Golden, i have the opposite.. ewcm alllllll the time!

May- i remember the first time we were ttc peiple were getting left right and centre. At one point i was attending baby showers every weekend for like 2 months!

I had no idea pcos was related to vitamin d deficiency, ive never even considered that but I ALWAYS feel tired so now i am curious.

Klabro, that sucks about being out of whack. Its so hard to predict anything with pcos right?

Also, can i ask where is from. I feel like im in another timezone (I'm in Australia)

 

[krissie328]

I live in the US so I am very far behind you. It is only 5 am here.

Those actually look great! ...I have to admit you ladies are way more ontop of PCOS than me.. lol.. I have no been following a diet at all, just eating my usual..which is healthy as I run a daycare and eat the same as them My insulin levels were never an issue though. Also thanks Goldin for your input on what your hormone specialist will have you do in the case of pregnancy.. I think id go against my doctor and continue taking it untill at least 3 months because alll the research ive done has said to do so... Ive already had 2 miscarriages, id definetly like to avoid anymore.

I have PCOS trying for #2

Hola! How was conceiving the first one? how long have u been on clomid? Are you taking anything else?

Hi! Conceiving #1 was pretty easy. I did first found of clomid at 50mg bfn then second month i was on 100mg of clomid and we used preseed and I got pregnant. But my periods were semi regular back then. This time around im about to start my second round of 50mg of clomid but im taking tablets to induce my period because i havnt had one for 90 days plus. *sigh* i thought I was pregnant after my first round of clomid. .. aparently not! Oh and no not taking anything else other than prenatal vitamins.

Oh and when I say easy.. i mean i got pregnant the second month on clomid... but never got pregnant the 5 years before that I was ttc lol

jadza thats amazing, definitely gives me hope.

I feel like its never gonna be possible for us. My doc said metformin should be enuf to get me pregnant but nothing happened so far. So im afraid clomid is gonna be the same story.


I started opks yesterday, and CD8 yesterday i got a decent line. Not positive but so close. But im confused why so early Because my LH:FSH ratio is high, before met i would have faint line on my opks all times. But last two cycles on met, i got clear opks until ovulation. So i donno why im back to getting lines on my opk way before ovulation.

Golden i can totally understand how you're feeling. The hallmark of pcos is the uncertainty of your cycles of what will work, everything. But try to remain hopeful.

Sorry i dont know much about met. Could it be you're body is just gearing up to o in the next few days?

I have some big news.... got a bfp yesterday. First cycle. Was 100% sure i was in for the long haul ttc and had just placed an online order for tests and ovularion strips! Still in quite a bit of shock.

OMG u keeping the most important part to end! Thats amazing hun, congrats! what dpo were u yesterday? You didnt even have to diet this time hihihi

 

[krissie328]

Congrats tweety!

 

[tweetybird818]

I dont even know the timing. I hadnt even tried to monitor because i figured it would take awhile to even begin ovulating again. But i have been on the diet for about 3 weeks and takiny the prenatals and royal jelly (the same three things that eventually worked first time round).

I took a digi and it predicts I'm around 4 to 5 weeks

Im gonna try royal jelly too! did u take the pill form or jelly?

 

[krissie328]

What is royal jelly suppose to help with?

 

[GoldenRatio]

I googled for hours and it sounds amazing lol especially for pcos, supposed to help with fertility. Im gonna try to give DH too, helps with sperm quality.

"Royal jelly is excreted from the top of a bee’s head and is collected in what’s called a queen cell (a special honeycomb). When bee larvae are first born, they are fed royal jelly directly from the workers in order to get a healthy, nutritious boost so they survive their first few days of life. However, after 3-4 days, larvae no longer consume royal jelly. However, for potential queen bees, royal jelly is far more important. In fact, queen larvae are put into these special queen cells and are surrounded by royal jelly. This is what helps them to develop their “queen morphology”."

Benefits of Royal Jelly

Blood Pressure
Cholesterol Levels
Infertility Issues
Cancer Prevention
Inflammation
Premature Aging
Weight Loss Effects
Metabolic Activity

I wanna be Queen B surrounded by royal jelly

 

[GoldenRatio]

tweetybird let me know which royal jelly u used, gonna get some accordingly.

 

[krissie328]

That sounds like good stuff. I might have to check into it some more.

For this cycle I think I'm going to do my usual supplements and clomid. Nothing fancy. If it is unsuccessful then I will probably add black cohosh back into the mix.

oh u got clomid ready to go? Since im already half way this cycle, and getting clomid next cycle, i may take royal jelly if clomid fails first cycle.

 

[krissie328]

Yes, I have 3 more rounds in my dresser. For some reason the pharmacy issued the entire prescription at once.

 

[GoldenRatio]

That's nice! I hope I get mine all at once too.

Do you think my opk is positive today?

 

[krissie328]

I don't think it's quite positive yet.
