Pcos buddies?

[lupinerainbow]

Hey i have recently been diagnosed with PCOS and i have been TTC for nearly 4 years. My cycles are regular (between 26-35 days) but i need to have more bloods done to know if i ovulate or not (assuming i dont because if i do and i havent managed to get pregnant in all that time then i am just seriously unlucky) had a few months of TTC just relaxing and not using anything but now i'm gonna go back to the fertilty specialist and see what they want the next step to be, hoping that i fall this cycle though.

Well, I may not have made it clear, but my point wasn't just the losing weight, while that does help alot of women my point was that eating a bit less carbs makes your blood sugar better which can really make a difference in other hormones!

And yes, doing it for this for helping to lower sugars and help hormones just making minor changes are exactly what you want to do!!

Welcome to our new peeps 4 years ttc lupinerainbow? How have you stayed sane? lol

So do you think you have ov'd then kmr? Vic - how are you hunni, any signs of anything?

I've been a bit emotional today, almost cried a couple of times but its been a stressy day with one thing and another - just cant wait to crawl in to bed tonight, I'd have a beer if i wasnt on the 2ww! x

 

[kmr1763]

No sign of o based on temps... And I trust temps more than anything! So no... Stressful here too, moving our furniture into storage and getting ready to move cross-country! Tired just thinking on it...

How many dpo are you now wanna?? Still too early for testing, or no?

 

[wanna_bump]

still too early, im only 4dpo...going to do my best and hold out until 14dpo :s not sure if i will or not lol x

You have will power! I'd be starting at 8dpo and probably several times a day haha! I'm excited bigtime for you to test!!!! Even think I will order some ics soon just to prepare. I have a feeling vitex isn't doing much, so when I get to LA, I'm going to pursue metformin!!! I feel like I need to demand attention. My temps are looking funky... Sh and I have been bding every other day, and I guess we will try to keep at it until I (IF I) get a temp shift.

wanna_bump- The trick was i was never sane in the first place but seriously it has been hard! But we are determined and know what we want, i feel it has brought us closer as a couple. I get my down days where i feel sorry for us but i'm sure our time will come when it is ready. The longer the journey gets in some ways it gets easier because eventually your hope is not so much so you kind of deal with it better if that makes sense? Good luck with testing! really hope you get your bfp!

kmr- If you are stressed and moving cross-country i am guessing you will probably ovulate late this cycle. Hope it comes quickly for you though!

Guessing i am 1 ot 2 dpo but i might not have ovulated yet... thats if i do ovulate of course so going to carry on with bd'ing for another few days, also got heatstroke which is lovely!

Thank you for the encouragement! Ovulation is very rare for me, though, so I'm not expecting much!!!

Your positivity is enlightening. I'm sure you will persevere! It's hard sometimes to see the forest through the trees... I know that I'll have another child at some point, but it's difficult to think that when the difficulties are nearby every day. I love your optimism! And I can't wait til dh is retired and has moved home so we can start trying seriously! Right now it doesn't seem like it's likely at all! Another rant. We are going through clothes and deciding what to store and not to store and I needed a break lol.

[kmr1763]

Yep I was hoping for some decent temps this cycle, but it's gone all funky so I've stopped hoping for o! Now I just want to make my move so I can get into the doc!!

 

[wanna_bump]

Sorry to hear about the opks and hpts vic...dont give up though, something will happen eventually.

kmr is right when she said about how incredible your positivity is lupiner. its amazing how your ttc journey has brought you closer as a couple. It drives so many people apart. I was intially quite scared my husband would leave me to be with a woman who was 'working' and he had the same fears when he was going for his SA tests!

Nothing really to say bout me..still getting af type cramps which is annoying me now! But temps are still alright..not as high as I would like/expect x

cheers hun, im trying! lol time seems to be going slowly.Keep thinking how i'll be if its a bfn again...or even a bfp :/ im not used to this 2ww malarky! lol x

 

[Vic20581]

Lol its easy for me to give u advice coz iv never been in a proper tww, mines have always been dodgy looking ones on ff, where the temps arnt high n no +opk. i wil prob b the exact same as u. Jus the thought of gettin a bfp at the end of a tww jus seems impossible. Sometimes i jus think its not ever gonna happen. But we got to stay positive, or we have no chance do we. x

 

[Vic20581]

I forgot to say.
Iv been on met for over 3 wks now n im sooo ill. Everytime i eat anything i want to throw up, wen i havnt eaten n im hungry i want to throw up, im on the loo like 3/4 times a day, its not gd, im only on 1000mg. I darnt even think about goin up to 1500mg.
Does anyone else feel like this, n if so, how long did it last.
Is this how u lose weight on it lol, as u give up eatin. Lol
Vic x

 

[wanna_bump]

we do..i try to stay as positive as i can. It would be so easy to feel negative and bitter.
Proper bored tonight, my hubby is away tonight so im all on my lonesome didnt want too but watching that ian brady thing on ch4...x

Vic x

lol...i was lucky not to experience many symptoms - my advice would be to 'power through' look at me..not had an af/ov in atleast 6/7 months then did stay on the 1000mg for a bit longer then go up to 1500 x

 

[Vic20581]

Yeh iv been reading that it says go back to 500mg again, n then go back up to 1000mg wen better, but im thinkin if i do that i will jus start at thebeginnin of bein ill again. Yeh gonna jus carry on. Wen in the day do u take urs n do u take it with food?
Im alone tonite too, watchin cop squad lol. Got to go to a hosp apt tomo for allergy testing, as 2 mths ago suddenly got asthma again after not havin it for yrs, n then i had like 8/9 episodes of asthma n allergy attacks which led to me havin anaphylaxis shock, had to go hosp twice last mth for emergency trestment, have to carry a epipen with me now. So hope tomo to find out wat it is im allergic too. Sorry for the off topic ramble lol.

[wanna_bump]

ohh thats serious, bet that was so scary..hope you get sorted tomorrow then. Dont worry about going off topic..its good to get away from ttc for a bit! anything to take my mind off the 2ww!

I take the met usually with brekfast (if I have it, if not lunch) then at tea time. Right after ive eaten. Sometimes i even just have 1 weetabix or an apple and thats enough so it doesnt irritate me. Its crap your having a bad time with it x

 

[Vic20581]

Yeh it was scary, hubby called ambulance out, had nebuliser, a canular, steroids, adrenalin. Drip, N stayed the night in the hosp. Nex time, hubby took me up hosp but nebuliser n steroids sorted it. N All the others i dealt with myself. If it happens now i take 8 steroid tablets, a antihistine, 2 puffs of brown steroid pump, n 8 puffs of blue pump, if throat still closin n hard to breath then inject epipen into my thigh n call ambulance. Lol sounds a right shit dont it lol. It aint fun lol.
N ontop of this ttc, but havin a shit time with hubbi. Me twistin my ankle, i have fibromyalgia, n a dizzy migraine condition. U may wonder y i even wanna get preg lol. But have done for yrs, n i js get on with things as u do lol.
