TWW isn't fun, but I don't even get one!

By the way girls, the nipples are still sore but not as bad as they were yesterday. Sigh, I was hoping it was a pregnancy symptom, but I just tested too early. Looks like the symptoms are going away though...but no AF!

Drakey, I have fingers XD that all your blood work comes back with good results!

 

[drakey]

thanks hun xx

 

[quail]

hi ladies well im 5dpo and ive got nothing to report just waiting until its time to test hope all you ladies are well.xx

 

[chele]

i did my 19th consecutive poas last night and swear it's a positive one, as this morning I got another one. I need to work out how to post a photo, but it's the darkest it's ever been. Still not as dark as the test line but definitely miles better than the first 18 I've taken.

Feeling positive about this and will poas tonight and hope my temps rise. Still low this morning

 

[blondeNklutzi]

That's exciting Chele, I have my fingersXD for a sticky bean for you!

 

[quail]

well ladies im 6dpo and couldnt resist the urge to poas so idid a frer and got a really faint line but it came up at 3 mins its to light to catch on camera just hoping this is the start of my bfp .good luck with the tests chele.xx

 

[blondeNklutzi]

I'm happy for both of you! Hopefully, the random symptoms I have been having lately are the start of a BFP. My nipples still hurt like crazy and today I spent the entire evening dizzy, although I think that may have been from a lack of food today (I forgot to eat).
Sigh, I'm not a very patient person, but I figure if the random stuff keeps up I will test again in about a week or a week and a half.

 

[quail]

well ladies ive done another test this am with fmu and the line is still there and a bit clearer so im hoping this is it i will keep you all posted .xx

 

[drakey]

good luck hun xxxx

 

[chele]

think the other day when I was on about my poas i gave the impression it was to see if i was pg - it's actually an opk poas - see the ovulation gallery and tell me what you think. It's still the same this evening, if a slight bit lighter. Still feeling positive, will just wait and see if shows up in 2 weeks, but still think i anovulatory

happy saturday everyone x

 

[chele]

just added a new photo to the gallery, it's looking good. woop woop

 

[ALY0103]

Drakey - I'm sure everything will be fine. Fingers crossed you get some answers soon.

Quail - congratulations - fingers crossed for a sticky bean.

Still no for me and have been feeling really off the last few days - a little sicky and generally crappy - I could really do with a week off (sleeping!).

But dome good news - I passed my driving test on Friday - so at least thats something - only bad thing is now everybody keeps saying - you can have a baby - as DH had said previously (before we started trying) that he wanted me to be able to drive before we started trying!

[quail]

well done on passing your driving test aly0103.xx have you tried testing yet if af is late?

 

[BizyBee]

Whoa, lots to catch up on!

Aly, congrats on the driving test!
Chele, hope it was a positive. Catch that egg girl!
Quail, hope this is truly a bfp for you hun!
Blonde, I hope your random symptoms lead to a bfp!

As for me, I can happily say that I think Clomid helped me ovulate and I am around 2 dpo today (CD21). I definitely felt twinges/cramps and had EWCM for a few days. I also had progressively darker OPK's. This is the first time I've knowingly been in the TWW and it's exciting. It also seems like I'm on track for a shorter cycle.

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Quail- any news?
BizyBee- I hope this is the cycle for you!
Chele- ditto for you, lol. Hope you catch the egg this month.

The bbs are STILL sore (seriously, this is getting old) but not as bad. Still, to appease my OH I'm going to test again later this week or early next week.

 

[quail]
