PCOS Club!

Hi everyone,
I recently had a mmc at 8wks and used clomid to get my bfp. Was diagnosed with pcos late las year and have irregular periods. I just wondered if anyone here with pcos had a mc but conceived naturally after? I have read some women are super fertlie after a mc and that it can kick your body back into gear.
Any advice/opinions would be great.
Thanks

Hi Kubb

Sorry i cant help with your metformin question ... have you been in touch with your doctor?? I think its worth asking them. Hope you feel better soon

Babygirlhall, so sorry to hear about your mc ... I hope you are doing ok?? I recently had a mc too and i cant wait to be TTC again!!

Ive heard lots of stories, on here and other places where ladies have gotton pregnant straight after a mc. Im waiting till i get my next period and then start taking my clomid again as i have miscarried naturally and its been a long drawn out process!! FF tells me that I ovulated on sunday though so fingers crossed in two weeks we can start again!! Are you going to start yours again too?? Or hopin that you will catch it first time??

Hi hun,
Sorry to hear about your mc too

FX we both get our bfp and sticky bean's really soon

Kubb....are you talking about bathroom issues? I started taking metformin 2 weeks ago, and the next morning I woke up with issues, it went on all day & night for a week straight, I finally called the doctor and he said to take it 1x a day to see if that helps or stop taking it, so since we are about to go on vacation I decided to stop taking it until we get back then I will start back up 1x a day and see how that goes....good luck

my doc first started me on 500mg twice a day for two weeks then 1000mg twice a day after that. It helped me a little with the side effects. The metformin does calm down most of the time and I got into lots of trouble skipping doses just so I didn't have to deal with the side effects.
Now I rarely miss a dose and it has helped me. Lets all hope one day they will make a med with very little side effects!

Hi

Babygirlhall, im not far from you, i love the other side of Bath!!

Anyway, its good you have an appointment and its not too far away either! I did two rounds of clomid and then on the third cycle i didnt take it, my body tried to ovulaste on cd 18 (as normal for clomid) but didnt but then i did actually ovulate on cd 27 .... i think the clomid kickstarted my body a bit, really hope thats the same for you??

Do you temp?? I find its really good and it does work although my FS and husband both tell me off for obsessing so i have to do it in secret!!

I feel the same way about the FS. It seems like I have been in once or twice a week since April. I have an ultrasound and an injection tomorrow. Then next week I have an appointment to check on my PCOS.

No i dont temp, but the signs of O when i was on clomid were so obvious im hoping that if i was to O on my own there would still be some clear signs.
I was told last time i was obsessing but i got my bfp so i must have been doing something right!

Hi ladies!
I kind of disappeared from all TTC threads when I got my BFP, but i just found out on Monday that I had a MMC. THe baby had stopped growing around 8.5 - 9 weeks, and I was at 10+5 when I found out.

So I am now back to TTC, once my body recovers.

 

[NGRidley]

Ok ladies now I have a question for you guys....does metformin mess with your period? I had the oddest flow this month (warning about to get graphic) I started Tuesday and it was extremely light and like a fluorescent pink color, on Wednesday it did get darker, but not my usual flow color (but did have 1 or 2 small clots) but it wasn't that heavy, and on Thursday it was gone, just stopped that night..I normally flow for 5-7 days, I had nothing Fri-Sun.but today I noticed I had a couple light brown spots on pad, but nothing when I wipe....is this normal for metformin, it's def.not normal for me lol. Any help is appreciated

The Metformin helped regulate my cycles. After taking it my cycles became the same length every month.

Also for those with side effects, I never had any because my doctor made sure that I weened myself onto them. Started at 250mg a day then up to 1000mg gradually.

I conceived naturally with PCOS - was taking metformin
I have now had a MMC and I hope I can conceive naturally again soon.

 

[johnson4]

Yea I think he started me off way too much for first time ever having the med, 750mg BID so after vacation I will start it back 1x a day if I do fine then I will up it, if it continues to bother me I will have him give me lower dose or a new med....thanks for the info

 

[Clobo]

NGRidley, oh chick im so sorry to hear about your MMC, I hope you are doing ok, make sure you take time out to recover, i didnt really and ive knackered myself out and also got an infection that i need to take antibiotics for. Just look after yourself and you'll be fine, back to TTC in no time!!

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage NG, wishing you a speed recovery.
I had one in January (and a second one maybe on its way) I know how awaful this is, treat yourself to something, you deserve it!

 

[courtw]

so im on gonal f at this point and wow i can only imagin this is what it feels like to be preg! iv got morning sickness, headaches, i cry at the small things, low energy and im very tired! today will be my 5th injection and i go back friday for a progress US. im very hopefull and could use all the prayers i can get. i hope to go and see a couple healthy follicles. iv never produced a folley on clomid or femara so i will be so excited if i do. i know when i finally get to hold my precious baby all of these trials will seem more than worth it. im so to hear about the MC NG. that is one of my fears and i can only imagine how you feel.

 

[Clobo]

Oh Court, I know I have said about acupuncture before but apparently it is really good when used alongside IVF and other conception aids ..... its also supposed to reduce symptoms such as bloating, morning sickness etc. Maybe thats worth a go??

Good luck on friday lady xxxx

 

[courtw]

thanks clobo! i dont know but these hormones turn me into the Devil

 

[MrS. MaBrEy]

can i join you ladies? ive been ttc forever (see the ticker) stayed in denial for a year, then finally broke down and went in for infertility. i spent 4 months moving around and getting settled somewhere enough that i could start treatments (thanks army) and was dagnosed 4 weeks ago with what i already suspected...PCOS. i go in for HSG next week. hopefully we get good results.

 

[wantanerd]

This month I grew two mature follicles in my left ovary with the help of femara and my low carb diet. I got the HCG shot today to force ovulation. I am really hopeful this time and even if it doesn't happen, I at least know my body is capable of it!

 

[courtw]

thats great wantanerd! i got in tomorrow to see if my injections are doing anything i have now got enough courage to give myself the shot so my husband does not have to. its so painless that i dont know why i had a prob with it before. i am a pestimist at this point i dont want to get my hopes up at all since nothing has worked for me this far. i will just keep praying for myself and everyone else
