PCOS Buddies (10 BFP)

[krissie328]

I have tried the CB advanced digis and I did not like them. Like Taz I had high readings way to long. It did give me a solid on the same day I got a positive on my opk so that wasy good. But really I think the ic are just as effective and way cheaper. Maybe it is the PCOS messing with the hormone detector?

wouldluv- I have had midcycle bleeding that was fairly light. I had a heavier bleed once for two days and my doctor never seemed concerned.

I get mid cycle bleeding but no idea why it happens. Usually brown/pinkish. Happened 3/4 times in my 131 day cycle x

today is my third day getting ewcm i thought clomid is supposed to dry up cm but doing opposite for me. Should i start opks? can i ovulate early with clomid?

So if I was able to loose weight when I went on the pill for 3 months before we TTC and since I went off it I've felt crap and gaining weight like mad again do you think it has to do with PCOS?

I gained weight like crazy after stopping bc pills too, it's def related to hormones. Insulin resistance that causes weight gain.

 

[wouldluvabub]

Ok well I'm thinking I should speak with my doctor then.

 

[krissie328]

Yep, definitely hormone related.

Golden- yea you can ovulate sooner. Start opks! Also, clomid does not dry me out so I don't think it does for everyone.

I bumped my inositol dose up to 3,000mg divided into two 1,500 doses and adjusted my low carb diet to include more high fat and I've been stricter with the carbs and I've lost 3lbs so far this week! (Of course I workout too) My weight loss had stalled a bit and now we're back on track. Haven't noticed any difference in acne or facial hair (I have PLENTY on my head so that's not an issue) but my mood is much better! No sugar cravings or carb cravings. It brought AF on now just waiting to see if it makes me ovulate. Cd10 currently

 

[Betty.Rubble]

KylasBaby - I'm on CD11 so we can be cycle buddies

 

[KylasBaby]

Would love to! We aren't trying right now. Waiting until January, but trying to get everything on track before then as we use a donor and are swaying again so need to get the timing down

yes you can ovulate early with chlomid!! OPK AND BD !!! BD anytime you have fertile CM!

 

[Betty.Rubble]

I am doubtful I would conceive this cycle anyway. We are more NTNP than TTC so it's more of a case of getting my cycles sorted just would be great to get a bfp. I worry that temping, multivitamins and diet/exercise alone isn't enough but hopefully when I move doctors they will consider metformin x

 

[KylasBaby]

Getting those cycles sorted is 97% of our battles lol.

I've got a good vitamin regimine going and I'm losing weight so hopefully I ovulate. I'm really hoping to avoid metformin.

Unfortunately my parents were over since AF started so we couldnt get any BD done (exceptCD5), my temp is going up slowly but i highly doubt i ovulated as early as CD7 lol

Parents are gone today and took my last pill yesterday so i will start opks tonight here we start!!!

 

[PrincessTaz]

Goldenratio one of the symptoms of clomid is hot flushes and a higher temp. Every clomid cycle I've done my charts have been way higher for that first week or so I've been on clomid. It always makes me coverline higher than it would have been normally!

I definitely agree that sorting your cycles out and getting to know your own fertility signs is half the battle for sure x

 

[krissie328]

I also have higher and rocky temps my week on clomid. I also get hot flashes on it.

So today I am 9 dpo and spotting/light af? It is bright red and just has been so upset. I have also been crampy for two days. My lp has never been this short so I am wondering if its low progesterone. If this is af I think I will need to call my doctor.

 

[PrincessTaz]

Krissie I hope it isn't af for you x

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Oh krissie Hope it's just some mid cycle spotting x

I was gonna say maybe u ovulated earlier but cd21 way too early for af, maybe its mid cycle bleeding or hopefully ib!! ib can be red too.

Wonder if you ladies can help - the past 3 cycles I had my opks would be quite dark by now but not quite positive for ages. They are pretty faint on the 20miu ones at the minute so I'm wondering if it's a good sign that my LH level is a bit more normal this time round? I am temping and I'm checking cm - no where near ovulation yet so this is looking good for more regulation right?

Also got lots of burning pains in ovary areas over the past couple of days - should I be worried or could this be the cysts?

Hope you're all okay x
