PCOS Buddies (10 BFP)

[sarah2211]

Welcome drjo

So we have decided if it's not a BFP this cycle we will freeze some sperm. DH is going to be most likely deployed for a few months and we will start IUI with a frozen sample. If he doesn't go, we will probably start IUI in the next few months.

I had my doctor's appointment today. I was expecting the news.. so basically the hospital I am at is all tapped out. I now have to be referred to a fertility specialist. Our closest one is 2 hours away! With work and everything I can really only manage to go during the summer when I'm off. So I'm aiming to get our first visit over spring break and pursue probably injects and iui in the summer.

In the mean time my doctor gave me 3 more rounds of femara to try.

I'm really just so over this. I'm thinking instead of femara taking my lydia pinkham and low carb diet to lose weight so that's not an issue at the fertility clinic.

Oh Krissie, so sorry that there aren't any other options locally. Keeping my fingers crossed for you x

Sarah - that must be so hard but it is good to have a plan. Hope it works xx

Krissie- sorry to hear you have to go to the specialist. Fingers crossed you won't need to be there long.

Afm, I did a little research on whether I could start femara at any time, or if I HAD to induce a period first. I haven't had one postpartum, and I really am dreading it for some reason. I mean, people get pregnant naturally without having a postpartum period first, so what difference would there be? Plus I've been having ovulation signs lately, which might just be my body trying to balance out the hormones, but I'd rather just give my body one more week to try to ovulate on its own than start provera. (Plus, who wants a Christmas period...lol.) So long story short, I'm planning to start femara on Dec 14 if nothing else has happened by then. That will give me about 3 chances before we may take a break in order to avoid having a baby due around next Christmas. (And bonus, it'll give me Thanksgiving off next year...that's my holiday to work lol.)

Good luck drjo!!

I am going to be taking a more natural route for the next 3 months and then probably nothing until May. I think focusing on getting healthier in the long run will be what is best for this situation. I do have 3 rounds of clomid that I keep telling myself if I can get to a specific weight that I will try a round and see how it goes.

Krissie - sucks you have to wait to see a specialist, but I have my fingers crossed you get a sticky bean before then! I hope going a more natural route and focusing on your health will help!

drjo - good luck!

AFM, cd7 of my last cycle before trying! Can't believe how fast that went. Next AF should start at the beginning of January sometime. I've changed some of my vitamins around so hoping it doesn't throw things off too much. Freaking out is an understatement! I don't remember freaking out this much before trying for dd, but I didn't have a child at home to consider. Worrying how a difficult pregnancy and being sick will affect her and how a new baby will affect her and worrying about giving her the same attention while being sick and pregnant and having a newborn. I just try not to think about it lol

 

[krissie328]

I hear ya on the worry about DS now that we have a child. Things I never considered before having him. I think all those things really don't outweigh the relationship of having a sibling. So I try to focus on that aspect more and figure it happens all the time and the children grow up just fine.

 

[KylasBaby]

Oh I definitely agree. I know she will adjust - we all will. And it will be a bit rocky to get there, but she won't remember it at all. Still makes me sad to think about right now. Although I don't really agree about the benefits of having a sibling. To this day my brother and I have never played together. Just didn't happen. We never had a good connection. Though he's an unmedicated bipolar with a host of issues so I'm sure that plays into it. But I'm hoping for another girl as I know a bond between sisters is like no other.

 

[krissie328]

See I have a sister and have a good relationship. So I definitely see that as a benefit. Dh and his brother grew up close. Now as adults their personalities are so different they don't really have that connection. But as children they did.

 

[KylasBaby]

I know a lot of close same sex siblings and close opposite sex siblings so I think it's down to individuals. Though I see a lot more of the same and that are closer and a lot of opposite who aren't.

 

[KylasBaby]

How's everyone doing? Anyone still check this thing?

Currently 3dpo! Got our donations in 2 and 4 days before O! We're using the same donor we did for dd. The donations for her were 8 and 5 days before O so feeling pretty good about our odds!

 

[krissie328]

That's fantastic Kyla. Fx you get your bfp.

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Fx'd Kyla. Looks like Sarah got a bfp! X

 

[sarah2211]

Yup! I got my BFP, third Clomid cycle. I'm 8weeks 5 days!

 

[May55]

I always check.. silently.. 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow and fingers still crossed tightly for all you ladies

 

[KylasBaby]

Got my bfp yesterday! Still early, but feeling positive

 

[sarah2211]

Congratulations!!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Congrats everyone! Great to see so many bfps

 

[drjo718]

Congrats ladies!

I took 7.5mg of Femara this month, and I don't think I ovulated. First time not responding to femara. not sure what the next step will be.

 

[KylasBaby]

Not thinking this pregnancy will have a happy ending. Tests aren't getting darker. I'm thinking most likely a chemical.
