Hi Ladies.

Can I join you in the baby-making trail? I'm 36, been diagnosed with PCOS for 14yrs, been trying for 10yrs, had 4 rounds of clomid-last round worked, and we had our 1st BFP, but sadly wasn't to be

2 weeks ago, my GP has said if I drop 2 stone by Easter, she will give me another 3 months worth at 100mg (which was the dose that gave us our BFP). I dropped 10lb in the 1st week so I'm a 3rd of the way already

Congrats to sma1588-that sure does look like a to me

HI everyone, i am new on here. I was diagnosed with pcos a few months ago after ttc for 3 1/2 years. I have a son who is nearly 5, whom was conceived naturally. Me and the OH are now desperate to add to the family. I have just completed my first month of clomid, and was scanned on friday. Doc told me i had a follicle measuring about 12-14cm, and it needs to get to about 20 to ovulate. I'm hoping and praying that i ovulate normally and get a soon. I feel bad that i have already got a healthy child, when some of you dont even have any yet, but i still have such a longing to hold another in my arms, good luck to you all

 

[so broody]

i would love to hear if any of you are in a similar position to me, and have been successful. Good luck and baby dust to you all

Well, a stark white BFN for me So the first IUI cycle failed.

I was half expecting it, but still feel crushed. I just don't think anything can help us. I guess IVF is the only hope. And although Im happy for everyone who go the BFP it doens't really help my mood knowing that most ladies who were in this thread from the beginning are now pg...

Firefox - did you have the ovarian Drilling? If you did, do you think it's helped with anything? Would love to hear some good things about the procedure.

So Broody - welcome to the the thread. Clomid has helped lots of ladies on here to get their BFPs....but not everyone. I hope it works for you!

 

[HoneyWright]

Im so so so sorry Maria I really am, I have been trying for 4 years so I really do know partly how you feel Still time though, lets see if AF comes.

Hi Ladies

I have two children age 8 and 5 - conceived first month of trying each time. Split from bloke 3 years ago (his fault) and went through sooo much stress and upset. Two years ago I met the man of my dreams and have been ttc for 12 months. I went to docs to have ovulation test - bloods and have just found out Im not ovulating...gutted and wracked with guilt as my DH has no children of his own. GP says all signs point to PCOS. First 'Infertility' (God I hate that word) appt is on Thursday.

So, sorry to ramble but can the newbie to PCOS join in too please? Feeling really fed up today. Trying really hard not to think about it too much but it is proving impossible.

Also, I bought a persona thingy (pre blood results) which so far has shown a red day every time I test. I have read this may by PCOS too. Periods can go 50 days inbetween and very painful but only last 2 days. Does this all sound similar? What should I expect on Thursday?

I'd be really grateful of any replies.
Thanks Jo xxxxxxxx

Hi everyone
Just wondered if any of you ladies have EWCM without ovulation?
Im on something like cd170 and have had EWCM a few times but no O! Had it a few days ago so dtd just incase but am confused if it really means anything?
Any advice would be great
Thanks x

 

[sma1588]

maria- im sooooo sorry, i wish u the best and i bet ure next just dont stress it to much. remember i was the one who thought they were out this month so maybe next time around if you try not to think about things it will be u on here waving your BFPS all over the place......if i could give u my bfp i would

 

[Lala1976]

So sorry to hear that Maria!! Fingers are still crossed for you though until you get AF!

It's been 4 weeks since my miscarriage and I'm still up and down like mad. Even though I wont see a specialist for 3 months, I thought I would chart until then so that i have a deeper understanding of my cycle. Well, for the past 5 days I've had +ve OPKs and yesterday my temperature spike started - up .3 yesterday and another .5 today. Hopefully it'll still be up tomorrow and if so it looks like i've ovulated, right?? They say you are more fertile after a miscarriage dont they?? DP and I have BD'd a few times over the passed week and I know I shouldn't get prego until I've had all the tests done but now it looks like i'm in the 2WW!! Like all of you lovely ladies, i just want my BFP and a sticky bean!!!

Thinking of you Maria.

Baby dust to everyone!!

Lara xx

 

[Stash777]

Maria. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you're not out. You still never know until AF shows

 

[Firefox]

Sorry that you havent had bfp yet maria, you arent out until af shows! Lets hope it is too early xx

Yes I've had ovarian drilling, I had it as I wasnt responding to clomid properly. The more clomid I took the less likely it became than I ovulated on it. I never ovulated myself before clomid and when taking it my LP was a bit all over the place, which has scared me big time for this cycle (my first clomid one since drilling) as im only 5 dpo with big time AF cramps. If the witch shows before I can even go for my 7dpo bloods, I'm screwed! Soo hoping it doesnt!

Anyway this is the summary that I used to have on my signature regarding my cycles to date:

1st Clomid Cycle, ov'd CD15, AF CD24, LP 9 days, BT bordeline ov 24.7mnl
2nd Clomid Cycle, ov'd CD16, AF CD28, LP 11 days, BT bordeline ov 17.6mnl
3rd Clomid Cycle, (100mg) ov'd CD17, AF CD23, LP 5days no ov 5.1mnl
OD Cycle ov'd 15days post op, AF CD22, LP 6 days

I would def say that the drilling is worth while if you do not ovulate on your own & didnt ov on clomid. My LP still wasnt right on my first natural cycle after the drilling which suggests that I probably didnt ov properly or my hormones in second half of cycle still werent right. Saying that though I still managed to do something that my body would not have done without the drilling, so its given me hope that I may respond better to the clomid now.....pleeeeeease!!!

If you check out the drilling success stories thread we've had two graduates this year so far...its def worth looking into.

 

[MariaF]

Thanks so much ladies!!! I sat there at work and literally huge tears were rolling down my cheeks. Luckily no one saw it and then I made up a story about a fever giving me teary eyes.

And now I feel a bit better thanks to all your support

Firefox - I don't ovulate on my own but showed all the obvious signs of ovulation on the Clomid and now the injectables. BUT I'm convinced that the eggs doesn't get through the ovarian capsul. So I do ovulate, the follicle bursts, corpus luteum starts producing progesterone but all this happens Within the ovary! So the capsul prevents the egg from getting into the fallopian tubes. Hence I'm so keen to have the drilling.

Not long to go, Firefox.

Honey - how are you?

 

[Firefox]

Glad you feel alot better

Hey that might be whats happening to me too!? Something is def not right with my suspected ov! Did you have LP problems at all?
