PCOS Buddies (10 BFP)

[KylasBaby]

Hi!

Ive been on inositol for a couple months. Had 4 nice cycles. 2 32 days, 1 35 and 1 36.

I've also lost 40lbs recently. I'm hoping for another 11 to get to my goal then another 11 under that for my super goal so 22ish. Also low carb here although some days better than others. I'm wtt too.

Hi smurphy!
Welcome to the gang.

I feel ya on the no period thing. Been there, and although it's nice not to have to deal with it, it's also a pain when you are TTC!
I'm used to taking Provera every time I wanted a period... and went many many months not knowing what I was supposed to do.

I tried metformin for a while, and I just couldn't do it.
I tried low-carb, and I just love bread and pasta too much... But my weight has kinda evened out in the past few months while taking all my fertility pills.
I've done a round or two of Clomid, i didn't respond to it, so they switched me to Letrozol, and now I'm on the next dosage up of it.
5mg Letrozol FINALLY showed signs of ovulation, and I'm at the end of my first successful natural period in years!

The other girls have been taking other things I'm not familiar with, and they seem to be having success with it

Welcome smurphy! Great job on the weightloss. I am currently taking both inositol and metformin. So far things look good.

I was trying to do low carb but the last week has been so bad! Well not bad bad, more like I am not eating because I have been so sick and what I have ate has been crap. Oh well, hoping to get back to it soon.

My mom is going to take Christian tonight. I think its because I have been so sick and I am the only one at home at night. I am thankful for the break because I am just so exhausted. Maybe a good night's sleep will help kick this thing out.

I took a dollar tree opk to see if maybe mine were the issue. But it is just slightly darker than the control as well. I am really not sure why they are so dark still. Maybe with my illness I tried and am going to try again soon. Who knows, I am going to try not to let it stress me to much.

Krissie, you did just start the inositol right? Maybe it's working to sort things out?

Krissie, you did just start the inositol right? Maybe it's working to sort things out?

Yes, just over two weeks ago. I never did consider it could be that. I am still gonna keep bding until I get a clear thermal shift. At this point that is all I can really do.

I must admit the last two days I have felt so much better. Last night I was sick from 2:30-8 but that is an improvement from Thursday-Monday. Hoping I am truely on the mend now.

I think my ds is also getting some teeth. I was feeling around and it feels like his two bottom 2nd molars are barely popping through. But of course he won't let me look. He has been more needy lately so that could definitely be the reason.

Hope you're all okay ladies - just wanted to share some fab news. I am 99% sure I'm oving today. Never had such impressives OPK lines (20/30/40miu), EWCM and stitch pain on the left - backed up by my ultrasound on Thursday showing a dominant follicle on the left ovary!! So excited!

[krissie328]

Those are great lines Betty! Fx you catch that eggie!

How is everyone else doing?

My temps seems to be staying high so thinking I did ovulate. I'm not sure my progesterone is very high as my temps are hovering around the coverline. I'm super crampy today so fx that's a good sign!

 

[sarah2211]

That's exciting Betty. FX you can get lots of BDing in!

Krissie, that sounds promising too. FX for you

I'm currently on day 6 of 10 on provera. Then starting 100mg of Clomid on CD3-7. So much waiting!

 

[krissie328]

There always is waiting in this process! Drives me crazy.

Well I retract what I said earlier. I don't think I ovulated. I got a crazy positive opk today and a ton of ewcm. So pretty sure now is o time. And they follows my traditional o time around now.

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Not managed any BD since Thursday (O-3) unfortunately. OH is ill and tired so no chance of any more. Hope I'm in still in with a chance. Just hope I keep ovulating now after the first time in 11 months!

 

[krissie328]

How disappointing your dh is sick with your first o in so long. I've heard of many bfp with o-3 so fx you get your bfp this cycle!

 

[KylasBaby]

DD was 7 and 5 days before O so it's possible!

 

[sarah2211]

Oh Betty, I'm sorry. That's such bad timing. If my DH was in that position I'd make him BD haha. You're showing a lot of restraint by not telling him to man up and BD! Hope you O next month though. What have you been doing differently lately?

So much waiting. The other day DH said "I'm so f***ing sick of waiting". I said, "yeah all we can do is f***ing and waiting".

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Thank you ladies - I was wrong. He took me by surprise and we DTD last night So we managed O-3 and O! AF due around 28th. Will be testing 13/14dpo.

My OH has issues performing under pressure so I can't demand it tbh.

Only thing different is the metformin. I started it on CD5 of this cycle and now on CD49. Only managing 500mg once a day but it still seems to be helping!

 

[sarah2211]

Yay Betty! I've got fingers crossed for you!

I fell pregnant my first cycle on Metformin but haven't had any luck since, not even on Clomid.

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Sarah - I really hope the 100mg works for you. X

 

[krissie328]

That's fantastic Betty!

I had a major temp drop today so hoping that means today is o day.

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks Betty, I hope so too. I hope I at least O because that means we have a shot, even if it's just a BFN this cycle. Four more days of provera!

 

[smurphy90]

Hi ladies!

As I said, I did get AF for the first time in 6 months last week. It seemed like a normally, healthy one, so that made me happy. Realllly hoping the I'll O sometime in the next couple weeks. I'd love to have a <40 day cycle, but with my last three being 6 months, and 16 months apart, I don't have high hopes. I've been taking 2g inositol/day for the past week so I'm hoping it helps keep my cycle going.

 

[KylasBaby]

Cd20 today and no O yet. Thinking it'll be another cycle like last cycle where O was cd23. I can't really figure out why all of a sudden last cycle I took so long to O. 3 cycles before that O was always cd17-19. This morning (as I'm laying in bed since 4am because really now who needs sleep?) I remembered that I stopped taking my b complex when I was Oing earlier because I thought it might have been making me O late and wanted to see if stopping it would bring it forward. But could stopping it have pushed O back??
