Think i may just have to wait till i'm prescribed something from the gyno as i just wouldn't know when to take it as i'm not regular enough. Thanks for the advice though x

Thanks R & G I'm feeling dead optimistic at the mo largely down to this site and all the fab advice and support i've been receiving since joining.

Before joining i felt like i couldn't talk to anyone as no one fully understood what i was going through but now i have an outlet and a much more positive outlook x

I couldn't wait so I went ahead and took Soy

Don't know if it worked, since FS promptly looked at my charts for 6 months (26-54day cycles, but ov every time), and gave me noreisterone (sp?) to induce AF and Clomid for ov. Good idea to have a chart though, so the FS gets better understanding of your cycles

Hubby asked me last night, now that I have had a period do I need to be refered back to the specialist to be prescribed clomid or do I have to wait until my BMI goes below 35, currently 36? or until i have had a few more periods on my own?

They usually prescribe Clomid for CD2-6, so if you want Clomid, you need to go now.

Congratulations, Cami! Happy and Healthy 9 months!

Redrose - best of Luck! I really hope this is IT for you

Lisa - welcome to the thread!

Im off for my appointment tonight (UK time). Im getting really worried he won't give me Clomid this time round and will want to wait even longer But I say: what's there to wait for? I haven't had a period in almost 4 months!!! Been on Metformin for 7 weeks and my sugar levels are actually too low....So I doubt that will help!
But you can never predict doctors! The only thing that gives me hope is that straight after my lap 7 weeks ago he said: It'll be interesting to see what the next few periods will be like (in terms of heaviness)!
So it does sound like he was assuming Ill get a period - so hopefully because I didn't get one for so long he'll realise it's time for the next step.

Please wish me luck!!!!

Good luck Maria!

Hello ladies I guess I will test in the morning. I didn't test today with fmu and the test yesturday was takin about five pm. I was out shopping had to go get some stuff from the dollar tree and walked by them and slowly backed cart up and stood there for about five mins having an internal argument with my self over bying it. So I guess the better half won out and I got it and took it . I will go to store and get a few of them today cause I will be to impatient to wait. Also I am only like 7dpo when I took this test.

Maria- Good luck hun.

Lisa- If you are like the rest of us and are at the point in trying anything then soy iso would be a great option for you I would recomend 80mg to start with on cd2-6. I took soy this cycle and i o'ed on it.

Sma- keep us post when you are testing. I was impatient and had to test. It is to hard to wait

 

[R&G2007]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Rednose

Good luck Redrose

Ok girls, I am completely lost on this cycle.

I have been spotting on and off for 5 days now and the two days before today there was some light flow for about an hour. Now I have never had this happen before and I am quite confused. Normally I would not have a problem with the spotting for so long, I would probably just ignore it and hope that it turns into a period. But this time, I am worried because I am about to take Soy tonight and if FF is right and I truly did O, then I would be 15dpo. I keep thinking that if I O'd, then I could be pregnant. And if I didn't O, then is this spotting my period? If so, what CD am I really on and what will my lining be like for implantation.

I took a test yesterday just to ease my mind and it came back negative.

Every time I make up my mind as to what I am going to do, my body does something different and confuses me!

I don't know what to do or think

Any advice?

 

[jwelmel]

Courtney..i know its hard to wait..but prob u can skip this cycle with soy??..and wait until the FS...cos there is this one lady with pcos,ovulated on CD 105/6 and got a positive test on Cd 115 or something ,now pregnant with twins.

Another week or two and ull know for sure...what if its something else(like a baby).

And if the FS is not so helpful,u could still try soy the cycle after that.

Just a suggestion.I never thought ovulating late actually sustains a preg..but this lady's case seems so def.

 

[HopefulOne1]

Hey Girls... Wow a lot has been going on here since I last posted!!
Now on CD300!!
4 Weeks into the met taking and my chart has gone crazy!
looks li'ke an upside down zigzag one day high 36s next day low 35s???
Boobs kill and cant keep anything down but havent yet had a positive opk so i dont think its bfp signs??
Anybody experienced this with met?? Also no signs of AF either??
Hope your all good xx

 

[sma1588]

when i first went on the met my boobs hurt a little and some days when i upped the dose i was getting sick. im supposed to be on 3 a day but im at 2 im afraid to go up to 3,i really need to do it though . as far as the no new cycle i would ask for something like provera but make sure u do a pg test first. it will get you started on a new cycle

 

[xshell79]

hi ladies im wondering if any of u could help me with any info....

back in jan i mc at about 6 wks so my doc decided to look into it and got refered to a gyno and had bloods dne etc... found my ovaries are fine but had blood work done and i have been diagnosed with pcos as i had paperwork today the gyno recommends that metformin may help... im a little confused as she thinks im probably not ovulating but as i chart i see a thermal shift! and i have cycles that are 28/32 days depending when i ov ... is anyone in a similar situation as me???

now my gyno has refered me to a reproductive specialist on 11th aug but as im overweight i know that will be a problem...is there any overweight ladies that have been given clomid???

hope u all dont mind me asking these questions and sorry for the long post,, any info would be lovely

xxxx

 

[camishantel]

yes maam I am overweight... I have a BMI of 51.6 US ... and I was given clomid this last cycle and I am pregnant now on my first round of clomid... my doc is amazing and as losing weight helps it is not absolutely necessary...there are millions of overweight women that go on to have happy healthy babys

 

[xshell79]

thankyou for replying to my post do u have pcos?

congrats too hun happy and healthy 9 months xx

 

[camishantel]

yes I do ....

All of us on this thread have PCOS.

I am one of the few who's ovaries look normal too. The first indication that I had it was when I had blood work done to check my hormone levels.

I have tried Met, but it makes me too sick, so I do not take it.

I was told by one doctor that I could not have Clomid until I lost weight. Once she moved out of town and I got a new doctor, the new one gave me Clomid without a word as to my weight.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask us. We are more than happy to help.
