Hiya

No i didnt watch embarrassing bodies, started but it was too gross for me, also my laptop was so slow it was painful so i didnt bother in the end :dohh:

Kubb - Hopingnowsit is right, PCOS sufferers do well from eating a low GI diet, try looking it up online, its basically a few rules:

1. Eat wholemeal pasta, rice, bread etc
2. Low dairy
3. High protein (turkey, fish, eggs)
4. Lots of fruit and veg
5. Low alcohol and caffeine
6. Lots of water
7. Eat little and often
8. Eat Low GI foods (lists on internet)

It helps regulate our hormones too so hopefully helping ovulation!!! Good luck chick xxx
 
Embarassung bodies wasn't the great tbh. They just took her bloods said she wasnt that imbalances an gave her some meds for the hairless. Nothing groundbreaking

I was on the low gi diet for a while....my doctor recommended it to me. It wasnt very long and I didnt lose weight (because I didnt stick with it long)...but did it ever make me feel better. I felt healthier and just great as a whole following this diet

Thanks girls!

My diet starts tomorrow, picking up my Metformin tomorrow so hopefully I'll be on the way to losing the weight :)
I really do appreciate all the help and advice.
I'm lactose intolerant so I'm stuck to lacto-free milk, I love pasta and salads, I think I was meant to be Italian, not English:haha:
I'll let you all know how I get on, I know it's going to be so hard to do but I also know its something I know I have to do.
I dont really eat red meats, I think those animals are too pretty lol. I don't mind eating chicken and turkey because they're ugly :blush: lol.
 
I was on a sort of GI diet :blush: Basically I cut out all alcohol, sweets, white bread/pasta, rice, potatoes...I did eat lots of fruit and veg and lean meat and eggs.

In about 2 weeks I lost 4 pounds :thumbup: But then it was Xmas and the diet went out of the window :haha: And never came back :haha:

I do need to lose another 10 pounds so am thinking of getting back on it. It wasn't that bad at all. I was just snacking on grapes and nuts and because I could still eat meat, I never had a hungry feeling...
 
Yes Maria how did the OD go chick? Hope you are ok and taking it easy :hugs:

I do try and generally stick to the diet, obviously go off course when a chinese takeaway is in order! I generally snacked on fruit and carrot, celery etc to, ate lots of hummus too!!

Kubb, soya is good too, in things like quorn and soya milk/yogurts etc.

Good luck everyone xxx
 
Soooo many newbies I have comepletely lost track I am so sorry, but welcome its lovely to have so many people on here and Im sure I will learn a lot from you :)

Im on my 3rd cycle of clomid after a disaster round 2 when we didnt BD. My DH collapsed at work on Friday and we spent the day at the hospital having tests. Luckily I got to take him home and he will continue his tests as an outpatient. He is exhausted and I had no hopes for BD although I was coming up to Ov but he maned up and we dtd last night after a positive OPK yesterday. That will be all I get so I hope it was enough.
 
Great job getting him to DTD then! I think we forget how much easier we have it with regards to the actual sex part of proceesings. All those teenage fumblings we had to ward off and now we have to timetable it in! Sad innit
 
Hi this might sound like a couple of dumb questions but how long do most people wait after provera to see AF? I finished provera today and I'm due to start my first cycle of clomid when AF arrives, also will I deff get another AF? If I'm not preg after the round of clomid or will she not turn up if it didn't work? Does that make sense? I normally have a sparse cycle. ?
 
hi everyone,

I wanted to know if any of you also get constant positive opk's due to your pcos. My doctors are beginning to think this may be the problem and I have my appointment on thursday with the fertility specialist. I have also taken an hpt every morning with a bfn. Thanks for the help.
 
Hi

Kazza - Sorry chick i dont know anything about provera, maybe search on Bnb for any thread with it in?? Or maybe ring your doctor if it takes ages??

Ready - I would say that if your temps stay high now that you possibly ovulated on cd21, do you have your Ovulation Detector set to Advanced?? I have PCOS and OPKs do work for me although i always have a medium line, then i ovulate i have a mega dark line ... do you have pics you can post on here?? I took pictures of all mine and wrote on them what day it was and then you can compare over time??

xxxx
 
Ah ah! Clo_mid. That is EXACTLY what happened to me! I had faint lines...faint lines...faint lines...CD15 lines a the same color/a tiny bit darker on two tests but they took 10 minutes to show up and CD 13 and 14 they were almost as dark. Anyway then on CD 21 and 22 blazing blazing +'s and they showed up right away. After that I had +'s the same color as the control for 2 more days. Then some negatives until this past weekend where I got lines the same color as the control. My dh double checked them and he's seen them change throughout my cycle so he's become pretty good at telling what's a + and what's not. The one's over the weekend took about 10 minutes to show up too, similar to the original CD13, 14, 15 days. I don't really know what to think. I've also had a tubal reversal which is making things just that much easier. I feel like I never know what I'm O'ing. I'm really wondering if they are going to let me try clomid.
 
Oh and I don't really know how to take pictures and put them on here. I need to try and get my camera to work but plan on doing this next cycle. I also bought the happy face CB opk to cross check my internet cheepies.
 
I think sometimes with PCOS your body tried to ovulate but doesnt actually release the egg, then after a while your body tries again (this is what causes the little cysts) and finally it works .... if you look at my chart this month i am not on the clomid and you'll see my body tried on cd 18 and didnt but then did on cd 27!!

Im still surprised FF hasnt put your crosshairs in for cd 21, think its because of the dip on cd 23 .... id wait and see what happens tomorrow and keep up with the :sex: just in case!!

If you want help uploading photos then just let me know xxx
 
Kaz - I had to take Provera a couple of times. I was lucky and had a "perfect" response to it when both times my af arrived on day 3 after stopping Provera. The it was onto Clomid from CD2.

But m Dr told me it can take up to a week to get af after Provera's last pill. So everyone's different. I hope ou don't have to wait long.

Ready - I have problems with LH due to PCOS and regularly get positive OPKs that don't mean anything. I still do them but also go by other symptoms like cervical mucus and cervix position.
PCOS doesn't make it easy on us...Have you had your blood tests for hormones? What's your LH:FSH ratio? Mine was 4:1 when the norm is 1.5:1 and this is clearly indicative of PCOS.
