PCOS Club!

i have loads of CM too...i never though about it being a side effect! maybe it really isnt alot more that "normal" we are just not used to normal CM amounts??? that is what i was thinking anyway.

I'm sure i'm wrong about the metformin, but what other drug would it be that would help me but at the same time, harm an unborn child and cause this happening to a baby?

I believe the trug that can help your testosterone levels is aldactone, but only if you are not ttc as it can cause problems with the baby.

 

[wantanerd]

I am on dexamethasone for a slight testosterone imbalance that can be taken up to when you are 6 weeks pregnant.

Hi ladies just thought id share with you, I have had PCOS for 7 years. Last 4 years ive had 1-2 periods a year. This year I have had 4! I started cutting down on coffee/caffine drinks and fizz (very hard as all of you know). I has a chemical earlier in the year sad but kinda a releif knowing I can actuly work! Now im completly off caffine and fizz and have had 2 regular 30day periods, I tried Metformin and didnt see AF for 8 months.

Hopeing this works for me and I have also lost a stone in weight in 5 weeks, Im staying positive and hoping this is the solution I have been looking for.

Hi Chan

Wow that is really good going, i bet losing the weight helps too ... my doctor said that even just losing 5% of your body weight can help to kick start your body!! Sorry to hear about your chemical but yes its good news that things work!! It will happen for you again soon chick, keep it up and you'll be announcing a BFP in no time!!

As for me, my scan showed my lining is fine, even i could tell the difference on the screen!! So taking my clomid tonight cd5-9!! Im officially TTC again!!

I have pcos and have been ttc for 2 1/2 yrs I am having my tubes checked and my ovries drilled next month so fingers crossed this work for me as previous treatment of clomid failed.

 

[MommyMel]

Is it advisable to take clomid after a Lap, does it help conception ?

praying for all of you ladies......
baby dust to you all.....

 

[chan221]

Thanks Clobo thats great hopfuly we will have our 2012 babies ! Yes I love that feeling when you look at the scan and it looks normal

Opks are starting to get darker due to O end of the week, just weighedmy self and another 2lbs lost..dont know why I didnt try this before

 

[Becks88]

Hello ladies i just wanted some advice really. I have been referred back to my gynae consultant after 6 months of clomid. What can i expect next? My GP mentioned Ovarian drilling but i am not so keen as i've not heard of it working for anybody....plus it sounds horrific! Any idea what could be next for me ladies?

 

[MommyMel]

I have done quite alot of research on Ovarian Drilling. the stats are very very good, most women 80% fall within the first 3-6 cycles.
i had mine done on the 7th june 2011 (ovarian drilling, Laparoscopy, Hsg), i have had 2 cycles thereafter, almost no pain with AF and my cycles are getting more and more regular. I just came from my doc now (today 15thJuly 2011), he done my internal exam and said everything looks great... no cycst, tubes clear and open ! he gave me 3 months to conceive ..... i just pray he is right !!!

I even lost some weight after the operation.... so i feel great and look good....

I cant say what you MUST do, but i definatelyy recommend this procedure,,, its make one more fertile as well..... esp when they pass the dye through your tubes....

there are a few forums here where you can read about all the other ladies who went through this procedure and have wonderfull successful pregnancies.

good luck hun, i wish you all the baby dust possible....

 

[Princess1712]

Becks88 - I had the clomid but was stopped after 2 months as it was to dangerous for me so I am now waiting to have a laparoscopy where they will check my tube with the dye and do the ovarian drilling. I am having mine done on aug 15th so 1 month to go I was really scared when they first mentioned it to me but now I am counting down the days till I can have it done.

Mommymel - I am so glad to hear that every is looking good for you since your LOD . Fingers crossed for you. BABYDUST xxx

 

[MommyMel]

Princess1712 - thats great, i just wish i had done it sooner, i too was a bit scared, not sure what to expect, but now that i have discussed it with my doctor i am feeling very positive and have new hope.
I know i will get pregnant soon,,,,,,, i am just impatient.

I was on clomid 2 years ago, took it for 3 cycles but it gave me terrible cramps, perhaps also because i had un-diagnosed PCOS at the time. now all i am taking is Preg-Omega-plus (vitamin for moms to be)

I will keep praying, God will hear my prayers

 

[kirstybumx3]

could one of you lovely ladies PLEASE read my thread about pcos? im sure i have it but doctors are useless..

 

[lolageorgia]

Hi lovely ladies!!
Just a quick question if anyone can help...
Have started clomid/provera but I know that PCOS cn cause false OPK results...how will I know when I will ovulate? am charting BBT but I will only find out if too late
x

 

[wantanerd]

I was told not to chart or to use OPKs as both were messed up with my PCOS. I use the every other day method just to be on the safe side. Right now my doctors are monitoring my cycles by ultrasound and triggering my ovulation. Without this I would never know when I ovulated or not.

 

[Clobo]

Hi Lola, my specialist told me not to temp/chart/OPK or anything and just to every other day!! Which is easier said than done sometimes!! Im still charting though in secret so i know whats going on!! Do you check your cervical mucus and cervix position, they can sometimes help to predict in advance?? Also I still use OPKs, even the internet cheapy ones work for me!! I think sometimes the doctors just try and stop us overanalysing everything and just DO IT!!!

Its really good news you are on the drugs, they really can work wonders! Good luck xxx

Kirsty, can you put a link to your thread on here so we can see?

Wantanerd, thats brilliant that you are getting all that help, wont be long chick xxx

xxxx

 

[sunnysun]

I'm the same girls, I wouldn't have clue what's going on with my body without charting.
If you ovulate, even if irregulary, charting helps lots, the OPKs drive me a bit mad as you can test for days and days and still be negative, I find charting easier.

 

[Angel0116]

It seems like alot of doctors on here jump into ovarian drilling very quickly! I went through clomid, then femara (which I got pregnant on first month but miscarried and didn't ovulate again on femara), then I tried the injection repronex...pregnant first month! I am now 14 weeks and still praying for a healthy baby. My doctor had laproscopy and drilling marked as last chance procedures. I completely recommend trying femara or repronex, I had so much better results than I did with clomid!

 

[lolageorgia]

Yes am charting and will use OPK's too, even tho they might not work, will feel like I am doing something tho! Just waiting for the witch to show so I can start my Clomid!! xx

 

[MrS. MaBrEy]
