hello everyone:wave:

can i join your pcos club please

i found out through bloodtest results that i have pcos on the 18th January & i went for the u/s scan's last thursday to confirm pcos & i found out that i have cysts.

i feel a bit down about it all right now, i have been ttc for just over 7yrs now with no luck at all and i only have only one fallopian tube due to an ectopic pregnancy when i was 18yrs old.

i start Metformin 8th March though, so thats a bonus
i'm hoping that i dont have too many side effects with it

Hi all

I would like to join your little posse.

I was diagnosed with PCOS and borderline diabetes last wednesday and started on metformin the same day. We have been TTC for 14 months and had no period in that time, although we had an early miscarriage in july 2010.

I am waiting for my appointment to come through with the gynae.

Had a bit of a breakdown about it all last week but starting to feel a little bit better now. My OH doesn;t really seem to understand and we have ended up having two huge fights about it all because he thinks that i am being ridiculous to be upset by the diagnoses and thinks that i am being defeatist! he just doesn;t understand that i feel defective, especially because he already has a child!

not really sure what the metformin will do, does it aide conception?

Good luck ladies xxx

Been referred to a gyno, just waiting for the appointment to come through!

Been finding it a little lonely tbh, my OH tries but he really doesn't get it, both my best friends have twins and all my other friends aren't ready to try yet!

Hello to all the new ladies :wave:

We've had lots of graduates from this thread so its great to have new ladies join!

Hi girls,

May I join you? We have been TTC baby #2 for just over a year now. I always had irregular cycles ranging from 35 to 100 days but we managed to concieve our little girl naturally. Second time round it aint going so well. We concieved twice within the first 5 mths but sadly lost both our little beans. Since Aug last year I have had one AF and we FINALLY got our diagnosis of PCOS this week. I am very releived as I have suspected it for a while.

DH will be having a SA but after that its Clomid-ago-go. For some reason they have decided Met won't work for me so its straight for the Clomid in late spring.

Would love to get to know some people who really 'get it'. Good luck on your journeys girls xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Clobo]

Keep your chins up, it will be your turn soon! I felt lonely and didn't know who to talk to but on here you can say anything or ask anything and some will always be here for you!

It's good that you have been referred as there are waiting lists and so best to get in there as early as possible! They will be able to help, I was put on clomid straight away and it made me ovulate! Read my journal and update posts if you want to see my story.

Lea, I'm ok thanks, chilling tonight in front of the tv, specialist appt went well and he said I can try one more round of clomid while I wait for my op, yay!

How about you? Xxx

 

[SweetJennie]

Blah. My appointment went horrible. My OH's SA was so low the doc asked me if we freezed it or did anything with it before bringing it in! argh. He wouldn't tell me the exact numbers and wants us to have the test ran again to confirm the results before anything else and I have to see him again in one month. I am so upset. This all seems too much. PCOS, one blocked tube and sperm problems? I don't know how much more bad news I can take. The doc said in the mean time, based on the test, we need at least 3-4 days between BDing at least.

as for me
Af Has just hit me, soz for tmi im just waiting for full flow but its there... Omg i hate how our bodies does this to us.. 6 days late, the last time my body done that to me was years ago, i was convinced i was preg.. I feel like .. Oh well its not like i've been doing this 2 mins its almost 8 yrz so i shouldnt even expect i dont see it coming for me ever...

Ill call my Dr tomoz to see if i have an appt yet with the Fs. see if that helps me at all...

i really hope the second SA results turn out better. They usually want to do a second test anyway to make sure to cover user error.

 

[Clobo]

Aw Jennie, what a nightmare, its the waiting around for all these things to happen that makes it all seem even worse. You never know this may be your cycle and you wont need to worry about all those problems. Are you going to have your blocked tube treated??

Lea - so sorry the came, what a nightmare ... i really cant imagine trying for 8 years although i know what you mean when you cant see it happening ... i feel the same, like you look into your future and cant "see it" ... I bet you are the queen of picking yourself up and carrying on, i really hope the FS will be able to find out what the problem is and solve it easily for you chick.

Ive been referred to have a laparoscopy to check my tubes and for endometriosis etc ... im glad i can have one more go at the clomid in the meantime though, especially as husband heard the FS say we have to have lots of , im not going to tell him when im ovulating so he doesnt feel the pressure!!

It WILL happen for us and soon enough we will be seeing our probably when we least expect it if Sarah and Becca are anything to go by from the OBND thread!!!!

Big hugs chick xxxx

 

[MariaF]

Oh Jennie - Im so sorry about OH's results

Ive not had the best start to the year - also lots of bad news both ttc and non-ttc related and every week I keep thinking can it get any worse?! And it does

When is he re-testing? How long have you abstained for before the last test? He didn't have a cold/fever in the few weeks before the test, did he? Does he smoke/drink/keep laptop on his knees, etc?

With my DH the morphology was only 8% first time round although all other parameters were good. Yet in 6 weeks morphology went up to 17%!

So I will just keep my fingers crossed that your OH's results will improve next time round!!!

Reading through this thread I feel two things; sadness that other people are going through the same thing as me, noone should ever have to go through this and relief that other people are going through this.

This whole thing has put strain on my friendships and also on my relationship with my OH, because he doesn't really get it and makes assumptions. I have a stinking cold but am feeling a little bit positive today, things are starting to move for me and with the gyno appointment on the scene I think that we can move forward further.

Even in the day that i have been mooching around this forum it has truly made me feel less alone, so thanks ladies

 

[Clobo]

Im glad we can be of help to you, yuo will soon make friends here and have all your questions answered!

Make sure you take along your OH to your appointment with your gyno if you can as you both need to be there really. Ask loads of questions and dont leave till you are satisfied they are doing something to help you!

I agree, I always feel the same, glad im not alone in my problems but sad that others have to go through it too.

Big hugs mate xxx

 

[wannabemummyb]

Thank Clo, my OH has been to all my appointments with me, even GP appointments. He is a good guy, just doesn't always understand how it feels, but we work through it! Communication is the key
