Hi :wave:

So Im 4+5 with my first, I have PCOS, and conceived on our 4th month of clomid. Im continuing with metformin 500mg p/d through the 1st trimester.

Id love a buddy who is in the same boat, or who has gone through this before. I dont get any blood work done for another 3 weeks so no idea until then if all levels are as they should be.
Ive booked an early scan at 8weeks for May 4th so hoping to see a heartbeat then. This limbo land of not knowing if everything is ok is torture!

Ive no major symtoms yet to complain about, but Ive been reassured by ladies on here that they'll come in week 5/6.

Anyone out there the same?:flower:

Hello first off congrats!!! Im in the same boat as far as being 4+2 along and having pcos just got my :bfp: today actually!!!! Im supposedly due 12/17 which is one of my nieces birthdays!!! i did not however have to use clomid this time i was able to conceive naturally after taking a break and losing weight! i have my first ultrasound in 2 weeks on the 26th and yes it is torture!!!! Im so excited i decided to tell a few close friends and family just in case!

I think the only symptom i have is being tired i guess!
 
Massive congrats on your :bfp: !!! :hugs:

I see you have been pregnant before. How was the pregancy for you? was it any different because of the PCOS?
I wont have anything done for another 3 weeks :cry: at that point they will take my blood, but Ive booked the early scan because I cant wait until 12 weeks to find out if everything is ok.

edit: sorry you said you didnt use clomid "this time" so I presumed you had been pregnant before. I could be wrong?

Thanks and no I haven't. I just meant I didn't use clomid this cycle of ttc yet.
Yeah I was surprised they wanted to do the ultrasound at only 6 weeks but I'm not complaining!!!! Its hard to not just tell everyone but my hubby wants to wait to make sure everything is OK.
 
Ah ok, lucky you managing to do it naturally. We feel like we did it naturally even with the clomid because another 2 months and we were going for an IUI!

Im bursting to tell everyone, but Im going to control myself. I told my best friend thats it. We'll tell our families after the 8w scan, and everyone else after the 12w.

Are they 2 boxers you have? We have 2 boxers too!!

Yeah I couldn't wait. I'm 30 and we had been trying for a while and everyone is so excited. Waiting to tell everyone til after the ultrasound as well!
Yes those are my boxer babes! That's awesome! Its like reading my life lol
 
Hi ladies. Congrats on the BFP's.

I too have PCOS, fell preg on letrozole (Femara) (our third cycle) after three failed cycles on clomid. I was deemed resistant to clomid (50mg, 100mg, 150mg). it was our second cycle of IUI!

I still cannot believe that it is real. We are both so excited, we have been waiting so long.

I am on 500mg metformin p/d.

Did you have ovarian drilling, lap and dye done? I did in December 2012. Only after that I started to ovulate! It's going to be an exciting year.

Congrats and all the best. X
 
Hello! Thanks and congrats to u as well! Sounds like you had to go thru a lot but im so happy u got your lil bean! Its def an exciting year! When is your first scan and how far long are u? I fortunately didnt have to go thru any of that not sure if the clomid would would of worked for me cause i stopped it to lose weight and thats what triggered my ovulation! 42 lbs lighter now im def hoping for a much healthier pregnancy than if i would of been heavier!
 
Hey girls can I buddy up?
Am due on dec 13th, been TTC with PCOS for over 3 years. Had lap and dye, clomid, nothing worked. Took some time off TTC for a few months before ovarian drilling later in the year and fell pg naturally! Over the last 8 months I've also lost 4 stone which I'm sure has helped massively at letting me ovulate naturally. Was in metformin but now stopped. So excited to start this journey!
 
Welcome bonnie! :flower:

I had my 8 week scan today. One perfect little bean with a heart rate of 164bpm :happydance:
 
Yeay for your scan! Had one a few days ago and saw heartbeat but couldn't hear it. Am so excited to hear it for the first time! Any of you guys buying/bought a doppler? Am in 2 minds about getting one x
 
Hi.. Im preg with 2nd baby . I have pcos and have been on metformin 500mg tds, seems to have worked for me, although been advised to stop taking metformin now as preg.... good luck to you all x
 
Welcome bonnie and congrats! Love seeing fellow pcos women get bfps!
And thats great ready2bmum! I got to see my lil bean's hb 1 week ago! Such a relief
And congrats to u too sopho!
 
Hey soph, it's strange my doc took me off metformin too but a lot of people seem to carry on throughout! Don't know the advantages really.
So happy we have all got our BFP's . My doc always told me that it would happen when we stopped trying and after 3 years we just had a 2 month break, and a real break completely forgot about TTC, and BAM, there was my BFP!
 
Ahh congrats bonnie.. its amazing isnt it,, this is my 2nd . I started metformin last time and within 1 month i was preg.. This time weve been ttc 9 months ..Only v early days for me still but feel so lucky to be given the chance of being a mummy again ..hope all goes well for you x
 
I'm continuing with metformin for the first 3 months. My local fertility clinic recommend all their pcos patients remain on it as it has been proven to massively reduce the rate of miscarriage in people with pcos. It was explained to me the pcos rate of miscarriage is roughly 49%. The metformin brings it back to the normal range of 15%-20% (obviously this is the initial stages of pregnancy)
We decided to stick with it anyway.

That's interesting. I've actually never been on metformin but I wonder what that has to do with the progesterone levels. I'm gonna have to research that now. It has me interested!
 
Hey girls how are u all cooking? Have had a good few days, my ms seems to be much improved which is such a nice break but at the same time I'm worried something isn't right! Ahhhh pregnancy, can turn any same woman into a crazy person!
 
Hi ladies! Can I join in too?

got my BFP 4 days ago! I too have PCOS and am now pregnant with my first :)

Went to doctor yesterday and she told me to stop my metformin. I had already stopped as fertility doctor told me the minute I find out to stop taking it.

Congrats to you all!
 
Hey bonnie cooking has just started back for me and thats only when i can handle it. I had few days of being free from nausea and then it came back! Bleh!
And yes this is def a roller coaster ride! Lol

Welcome flibberty! Congrats on your bfp! Whens your edd or how far long are u?
