Hiya

I have pcos and finding it hard at the moment to talk to people! We have been ttc for 4 & 1/2 years and its very much head vs brick wall.

Just need ears and advise from someone in the same situation

Hey, Mump. I have PCOS as well. I have a son, who will be three in March. He was conceived after a year if trying and on my third clomid cycle... First postpartum cycle was when he was a year old, and about when we were ready to start trying again... So the ttc journey has been nearly two years long now. Ugh. I've been on Clomid, off Clomid, then back on again. Most recent bout of Clomid must have jump started something. I took it back in April and I have been ovulating on my own since then. I just started taking a supplement called Fertility Blend, and I'm having a ton of cm (tmi, but it excites me! Woohooo!) and now am waiting to o.

Do you ovulate on your own? What are your cycles like? Are you medicated?

Hiya,

I'm currently on metformin to assist with hormones and weight my BMI is currently 34.5 and the gp has said he will not give me clomid until my BMI is under 30 I've been dieting since Jan09 and its been a yoyo journey we've been trying since may08 and as of yet I don't think I have ovulated properly!!! My cycles can range from 18 days to 65. I'm currently on day 36 of my current cycle and I did a hpk on the 24/12 with resulted in a BFN I'm just gutted that the gp/NHS don't actively help people like me that are finding the weight thing hard and or not helping just making the heart ache longer to deal with

Pcos sucks!!!!

Hi jump I am right there with you. I have been told numerous times that I have Pcos until my new gyno told me I didn't. I went to a fertility specialist who then told me I did so I'm lost with the back and forth. Weight is also a big factor for me n dh and I'm tired of yoyoing. I want a baby and it seems no one really wants to help me.

Omg trying, its like hearing myself talk reading ur post - how sucky are gp/gyno! Me and my Hubz have been ttc since may 2008 and if I'm completely honest it's taken over my life

I think we need to stick together and come up with plan I'm trying so hard to get my bmi to 29 so I can have clomid it's currently 34/35 are u on any diets or find any diets that work well for you?? Weight is a very big issue for me I get depressed as soon as I wake up and look in the mirror

I have to say i JUST jumped back on the ban wagon! I ordered a cook book that was for healthy eating, but fertility boosting. Once I get it in I will let you know if it's any good. I am also changing our diets (both mine and hubs) COMPLETELY. It's so much easier when you have someone to go through it with you. I can sit down tonight and type out everything that I have found so far and give you links to the things I've found. PM me your email address if you'd like and we can chat through there. We can bounce ideas off each other. I also ordered a fertility yoga dvd. I have a hard time sticking to the gym on a normal basis so I'm going to try this out and see how it goes!

PCOS can be a challenge for sure, can you share a few more specifics so we can more properly help out your specific situation?

 

[Mump_hopeful]

oh yea yea!

history:
i started my cycle at the age of 9 the first year was absolutely normal and then after a while my mum noticed i wasnt as regular as a should be (she asked me to tell her when i was on) so when i was 14 i was diognosed with PCOS as this time i had no symptoms no excess hair weight gain etc however the weight developed at 16 and then the hair at 17/18 since then i have to have a facewax! every 3-4 weeks not only painfull but costly (compared to "normal ppl")

i met my husband at 18 and a year later knowing i may have issues concieveing we started trying in May 2008 we have attended meetings at 4 different hospitals in 2 counties. but as my BMI is 34/5 they are not prepared to help untill its down to 29 max gutted.

i have been slimming since jan 09 and have lost 1 stone with slimming world in 5 years!!!!! WTF

i find it alittle hard to talk to mum and hubs about how it makes me feel because i know theres nothing they can do but it did all come to a head just after xmas as i found out 3 of my work colleague are pregnant to which i responded fairly badly and suggested to hubs that maybe its not supposed to be and maybe he should find the person who can give him it all - i must stress i DIDNT WANT THIS AT ALL and it was completely my mood swings that caused this.

this episode has been a huge kick up the butt because i am so determined to loose the 2.5stone but i like a said i have tried slimming world/Weight Watchers/Cambridge/Exante (hated these) so now im goin to try calorie control which trying has linked in with me to keep an eye on me!!

its just fustrating
