congrats dear! glad to see some success since this is what i may be facing pending hubbys new SA results today.

hubby went today for another SA, we went private this time because the Army doesnt do any kind of procedure, its only a drop off option and my husband lives in the barraks on post right now in an 8 man room so that leave the public restroom at the hospital <cringes> his results werent too great but not horrible either last time but he had low volume and low morphology thought to be due to volume. i think the issue was performance anxiety due to the public bathroom and time constraint so when the FS suggested we go private for the test we agreed that it would be worth 90$ for the privacy of a room where i could go in with him. i have to say that i am already impressed as far as the naked eye is concerned. there was well more than twice the volume of last time ::happydance: fx the results are good, the should be in on monday or tuesday.
 
Hi Mrs, when do you get your results?? Aw i think its sounds well worth going private for things like that, good luck :dust:

Its good to hear success stories isnt it

xxxx
 
his results on monday or tuesday. im already being treated for PCOS and insulin resistance now...wasnt sure whose you were talking about :blush:
 
Good Luck for next week! Lets hope his results come back OK! :thumbup:
 
So AF got me today but the good news is I got her on my own this month without the help of meds and it was a 33 day cycle. So another doctors appt for me on Monday. But I think it's pretty damn good my period regulated itself.
 
Wow that is brilliant Wantanerd, i wish my body would do the same!! YAY, hopefully you can have a proper go at TTC this cycle too!! :dust:
 
Sorry Maria, but as MrsMabrey said, at least you will be in a good position for you next appointment, only 5 days left!
 
YAY! I know you are right, ladies. I have no idea what they do during the first NHS appointment - Im seeing the same guy I saw privately so he'll have all my records which is great. But that also makes me think he won't do bloods or scans either - I think he saw the inside of me enough times :haha:

We have that day off and going away for the weekend so Im generally looking forward to Friday :happydance:
 
Oh wow that is awesome that you are seeing the same guy. Hopefully that means there will be no time wasted. Fingers crossed your appointment goes well.
 
okay metformin ladies i have a Q now. did any of you find your immunity lowered by it? i have had 3 different "sinus" type bugs since i started the metformin...and now the drainage from my nose is making me :sick: on top of the wonderful met. side effects IYKWIM. i am trying my best not to get dehydrated, but it isnt working. i have had 10 bottles of water today and i still feel dried out. my lips are cracked, i feel tired, and im not comfortable at all...but when i drink anything my stomach is swimming from all the water :( im afraid im going to have to stop taking the metformin if i cant get over this... :(
 
No, Ive never heard that about Metformin :shrug: Im generally quite lucky on it. I don't get any side effects - never did. But then Im on the extended release one. I take 3 pills at once and don't notice anything. Ive been on it for over a year now.
Are you on the normal version? How long have you been on it? Have you mentioned in to the Dr?
 
Hi Ladies,

Really hoping for some feed back while I&#8217;m waiting anxiously to find out if it finally happened for us.
Just found out that I have PCOS earlier this year and I was especially surprised because four years ago I was an egg donor for my sister who is ovarian cancer survivor and so we did all of the IVF stuff and I was okay to produce eggs (with hormones of course) she end up having triplets.
Earlier this year and after my husband and I were TTC for a few months but didn&#8217;t really because my period just didn&#8217;t show for 90+ days which when I finally went and saw a couple of doctors and was then told that I had PCOS and some Thyroid issues from there my journey started with specialists until early May I had enough from doctor&#8217;s appointment to maybe this and maybe that I decide to just see a fertility specialist. Previously to that I was given Provera to induce my period then put on 50mg Clomid by my Gynco and a month later I got my period, at this point I was seeing the Fertility they then upped the CLMOID to 100mg and then was told to test ovulation cd 12-17 if by cd 15 if no ovulation to go in for ultrasound and then if a follicle big enough was found they would give me HCG shot they found one for sure and one maybe and I was then given the HCGS, which would have been CD 16 we had intercourse the following three days today I&#8217;m on CD 21 and this past weekend I had such good appetite for things and cravings, along with cramping and some pulling feeling on the lower right of my abdominal (still do) I&#8217;m constipated and Gassy (sorry for the TMI) but I&#8217;m really hopeful that we might be pregnant, has anyone been felt this way before? Could it be signs for pregnancy ?

My period should come on the 27th or the 28th of this month. Cross my figures it doesn&#8217;t..
Looking forward to hearing some good news :)

Hi there

Wow what a lovely and selfless thing to do for your sister, that must have been a very difficult time and you gave her the best present ever .... you've brought tears to my eyes :hugs:

So i really hope that you can get pregnant quickly, you really do deserve it .... those sound like good symptoms to me, good luck chick :dust:

i am on extended release 4 times a day. i take it all at once so that i get side effects once instead of three or 4 times a day. i went to the doctor today and i have a sinus infection so that is what the nausea is about...sinus drainage=vomiting apparently. i talked to my FS about the met. side effects and her suggestion was to try my best to live with it because i didnt see symptoms at lower dosages only at the high ones used to treat PCOS, and she said that once i get pregnant i wont need as much to control my IR...so try to live with it and if i cant in a few weeks she will try something else. ive been on it for 3 weeks now.
 
Well I'm another PCOS vet (not on metformin, though - my glucose has always tested stable). Just want to say hi and good luck with the metformin and the side effects. Have you tried using a neti pot? It always helps me whenever I have that going on.

kind of funny that you should say that...i dont have a netti pot, but the dr gave me a sinus rinse bottle by the same guy as the netti pot. i had never heard of it but i have to say its pretty amazing. :thumbup: between that and antiinflamatory nasal spray im feeling much better...and drum roll please...(fx knock on wood Xs 1000) NO MET SIDE EFFECTS TODAY! and i took my meds over 4 hours ago! :happydance::happydance::happydance: :wohoo:
