Hi everyone! I havent been around in about a month. Got a new job and what not so I just never had much time to be on here....

My update:
DH got his SA done....we were told no news is good news and we havent heard a thing.
I went to my docs and I was prescribed metformin. I will start on monday. She wants a start level to my sugar/insulin levels and then will check them again in a few months.
She also wants us to get DH docs to fax a copy of DHs SA results.

She is going to send in a referral to see a fertiliy specialist. It could be up to a year before I would see one. If I need to go on clomid then the FS will have to prescribe it. Also where I live there are no specialists if I have to do like IVF....to do that I would have to go to Toronto or Ottawa which are 2-3 hours away from where I live (capital of Ontario and Canada) which is not something I really want to do to get pregnant. It just seems like a lot of work.

sma- that's great! i can't pass up a deal, either hehe. i've been wanting to buy baby stuff, but for some reason just can't bring myself to do so. idk why

 

[sma1588]

lol i will probly have all the baby stuff before im prego the rate im going. its taking so long to get prego and if i never do then im sure there are other people who need some stuff i can give them...i really hope it happens in dec. i cant wait to use all this baby stuff and get everything all put togather and stuff! i guess i just think maybe if i have some stuff it will happen

 

[pinkydinky]

that's true. well, if we can't conceive naturally there are lots of other options: IVF, surrogacy, and the last resort is adoption...but we WILL definitely have a baby sooner or later either way! so maybe it's not such a bad idea to start picking unisex baby stuff up!

 

[pinkydinky]

came today. boo. trying to keep my PMA tho! cycle day 1 starts today, and i'm starting soy tomorrow! come little eggy, grow grow grow!

NG - great to see you back on here! Can you not call Dr to find out about DH's results? When my DH called the surgery he was just told everything was Normal but when we actually went to see the Dr his morphology was on the low side Still, Im hoping for the best as it was within the range.

sma - Im the same!! I haven't actually bought anything because DH would kill me, but Ive already chosen the pram (and wheeled it around), and decided on the nursery furniture

Drakey - great news about the tickets! I know someone else who's going! And by November you may be a Mummy already so start thinking about babysitters

Pinky - sorry af arrived But keep up the SMA. Im CD9 and was convinced we caught last cycle so it was devastating to see af BUT I told myself to stop feeling sorry for myself and just enjoy life as we only get once chance at it! So no more charting (although I took my temp yesterday to make sure it was low), no sex on demand, no nothing! And it's helping! Im feeling a lot more cheerful and relaxed than I did last cycle.

ASF - well, I lost 3 pounds in 10 days since I started my low carb diet. Basically I cut out all sweets, bread (any for now), potatoes, white rice and alcohol - BOOO! But the results are amazing! It's definitely worth it. And Im afraid I have to stick to it over all the Christmas parties too. But this weightloss has made it all worth it. I still have about 12 pounds to go so hoping to shift them in the next few weeks

Ive read somewhere that for PCOS girls even a 10% reduction in weight results in ovulation most of the time so 14 pounds is all I should need

 

[sma1588]

yes there are other ways but many of them are very very expensive so wont happen untill later so im hoping i can concieve naturally not only because its expensive but because of my pain that i have all the time im going to get a hystorectomy but the doc said i have to have 2 kids first.


hahahaha i have bought more than OH knows about lets just say that lol ive picked out all the stuff i want already to

 

[NGRidley]

yeah he has a different doctor than I do.....so he can call and get the results - but you know how it can be sometimes to get a man to do things LOL

sounds like we should be kinda close as far as our cycles if mine doesnt go all crazy again. my cycles have been all over the place and have had to be brought on by provera.sometimes they are 31 days sometimes they are 55+. this is my first time im going to take clomid and i hope its the only time

 

[KellyW1977]

lol mine were like that too! however ive lost about 3 and half stone and they have been at 33 days for the past 4 cycles so all good! its my first time with Clomid too and hope its my only but who knows, will be good to have a Clomid buddy! xx

 

[sma1588]

yah i need to loose about 30 lbs but i also am insulin resistant so its really hard to loose weight yet put it on soooo fast. so i will be on metformin and clomid at the same time. sure a clomid buddy sounds good !

will this be your first LO or do u already have kids?

were ttc number 1

 

[KellyW1977]

Yeah, in my early TTC I was insulin resistant too, it sucks, its so hard its taken me 3 years of TTC and trying to lose weight to come this far ;o) x I have a HSG to book in for next cycle if I dont get a BFP and if Clomid does not work then they will refer me for Ovarian Drilling ( x keep m eposted on any symptons and signs as you will be a day ahead lol! xx

 

[sma1588]

ya im working on it but its not going to well. its seems like no wait comes off at all. i sure will let u know whats going on. i hope i dont get to many SE. i already had the dye thing done and it shows that my tubes r open and my gyn said i should have got prego after that was done but i know it didnt happen because i dont O. even when i was on bcp i wouldnt start when my pills were done

 

[Jasmine_rose]

Anyone else been told ever that urine dipsticks can not always be used for PCOS and to go for a blood test??? thats what my GP has said

 

[sma1588]

ive heard so many different things but i think it depends on where ure located and the doctors/hospitals policy. mine requires that you have to have many negatives and stil a late period before they will do a blood test. but if you have a positive at home and negative at the docs they will do a blood test.....so yes ive heard that to as well as with opk's
