MummyTTC - it does help to know that you are not alone. Because during some of my darkest moments I think it can't get worse than this but it does And of course you always assume no one else can possibly be as crazy and go through something similar- but they do! And that's why I love this place because we can all support each other.
OD isn't that bad at all. And with amazing success rates Im glad Ive had it done - now just waiting to see what happens

Ashley - you're probably best asking in the Pregnancy section of the forum. Please dont take it the wrong way but most ladies on here are struggling to just conceive their first for 18+ months so I doubt any of us can give any pregnancy advice

Nothing new from me ladies, did my first OPK and it's negative of course But I noticed EWCM since yesterday so Im wondering if it's still discharge after the lap or may be something's happening with the ovaries and the follicles Will keep doing the OPKs for the next couple of weeks and see what happens

I have a question that's been puzzling me for a while, I don't know if anyone can help at all but I thought it's a worth a shot asking...

When I went to the Gyno on the 3rd March, I read the referral letter from my GP & at the bottom of it, it mentioned that I suffered from a massive long word known as ITP back in 1993 when I was 2...why was this brought up? Did having ITP cause PCOS?
I have to have a vaginal scan on the 13th April so I will ask my Gyno then. I completely forgot to ask when I went on the 3rd.

I've tried researching it on the internet but haven't found anything helpful, it's driving me mad!!

Any help would be much appreciated, my little brain can't handle much more confusion.

Hello,

No idea if this is right or not but I Googled and this is what I found - https://www.patient.co.uk/health/Idiopathic-Thrombocytopenic-Purpura-(ITP).htm

Looking at it it says that "Because most adults with ITP do not have any symptoms, ITP is usually diagnosed on a routine blood test that has been done for other reasons. The full blood count shows a lower number of platelets than normal. The laboratory will also look at your blood under a microscope...........Like children, most adults with ITP do not require active treatment unless they have significant symptoms or need to undergo surgery for any reason, including dental work. It is important to have adequate platelet levels before surgery in order to minimise the risk of severe bleeding during the procedure."

Ridley seems like we are close in cycles. I am on CD1 today but my period was a little late.

yea pretty close. I am on CD6 now. my cycles are anywhere from 28-32 days now


lately i have been feeling pretty sorry for myself; a little defeated.
I think its because I am nearing the 2 year mark and never thought it would take this long. I thought I would be pregnant at 25 and I am about to turn 27 and still nothing

 

[Butterfly24]

heya guys

how are you all doing

finally got another gyno appt through on the 24th of march, i am so so nervous. everything has seemed to much recently and the loosing weight went out the window a little while ago.

my grandma has been in intensive care recently and it seemed like nothing could get any worse, but last week i got a fone call to say that i was succesfull in an interview for a promotion - so it was nice to have some good news for a chnage

the shifts wll be better and it'll be easier to bd on the right days as and when i eventually ov, so it's given me abit of a boost tbh

i am hoping to kick some but at the gyno appt soon and either get my metforim or at least some provera(sp?) so i can have a period for the first time in about 2 1/2 yrs lol

here's to some PMA to us all x

 

[MariaF]

Butterfly - Im so sorry about your grandma Mine had her 3d stroke on Boxing Day and it's been tough ever since.

But YAY on the promotion and the upcoming appointment - not long to go!!!!

NG - I totally understand how you feel. We started ttc when I was 27, Im about to turn 29 in 4 weeks. When I think about HOW long it's taking and WHAT I had to go through already and still no result, it does all add up and I just feel so sorry for myself I do think, well, Ive done so much and it STILL Hasn't happened - so what are my chances?! What else is there apart from IVF and even then there's no guarantees...

Hang in there, chick, PMA is so important....wish I had some, Id share it with you

I thought I was close to ovulating as had a lot of ewcm yesterday. But totally negative opk last night and no more ewcm today so who was I kidding?! Back to the good old waiting game!

 

[McMummy]

Hi Girls

So hard to keep the PMA going isn't it!

None of us ever thought it would be this hard, at least we know we're not alone....It can be so easy to wallow in it and have a bit of a pity party... I allow myself a couple of days a month to mope

Hope we get a couple (or more would be amazing) of this month so we all get a bit of faith restored

Good luck & lots of everyone xx

Sorry i havn't been on here for a while...

how are you all today?

i started Metformin last tuesday
i have to say though.... i dont like it at all its been making me feel very weird and very ill, i feel tired & weak nauseousthirsty, confused & dizzy.... oh & also the dreaded diarreah i just keep thinking, shall i even bother with it, i feel worse on it than i did before & i dont like sleeping all the time.....and also.... even though the chance is very small, i'm petrified of getting lactic acidosis, i dont know what foods to eat to prevent it and the doctor didnt even bother doing a medical before putting me on it, she was just like... "here's your pescription, it cant hurt you" ..... grrrr i'm just an emotional mess & i dont know how to feel or what to do i'm sorry i'm so down today ladies, hope you can all understand.
