PCOS Buddies (10 BFP)

[GoldenRatio]

I survived on ready salted crisps and flat lemonade between 6-12 weeks pregnant. A bit of extra sugar so you are not symptomatic is better than you feeling dizzy etc x

ah u had morning sickness?

New to thread but need advice?

My last AF was 5/30-6/4. My fw was 11th-17th on Fertility Friend and 13th-18th on another site. My O day on FF was 16th and on the other it was 18th. I have PCOS but my cycles have been stable for months now. AF WAS due on 7/2 or 7/3. I am now 10 days late for AF with 2 BFN's on $1 store cheapies .

I'm wondering if I should buy a digital test or wait it out a little longer?
I DTD on 6/3, 6/4, 6/5, 6/9, 6/14, 6/15, 6/17, 6/19, 6/22, 6/25 and 6/27.

I have a lot of pregnancy symptoms but I know it could be PCOS. My breasts are sore and achey, headaches, creamy CM really bloated etc.

Golden- your body is more sensitive to insulin in early pregnancy. It levels off about 12 weeks. Then about 24 weeks your body becomes more insulin resistant.

I took met through my entire pregnancy because I have horrible insulin resistance. Definitely talk with your doctor. But metformin is used to help reduce the risk of gestational diabetes.

 

[krissie328]

Angel- can your doctor give you a blood test? I'm not sure a digital would be sensitive enough to get a positive.

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Angel - I agree with Krissie. If dollar store cheapies aren't showing anything then digitals won't. If you're not tracking your ovulation by temp or opks then it's hard to tell and it will be a waiting game unfortunately x

Golden - I had constant nausea but only vomited twice! X

CD23 update: Considering I've woken up 2hrs early this morning... What do you ladies think to this chart? They've been stable this cycle since I temped vaginally. Missed a few when I was ill and they have been a few hours out but still! Had my darkest opks and EWCM yesterday.

Hoping this is it! Would be the first time this year!

Sorry ladies - not sure why it's come up so big

 

[krissie328]

Looks quite promising Betty!

My doctor told me to not stop Met before 12 weeks for sure..and the last time i saw the endo, who had originally told me to stop as soon as i found out i was pregnant, I asked him, he asked the head doctor and he said there is no issue taking it and that he agrees to stay on till 12 weeks... At 12 weeks the placenta does a lot of the work, our hormones are no longer a HUge factor for the baby like in the start. I also asked about the symptoms that i have of low blood sugar.. i get headaches, dizzyness etc..and eating just a fruit helps.. he said the metformin should not drop my blood sugar but simply stabilize it.

 

[krissie328]

Yep, metformin shouldn't cause low blood sugar. It's more likely your body's increased sensitivity.

Even I had low to normal blood sugar in early pregnancy and I usually have higher sugars.

Im gonna ask the gyno if i should continue after 12 weeks. Endo said 12 weeks but not sure because i think im insulin resistant.

Hi Ladies,

Hoping I can join you all. What a frustrating time this is... Have any of you been prescribed provera AFTER taking clomid?

I was prescribed Clomid from CD 2 - 6, scan on CD 11 showed 1 good egg but FS said that my lining was thin and prescribed provera from CD 13 to CD 33...

Anyone had a similar prescription?

 

[krissie328]

Maybe- yes, I have been prescribed prometrium to start after o. It helps to to thicken lining. I also have low progesterone and have had two chemicals so we're hoping this helps us getting our sticky bean.

Just make sure you have o'd otherwise it can delay o.

 

[Betty.Rubble]

False alarm. Didn't ov. Contemplating to stop temping and OPKs and just NTNP until I've seen gynae.

Would they actually want to see my charts?

 

[krissie328]

Betty- my doctor listened to what I said about my charts but never looked at them. I'm not sure he really used the info at all.

 

[GoldenRatio]

My doc never looked at my charts, but he was only and endocrinologist so maybe gyno might look at it. Couple girls on bnb mentioned that their gyno looked at their charts.

Btw i had my first scan yesterday, the jelly bean is doing well was measuring 7w6d (i calculated 8w2d) so it was hard to put my tracker back 3 days but im happy to see the baby is right on with 176hb. I will see my gyno on monday to talk about the scan and book my next scans and tests. FX everything goes well.

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Great news Golden! X

Thanks ladies. Might just see how I feel in the morning. X

 

[AngelWings215]

I'm 13 days late for AF and I've had 2 BFN'S on $1 store cheapies. Seems like I'm finally trying to start AF as I wiped pink when I went to the bathroom. It'll probably be at full flow by morning 😢😢😢

I really thought this was it this time. Oh well. .... taking another shot again after I'm done with this cycle

 

[krissie328]

So sorry Angelwings.

I think I am getting ready to o. I have watery cm and my ovary is starting to hurt. So keeping everything crossed I get a positive opk soon. We've had good timing on bding so I'm optimistic we are doing all we can.

 

[PrincessTaz]

Angel wings I'm sorry af came

Golden I wouldn't have changed my ticket because measurement that early aren't as accurate. That's why we do dating scans between 11 and 14 weeks here. I couldn't totally change on your next scan.

Krissie good luck, I'm praying this month is going to be your sticky bfp.

I also had a scan on Tuesday as I'd been having bad cramps and everything ws prefect. I measured 6 weeks and I was 6+1 and we saw a tiny little heartbeat flickering away. I know it's still very early days but I have so much hope for this pregnancy. My next scan is on Tuesday x

Oh Great, hopefully O'd before I started taking it!!

Going for bloods on CD21 so we will see!
