LTTTC, want to be buddies?

Yeah, I definitely understand ya there. We tried the Clomid through my doctor and it didnt happen. Well, it did but I miscarried. And my DR is a quack, so I'll have to go somewhere else before we can try it again. I'm just scared that we won't ever have a chance too. I'm hoping and praying that wont be the case for either of us!

Will do.

I'm actually pretty scared about it all. I know I have PCOS but anything else is still a grey area. Don't want to be told that I have no chance I suppose!

*hugs* I'm praying for you! Just keep the faith and keep a positive mental attitude about it. Or at least do the best you can on that. I'm operating under the belief that God wants me to be a mother to a live child and that I'll be getting pregnant soon and that's helping me surprisingly.

You'll get there! I've now had 3 friends that were all set to do IVF come up pregnant on their own BEFORE they could do the IVF. So just keep thinking positively. It all comes when we are least expecting it so very often.

Thanks, I'm hoping that will happen. I'm just tired of stressing over it, it takes over your life. And I'm still young, so we've got time to worry about it later if it dont happen now.

Hey babyjla,

My names Jennifer and I've been ttc for 3 years and I have pcos also. I know what a pain in the ass it can be.

Well guys the news wasn't as bad as I expected, I was actually ok, telling other people made it worse!

How is it, I'm the one who cant currently get pregnant, yet everyone else feels bad about it!!

Anyway, doctor said looks like im not ovulating, no surprise there then. I have to go have a lap dye done in the first 10 days of my next cycle. If i have blocked tubes I have to have keyhole surgery. If not, clomid here we come.

She did tell me some interesting stuff there. Ovulation predictors even without pcos are a load of rubbish. She said that by the time the egg is there, if you don't already have healthy sperm inside you, its already too late.

Apparantly the first 7 hours they are realised, they do nothing (cue pictures of little sperms sat reading in deckchairs, only me, ok I'll move on ;-) ) so you have to have a supply up there ready!

So, in two months or so (when i finally get my new appointment) i'll be on clomid going at it like rabbits!

We have booked this years holiday, cuba in december for xmas, so mum says i might even end up with a cuban baby

Hey eternaldream! Yeah, its so frustrating. Especially when so many people get pregnant with no problem, or take advantage of the fact that they can. Have you been to a fertility specialist? What all have you tried? I tried clomid for 4 months and nothing happened :/ So later this year we are going to go to a fs and see what next step we should take. I'm pretty sure I O'd on clomid, but my current doc is a quacko lol.

Sammylou, that is super exciting!!! I can't wait to hear what happens. Why do you have to wait so long for an appt? I hope you don't have blocked tubes! That would suck, especially with already having issues with ovulating. I have a feeling there's something else wrong with me besides not O'ing. We tried clomid for 4months, and I know for some women it don't work, but I'm pretty sure I O'd. I mean I had the pain, cm, and all that jazz. So I guess later this year when we go to a diff fs we'll see. I'm like you though, I'm really scared to find out anything else is wrong lol

 

[eternaldream]

Babyj: I'm on clomid 150. None of the other doses worked for me. I know I'm ovulating, I'm just not getting that bfp.

I hope you find a good dr. I love my re. He's one of the best in my area. You should definitely have a dr you feel comfortable with.

I totally agree. Having a doctor that you feel comfortable with relieves soooo much stress! I'm glad you have one that you love!! Hope you get your bfp soon.

 

[babyjla]

Oh okay, so we are kinda in the same position. I'm going to see a new fs around the end of the year. I gotta save some money up first because my insurance doesnt cover infertility, and I dont want to start treatment and not be able to finish it. How long have you been taking the Clomid?

 

[Sammylou2905]

Hi girlies

Sorry not been on in a while, not had any GOOD news to tell you.

So, the updates so far are...

the day came to have my scan, nervous as you can imagine, then half hour before the appointment on the way to the hospital, i got the call that the machine was broken! What was the helpful response by the hospital, oh not to worry, just come again next month! At whcih point I broke down and said I have PCOS it's not that easy!

Cried most of the morning at the setback and finally just got over it.

Still waiting on my next AF to go again and found out today my next appointment isnt till August, so 4 months inbetween appointments before I can even see my doctor!!

Then I have now developed undiagnosed shoot pains, painful BD almost every time and from research looks like I have endometriosis.
Of course this needs to be confirmed but looking likely

Feel today like I will never have the baby we do desparatley long for and at 32 feel like every day it gets less and less likely it will come.

So down today girlies it isnt funny

Im so sorry you are not having a good day
I was diagnosed with pcos at age 16 and how I found this out is that my male hormone levels were too high(facial hair-been waxing since middle school). Then my blood work came back that my insuline level was too high so I was diagnosed with hyperinsulima and given medformin and Yasmin. I am bad and have not taken my medformin. But to get to my point I am now married (5/20/11) and have just taken myself off of the bc in May. My husband and I have been trying so hard this month to get pregnant-I know it doesn't happen that quick but I thought it won't hurt. I am now on CD 19 and waiting on my period to start in its own before I start taking medformin. Btw before going on bc I have normal periods and I have never missed a period since I started when I was 9 1/2. I felt like I ovulated and I had the discharge and all but I know that with pcos you hardly ovulate. It's so frustrating to know you even though you get your period you more than likely didnt ovulate. I do go to the gynecologist next Friday so I'm hoping he can help me out but I know what I'm going to hear you need weight loss surgery before thinking about having a baby-same crap I've heard my entire life about how I need to loss weight-currently doing weight watchers since feb.
Now since I've rambled I've joined this group to find someone or other women that have gone threw this or are now because it's nice to always have someone to talk to about your problems that understands were your coming from. Feel free to send me a message
Hope to make some new friends soon...btw this is my first time on this site
