PCOS Club!

[ineedaseed]

Hi Ladies

Thought i would do a thread so we could all congregate if we wanted to. PCOS club doesnt have quite the same ring as clomid club so any new ideas for the title would be much appreciated!

So for those of you who dont know me, i finally managed to get a locum doc to refer me for a transvag and bloods after several years of trying and painful periods. cysts were picked up on the scan and i am just waiting for bloods via the fs. i am on metformin and touch wood have been lucky with the side effects, just the odd dizzy spell or upset tummy! xx

The cyst society?

The cyst society?

Ha ha! Love it! How about the 'PCOS Posse'?!

I was finally diagnosed a couple of months ago after going private and TTC for a year. My first round of Clomid resulted in a BFN so onto round 2 after I take Norethisterone to induce af. Oh the joys

I like the idea of a club for us tho! yay

I had one monday so very very painful.. but was supposed to start AF today and so far nothing I thought I saw a little pink earlier but nothing now.. the dr did a test mon to see if I was preggers but came back BFN however wondering if it would have been to early scared that this might hurt lo if he/she is in there.. please help

Cami- I had an HSG a few years ago and OW! I would imagine that they would've seen a LO if there was one in there. The HSG can screw your cycle up a bit, it did mine.

So, here's some hope for y'all that don't know me...I have PCOS, got diagnosed when I was 16 and told that I'd never have kids. Get married and we start trying, 2 years later I get a new OB and they do a gammet of tests of course; HSG, made me have my gall bladder out, fertility testing, etc...they end up putting me on Clomid and provera. First month I ovulated so yay! No baby, but that's common on the first month. The second month they tell me that I did NOT ovulate. I decide with DH that we're going to wait a bit longer before upping the dose of clomid cause the side effects for me were AWFUL and we had just joined a fire department and were starting to get really active and I was starting training. Yea...two weeks later I found out I was PG with Charlotte. We had just had our last home visit from an adoption service that we were looking into. For the ssecond pregnancy we were using protection and I still managed to get pregnant with Austin when Char was 14 weeks old, lol. I had a c-section with him and a tubal ligation and STILL got pregnant again when Austin was 8 weeks old, sadly that one ended in miscarriage, but still happened. There IS always hope!!!

Hello Ladies I like both ideas about for the titles.
I was dx with PCOS five years ago. I did the doctor thing for the first four and half years or I should say the all of it but for the last seven months. I am doing herbal med to see if I can get my BFP. My doctor told me I was never going to have a period so I am bound and determined to give it a try.

Thank you pitbullmommy for sharing your story it gives me hope. I know there are several women who have PCOS and still get preggo.

Good luck every one. And I am in

 

[redrose27]

Yes twenty five is great that means you Od. If that is the test they done. I am a nurse. From the sound of it thats what they looked for.

Thanks, im 12dpo and have been using the 10mIU HPT, not even a hint of a line. Hey ho, roll on next month x x

 

[ineedaseed]

grrrr sorry sazzaroo

am confused.com, apparently they measure progesterone on two scales so one says to confirm ov it should be over 15 and the other over 30, so until i know how its measured i am clueless again! why is nothing straightforward?
