can anyone help me with my post i did about progesterone? x

 

[wannabemummyb]

No idea becci sorry. Did yu doc/fs/ob not tell you what it meant?

 

[dodgercpkl]

hi ladies, i'm on Metformin and i had my day 21 bloods taken on friday got the results today and they were an AMAZING 50.3. I know this is a defo Ovulation but what about being pregnant? could this be such a boost i could be?

xx

I'm assuming this is the question you are asking about? If so, honestly I'm not sure how any of us can give you an answer on that. Since you ovulated, you certainly have a chance of being pregnant.

Hi there

Yellow - OMG chick im so sorry to see what happened, im so sad for you but im really glad to see you getting back on the TTC horse and starting again, I wish you all the best my dear

Becci - i think the numbers vary so much that its not completely indicative of pregnancy, mine was so high the last two clomid rounds i did that the FS thought i would be telling him i was preggers when i went in! Really hope yours does actually mean good news though

Wantanerd and Maria, glad to see all is ok with both of you, how are you doing???

AFM - I got a today, i still cant quite believe it and after what happened last time im going to be a little cautious but im so happy!!!

Good luck to everyone, it can happen for you xxx

Congrates clobo, hope all goes well x

Clobo - OMG!!! I AM SO HAPPY (& jealous) FOR YOU!!! Just take it easy for these few weeks; think happy thoughts; treat yourself like a queen and let (or force) others treat you like one too.

So I am back on full swing - Metformin, EPO, B12. Just wish the stupid bleeding would stop already!!! It was almost gone this morning and by noon, WhAM! It is as though it is playing hide and seek with me.

 

[Mrs.Stinski]

So...I went to the new FS today....and he is fantastic!!!!!! He gave me so much hope and really thinks that he can have me pregnant within three months. Doing fasting bloodwork in the morning to check, well, everything really. Which makes me feel really good! Hopefully will be starting Prometrium tomorrow to start a cycle then on with Femara. We will see by bloodwork tomorrow if I need to be on Metformin. These are all new things to me. I was on Clomid before and it made me absolute bonkers so Im not really sure how the new ones will be but Im super excited about the next few months!!

 

[wantanerd]

Congrats Clobo!!!! Before you know it you will be sitting in your 18th week of pregnancy relaxing after your long journey!

Take it easy, stay positive, and take lots of naps!

AFM: new doctor on the 13th (and DH can't go with me grrrr) hopefully he has read other journals other than the American Obstetrics Journal and knows a thing or two about PCOS. Hopefully they got in touch with my PCOS specialist and she has advised the clinic I should be staying on the Metformin through pregnancy. 20 week ultrasound is coming up and I always start to get nervous when an ultrasound is on the way especially this one since it is so long. Hopefully baby boy is doing well and I can finally find out a due date for him! (Its somewhere between June 3-6).

 

[MariaF]

Clobo - that's fantastic! Congratulations and best of luck for the next 9 months

Yellow - Im thinking of you nearly every day I really hope you get your BFP and a take home baby in no time!

Becci - I had progesterone readings over 100 in non-pregnant cycles. I think 50 is an average, "good" result. 30 confirm ovulation but is still on the low side, whereas 50 is a good number for progesterone. But you should be close enough to the testing day, or?

Wantanerd - good luck on the 13th! I have a midwife check up at 17 weeks (so in 2 weeks) and then the 20 week scan on Feb 13th. I really hope we get to find out what we are having and if Im correct thinking it's a boy

 

[Clobo]

Thanks everyone, i really hope that it works out this time, im scared but trying to stay positive!

Here is some for you Yellow, loving your attitude, you will get your sticky bean i just know it

xxxx

 

[Chiles]

Congrats Clobo on your BFP!!!!

I am staying tuned in this thread because it seems to be sooo lucky!!!!!

Hand me some Baby dust ladies !!!! Hope this is our month!!!

 

[Clobo]

Hey Chiles

Here is some for you, I managed it on a natural cycle too so just shows PCOS can be beaten!!!

 

[HoneyWright]

Congrats clobo

Happy weekend all seemed like a very long week this week.

I'm starting on a low gi diet today hopefully I can beat pcos to x

Taking the Christmas tree down today bet I'm the last one to do that, wonder how long it will stay in my garden!

 

[wantanerd]

My christmas tree is still up. We must take it down sometime this weekend or I bet it will be up till March! DH isn't good at taking things down while I am away. I get to spend an entire month in Florida in two weeks and I can't wait!

 

[MariaF]

Honey - what really helped me was cutting out white bread, white pasta, all pastries, chocolate, alcohol, potatoes... I ate plenty of meat, fish and veg. Also wholegrain pasta and bread - but not too much. I don't think it's strict GI but I figured that it would be easier to stick to. And the results were amazing! Wishing you lots of luck!

Wantanerd - we also still have the tree up we'll be taking it down tomorrow.

 

[HoneyWright]

Thanks Maria x

Hello ladies! This is my first time posting...though I've been reading posts for months now! I came off bcp in June after taking for 10+ years for PCOS. My hubby and I have been ttc since last Aug. with no luck. I chart my cycles on FF and have had 2 long (40+ day) anovulatory cycles and 1 short (26 day) ovulatory cycle.

I am meeting with my OB/GYN on Monday to discuss Clomid (she told me last Aug. to try naturally for a few months but said she would be more than willing to prescribe Clomid due to my history of irregular cycles/PCOS).

I'm wondering if I should talk to her about trying Metformin too. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help!

 

[hopefulbaby]

Hi again!

So I finally had my HSG yesteday. It sucked. :/ Most pain I have ever had in my life and I hope no one else has to experience pain like that.... I wont find out results until we see the fertility specalist on wednesday. I hope my tubes are clear!!

I took my first ever OPK today! What do you guys think?

https://www.babyandbump.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=321762&d=1325973182

I can't tell if I've ovulated or not. I think the right line is lighter but I couldn't find anywhwere in the instructions if hte OPKs result expire after a certain amout of time like the HPTs do... Looking at it hours later i can tell the lines have faded a bit.

 

[hopefulbaby]

demre810 - I could be wrong but I think Metformin is for insilin resistance. Do you have that? My gyno didn't perscribe it to me but that's becuase my insulin is fine. I'm just lucky enough to have PCOS! (har har)
