hi ladies...not sure if this is the right place to post (sorry if its not)......it took me a long time to conceive my son who is now 3 months old......i have really bad pcos and my oH has motility problems....i was wondering has anyone with pcos had a child and their pcos improved after? did it make having a second child any easier or was it just as problematic? i still have had no periods since my LO has been born and never had any before

Mommy2be1003, my doctor told me to trust OPKs but I get positives at least once a week. So I would say keep BD'ing but keep testing, too. Are your temping?

 

[mommy2be1003]

Hmm hopefully it means I'm ovualting!! I am not temping because I've tried a few times and my temps are all over the place so I just gave up.. I've already taken 19 of the 20 tests.. So I'm going to use the last one tonight..
And believe me, we are always bd' ing

Hi girls. I popped in for some advice. This is my first month charting and my temps have been really chaotic in the past. My chart magically gave me a crosshair this morning. It seems to make sense with some of my higher temps the past few days. I had close to positive opks on cd 47, but days following it just got lighter and lighter. I didn't opk really near cd53 so Idk if its even possible. Do you think my body tried cd 47 and failed, but tried again later and I missed a surge for cd 53? It all makes a lot of sense, but I'm trying not to get too excited. If I am 6dpo, then this is my very first successful natural cycle. I'm sure only time will tell with my next few temps. Gaaw, the female body!

My PCOS has actually gotten worse but it could be to age. DD was conceived on my 2nd cycle of injectables with an IUI. DS took 3 years with 5-7 injection/IUI cycles, 2 IVF's and a FET. Now my ovaries are the worst they have ever been. Just failed my 1st IUI/injection cycle for #3. My RE is refusing to treat me now because of the response.

 

[honeybee2]

can I join the pcos group?

 

[Clobo]

Hi HoneyBee

Congratulations on your wedding!! Wow from your signature it looks like you have a few problems to get over, why would IUI never work for you chick?? Have they ever tried you on clomid??

[honeybee2]

they wont put me on clomid as it seems I am ovulating but I have high testosterone at the same time and mild pcos. I am on metformin though. IUI would never work for us because OH's sperm is too darn slow, even if they injected it into me (so his specialist tells us anyway).

And thankyou, was an incredible day.

I've been trying a low GI diet for a few weeks now. All I can say is ewww...wholemeal bread & wholegrain pasta/spaghetti, urghhh. I much prefer the normal stuff but I know I need to do this. I can handle the bread but the pasta... Just isn't the same at all.
I've become best friends with my treadmill and stepper but we've got a love-hate relationship going on. I hate using them but I know they're helping me too

Matt and I have booked a holiday to Cape Verde in July so I'm really determined to get a 'decent' beach body!
I'm still waiting for AF or a BFP and my FS to tell me my CD21 results, I think I may have to chase it up this week if I haven't heard by Friday. I keep stalking the postman but I've not had any post

Sending you ladies all the luck in the world

[Clobo]

Hiya, aw I'm glad you booked the holiday, will be great to look forward to and good motivation for the exercise!! That's what I need!!

I don't mind the wholewheat pasta, I get stuck when it comes to sweet things!!

Keep going ladies xxx

I always have to chime in when it comes to talk on low GI diets. I started low GI the end of June and after not having AF or ovulating in over 18 months (years before that) I have finally ovulated and hopefully my AF is normalizing. I also lost 13 lbs the first 2 weeks. It gets easier in time and you start to prefer healthier foods over bad carbs. Are you doing Atkins or South Beach? I do SB, its much easier on me. Stick with it! GL hun!

Honeybee, have you gotten your DH on any vitamins? My DH's motility is 17% so I put him on all these vitamins, will see when he goes for his second SA in a week.

hellooooooooo

dropping by to see how is everyone doing! i just started a new journal because i think it is time for me to vent out in a proper outlet instead of bottling up...

CD11 today and OPK at 6pm showed very slightly 2nd line. the line was much darker yesterday but still negative. getting all worked up and nervous now... 1st round of Clomid. am hoping to ovulate this month since evidence showed i have not ovulated this year.

pills i am on = metformin 850mg daily, chinese herb Tiaojing Cuyun Wan by acupuncturist twice daily, Vitamin b6 daily, epo daily.

finished my clomid 50mgX2 from CD2-6 as instructed by a gynaecologist.

good luck everyone!

Hi yellow, you seem to get your period regularly though, has your dr confirmed you are not ovulating?

 

[MrS. MaBrEy]

Try switching to quinoa pasta its much better.

 

[SweetJennie]

I have been eating wholegrain pasta for ages and who grain bread and stuff. The one thing I haven't been able to switch to is the whole grain rice or whatever it is called. It is killer gross.

yellowyamyam good luck on the ovulation. Hope you get your positive OPK soon. Happy BDing.
