[AppleMuffins]

Sorry about th bfns I test soon Sunday. This morning I woke up with the feeling that this just isn't my month and the feeling has stuck with me all day. I just don't think this is our month. Hope it is and maybe I'll get some symptoms or temp spike to change my mind but I feel out even though af is still a few days away yet.

Well after my little rant this morning, ive just taken an opk and this is the result I got....i didnt do one yesterday so I dont know if its the surge going up or down at the moment - will be doing another one tonight to check, what do you girls think?..lots of bding for me
Im so happy ive not had a positive opk in over 2 years

 

[babysiew]

Thanks for asking girls... Seeing a doctor this Friday Thx!

 

[AppleMuffins]

Well I'm out. Negative frer yesterday plus two major temp drops. A bit of spotting started this morning. Af is definitely imminent. At least it was a pretty good cycle considering I ovulated in a timely manner and had a normal lp. On to next month.

 

[wanna_bump]

sorry to hear that applemuffins - better luck next time. as you said atleast you got a good cycle length. Hope your having a good holiday vic...jelous!

After my nearly + opk yesterday my temp hasnt shifted yet ideally i'll get a definate + today or tomorrow then see a change in my chart. I hope its not my pcos taunting me x

 

[kmr1763]

Can I join in with you ladies? I mostly lurk on the HPT forum, but am getting a little down watching all the lines!

My name is Katie, I'm 26. TTC #2.... Haven't been on BC since ttc ds, back in 2008. Now, starting to get discouraged. Got pregnant with ds on Clomid, wanted to try something herbal, but I read mixed reviews out there. Currently on Vitex for a week, on CD 4. I'm a "skinny" cyster.

I'm about to go through and read through the entire thread! Really hope you ladies don't mind me posting, it's been a long road and would love a support group!

 

[wanna_bump]

It's so nice to talk to someone, I tell you what! First time round I started TTC in October 2008, when I got off of birth control. I didn't really realize I was having irregular cycles, I just assumed it would happen, but it didn't. In May 09, I went in to see my doctor, who did no diagnostics, just put me on Clomid, and I got pregnant on the third round. Never went back on birth control after DS was born, and again it never happened, and I went back to having irregular cycles (14 day cycles.). Got on Clomid in October 2011, I ovulated but didn't get pregnant, then family emergency and out of town for a few months, back on Clomid April 2012, then off again as hubby was having medical problems at the time. Now I'm going all natural because we are about to move, and I'm hoping to regulate cycles all on my own, with OTC remedies. Vitex is my herb of choice at the moment, along with fertilitea. So fingers are crossed that my body will regulate with minimal intervention, now that I'm being forced to have patience! That's the story in a nutshell No meds, just the vitex. Are you guys doing things naturally? By rx? I WANT metformin, but my obgyn told me no-- now I'm just waiting to get down to Louisiana so I can see another doctor and get a different opinion.

 

[wanna_bump]

sounds like you've been through the mill a bit then. I was finally diagnosed and got medication after like 7 months and many blood tests, scans ect (took about a year in total) they told me something I had known since ttc! lol but nevermind. I was given metformin and it seems to be doing the trick so far. Im not taking anything apart from that, I tried vitex but I personally didnt notice any changes..it done miricles for some people though. So why did your doctor not prescribe you it? was there a reason? x

Because I am underweight, she thinks I'm not insulin resistent. I have read that all women with PCOS are IR to some extent though.. Although I've brought up metformin with every visit and it doesn't get me anywhere! Hubby is in the military, and going through medical retirement process right now, which is why I've let go of further assisted conception right now. If I can't get anything going before he is officially out, I will get into a new doctor and ask for IR testing! And I guess if that doesn't pan out, I'll go on Clomid again. I know I'm lucky in that I know I can get pregnant, even if it takes a little more work than normal-- but I have my pity pot days when I wish I was just like the normal women out there who seem to get pregnant within a few months of trying-- because everything works the way it should! URGH! LOL I am not on the pity pot today, so I should let it go. Hubby and I have leased out our current home, and are in the process of buying a new home in Louisiana, in the same town as both our parents, so I will try to have patience til we can try in earnest again!

I really want to give metformin a try-- In fact, I might very well get in right when I get settled next month to the endocrinologist and see if I can have some tests done straight away...
