New here! Have PCOS and TTC, so glad to speak with ppl who understand

[HayWat]

So, My Name is Haley McCaleb I'm 24, have PCOS and I'm TTC. I'm happily married to my husband Josh who is 30 years old and he is completely ready to be a father. It does make me feel bad because we have been trying for a few years, I've tried Clomid once, metformin daily and I diet. I am still overweight and I know that loosing weight will help increase fertility. I never have a period at all I just got on progesta-care cream and hoping to regulate my cycle. Please leave comments with any help

Welcome, Haley! I have PCOS, too and TTC. Only recently started seriously TTC because my body was just not ready until last year. You are smart to seek help early on- I sometimes feel very guilty that I didn't start figuring out how my body works earlier. I'm in the TWW of Cycle #6, and I have been really happy with my fertility signs! Praying that this cycle is the one!

Hi! I'm Mary. I'm also new here and I too have pcos. Hopefully we can help each other on our journeys.

Have you tried vitex? I started taking it in January and I had a period within 2 weeks.

Welcome to BnB

 

[Linzalora]

Heya, Mary! Glad to hear that vitex is working well for you! How long have your cycles been on vitex?

AFM, I got my cycle back through the Primal diet, but we weren't sure about ovulation, so I'm taking clomid. I think it worked- I definitely had O pain and there was a temp spike on my BBT.

 

[tiki012]

I started taking vitex in January. I take 400 mg twice a day and I've had a cycle every month every 29-30 days. I'm just concerned now cause my lureal phase is only 9-10 days

 

[Linzalora]

Ah, I see. I read that a normal luteal phase is 10-14 days, so you're not too far off! Are you taking a prenatal multivitamin with B6 or omega-3? I'm taking those.

 

[tiki012]

I do. I take a prenatal that has the omega 3, calcium with vit d, co q10, and a complex vitamin b. Plus I have a rx for high blood pressure and then I was given metformin for the pcos (250mg twice a day).

Awesome! I think I've noticed a difference since I started taking the omega 3 for sure, but I've also been a bit more strict on my diet. Maybe a combo. Are you temping? I'd love to stalk your chart if you are!

 

[tiki012]

I just started temping yesterday.

I think the link to my chart is in my signature now

 

[Linzalora]

I have been really happy with my BBT chart. I didn't think anything was functioning right with me, but since I've started to chart, I am amazed at how much IS working. Are you using the Fertility Friend app/website?

 

[tiki012]

Yes I am using ff. The hardest part for me is remembering to temp before I get up.

 

[Linzalora]

Oh, yeah. Within a week, I was automatically shoving the thermometer in my mouth as soon as I woke up, even when I woke up at like 1 am on accident.

 

[tiki012]

Hopefully I can keep with it. Especially since I think my lp is short.I'll know for sure when I ovulated.
