PCOS Club

'All the PCOS ladies'

Hello

I am back after a few months TTC break and have seen that on this group there are a few clubs for different things like clomid and IVF. I wondered if there are enough PCOS ladies out there who are not at the IVF stage who wanted to join this thread so we can moan about metformin, weight loss, irregular cycles and any other problems you may be having?

My name is Sarah and I have been married and TTC for nearly 3 years now. Diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago and having some problems with treatment and my FS at the moment. Hoping to loose some weight and get back on the TTC train after a short break and get that elusive BFP soon.

Hi Katy

Sorry to hear you have PCOS but glad you have joined thr thread.

Hope the op goes OK tomorrow, do you have local or general for that?

I am 29 and counting down to the big 3.0. in December. Also a big christmas fan!!

So good that you are ovulating, i assume you are not on meds then?

I have pcos was diagnosed 9 years ago. I have a lil on ewho is 2/12, took 8 months to concieve. I am now having really irregular periods, ovulating once every 3 months or so.

I have a question, when I am ovulating it is becoming more and more painful every time! Yesterday I couldnt wee or lie down as the pain and swelling was really severe, really making me wince. Does anyone else have this? I had a scan around xmas time and everything seemed fine then. Do you think I should go back to docs or is it just old scar tissue on ovaries causing pain?

xx

Hi My Bump

Great to 'meet' you, and from a selfish point of you view its great to know someone with a child already with PCOS.

I would go back to your GP hun, pain especially as it is getting worse should be checked out. I personally dont get pains but i know people with pcos do, but i just think if its getting worse it should be checked out.

Let us know how it goes.

Just watching xfactor.

Hello, what a good idea for us to have our own little corner to moan in lol

I'm 25 and have been ttc for 26 months. Was diagnosed with PCOS in January, although I've suspected it for years. Have done 5 rounds of clomid which I did not respond well to. Currently on no meds.

hi Sarah.... well the big day has arrived for my HyCoSy!!! & to be honest part of me doesnt want it done....not because im worried about the procedure but im so nervous about if the tube is blocked/damaged.....i spose we will know either way in 5 hrs time...aggghhh! Apparently i have to take 2 paracetomol half an hr b4 i go in to have it done & im awake! Heard its more uncomfortable than painful...time will tell hey! No im not on any meds...have heard of some women that take clomid even when ovulating tho as it can help produce better quality eggs????...if my tube is clear today then i may ask about clomid when i see the specialist on October the 22nd. The fertility specialist in august said i was ovulating & that husband sperm results were not good so advised him to take multivitamins which he has been...he has been taking fertile aid 4 men...ive made him stop having hot baths...& he has been going to the gym most days to lose weight too.

Would like to add that i have a nearly 4 year old daughter....the doctors cant tell how long i have had the polycysts for, i dont know if its linked to the cyst on my left ovary that i had removed when i was 2/3 days old....would love to know tho as if i have had the polycysts for years & years & i managed to conceive my daughter after 6 mths then hopefully we can do it again!!

We will all get in there in the end i am sure...xxxxxxx

Hi Mrs R

Thanks for posting, sound slike we have been trying for about the same amount of time.

Sorry the clomid didnt work, although its good you managed to give it a try. Did it have a bad effect of just that you didnt get a BFP with it?

Sarah

I didn't respond to the clomid so I didn't produce any follicles, even on the highest dose, complete with all the lovely side-effects!

I'm off to my consultant tomorrow to see what the next step is, I'm so nervous! We have a lot riding on this app. tomorrow...if it doesn't go well we're going down the IVF route...scary stuff

Hi my name is Kim and I too have PCOS! I was dx'd with PCOS about 2 months ago. I am on 2000mgs of metformin and clomid 100mgs, this month. I am on CD 26. Hopefully I O'd this month, which I think I did. My DH has low morphology but that was after only one SA. I think we need another one in order for this to be proven true. Im in the 2WW, and plan to test on sunday!!! Wish us luck! Im praying for us all.
