Plus Size & TTC. Who's With Me?

[comet1234]

Dotted crosshairs means that something on your chart contradicts the day you may have ovulated. So maybe another high soft open cervix or watery or egg white cm again can cause it. Ff is very sensitive though so nothing to really worry about. Because I'm having a long cycle ff removed mine, even though I definitely ovulated.

UGH! Just what I need more confusion lol. I'm so confused everything this cycle contradicts itself. I was using IC opk's and they weren't changing at all so I felt "wet" and got a pos opk with a digi and then temps confirmed it. But I kept doing the opk's because I was confused how the 2 could be so different. I got another smiley on 8dpo then spotted randomly only on the TP on 10-12dpo. Now I'm 21dpo and I have tons of cm again. I took an opk last night because normally I only get cm when I O but the digi said neg. I've never checked my cervix. Not sure if I would even know how.

I would say that you ovulated on the day you think you did, because you got a positive opk and a temp rise and cm. They say you can get more positive opks when you get closer to the af time due to lh building up again.

What type of cm is it?

I never used to check my cervix either and was not sure how to. However, it's quite easy, it's just a little soft bump at the top and you will start to notice the changes fast. Mine is usually slightly open all the time and when it gets to ovulation time it gets really really open. It's different for everyone. X

Hi ladies! Mind if I join?
I'm 5'5" and weigh 215lbs. ugh..lol. Anyhow last year a week before our wedding, we found out we were pregnant, obviously we weren't ttc, but not doing much preventing either.. Long story short, we lost the pregnancy at 13weeks. I didn't get a positive preg test until about a week and a half passed missed af.. so it happens.. Anyhow, we've been ttc since then.. we are now on month 2 with our fertility specialist. I am insulin resistance, so he put me on Glumetza (metformin) and I also just started clomid last night days 5-9. We are going in Friday for an ultrasound to see the size of the follicles, and then schedule HCG and IUI. This is our first round of IUI and HCG.. we've done 4 cycles of clomid before and nothing.. so hoping this with metformin and working out will help.. Good luck to everyone of you!

Oh I didn't know you could get pos opk's close to AF. I only got the one smiley on 8dpo and neg after that. I've had creamy cm until yesterday I noticed ewcm. All this cm confuses me because it's just not normal for me!

Hi everyone I am also plus sized (size 18) and TTC #1. My size generally doesn't bother me and I'm pretty comfortable with myself.

DH and I have been trying since September.... things are stressful since I have endometriosis, and being off the pill makes this TTC process very painful! Every time AF comes it's super painful and feels like a failure.

Glad to meet other curvy ladies here

I'm size 18/20 depending on the clothing line, and I'm trying to lose weight to help aide the process, but I eat pretty healthy already and work out a lot to. Maybe I'm just doomed to weigh this much? Haha. I've cut out soda to just one a day, so maybe that will help.

Baby dust to all ~

Hello Ladies,

So I have question has any one else ever been on Provera? I had my first apt with my new OBGYN yesterday and she was amazing! She was warm and friendly and while we did discuss my weight I didn't feel condemned like I have with past Drs.

Basically I don't get regular visits from AF...when I was younger my periods were all over the place so I went on BCP at age 16 to regulate them and came off this year (10 years on the pill) My Dr suspects PCOS and is ordering a pelvic ultrasound. In the meantime she wants me to try Provera to first get me to have a period haven't had on in 4 months and second sometimes this helps your body jump start its self??

I haven't started Provera yet still reaserching it and thought maybe some of you could give me feedback?

Overall I am so excited everything else checked out blood pressure, sugar, hormones, pelvic exam we have the green light to baby make away!!!

Thanks,

Sarah

Hello everyone!

Ttc n hopeful : did the ewcm lead to anything else or has it gone again?

Tirimsu: hello, I know your pain I have pcos and it gets very painful especially when not on any form of birth control.

Sugarplum: good luck with the weight loss! Slowly but surely wins the race!

Mrslcs: I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Wishing you so much luck in this journey. Do you have pcos?

Byhisgrace: hello, I can't offer you any information on provera but wish I had it to bring my period on. I have read many a story on here of women saying it jump started their cycles back to normality.
I'm glad everything checked out fine and good luck on your hopefully quick journey x

I'm still in limbo land. I took a FRER yesterday and it appears negative, took another opk last night and it was def positive and now today I have an unsure hpt. I will include pics in order of the 3 above.

 

[comet1234]

Mrs lcs: oh okay, does that affect you in the same kinda way pcos does with the hormones?

Ttc: I can't see much of the final hcg because the kindle will not allow me to make the picture bigger . But I can see the opk and that's a blazing positive, what cycle day are you? X

I'm on cd56. That was yesterday's opks today they changed super fast. Within 30 secs it was that dark, my body is being extra cruel this cycle. This is the third time for pos opk's, I would say I was o'ing but FF confirmed it on the first opk and then I had spotting. But from my opinion my hpt is neg unless you tweak it and then you can SORTA see a line. I'm ready to get off this rollercoaster lol.

 

[comet1234]

Oh dear . Have you had any other symptoms of maybe o'ing again?
I know how you feel cd 95 for me x

yep, my body doesn't use insulin as it should, so that's why im overweight and can not lose weight, hairy, and my hormones are always out of whack..but the Glumetza (metformin) regulated it very nice. So, yes, I sort of do have PCOS, but just the insulin resistance/hairy/overweight parts of it.

Yep, this time I have the sore boobs, both times before I just had the ewcm. (tmi) 95? AHHHH!! Sorry hun!
