Post-pill irregular cycles support thread!!

[Trishg21]

trish, how are you doing?? I dont think Ive seen an update from you in awhile?

I am doing well thank you! Yeah I have been a little MIA while trying to pull myself together. I was also out of town for 10 days.

I am doing much better. I went to my doctor and had a long talk and we decided that I was going to go back on my medication (anxiety). I had gotten off when we started trying but as it turns out I did not handle it too well

It is a little bit of a risk, but as my doctor said so is being pregnant and feeling the way I was feeling. My head is on much straighter now.

I just started my 3rd round of clomid today. BFN last month but I am just happy that I ovulated and my period started without any help. I am feeling really confident about this month

How have you all been? I need to go back in the thread and try to catch up on all I missed!

 

[missangie]

Hi Trishg21 welcome back!
Glad you have sorted yourself out and are feeling much better. Yay for your third round of clomid! I hope this is the round for you!!


Hey Ladies,
My update... still not sure if I did O or not. Because I don't have any reliable temps from CD 1-14 FF isn't sure. TBH I feel like I have... but I also don't want to get my hopes up and then be crushed if my temp goes down. I'm staying positive and envisioning my little egg being met by a chorus of cheers from little What also complicates things is I changed my temp taking time from 7:30am to 6am so I can't even go back and look at last "cycle" to see what is different or the same lol!

Oh well, I guess wait and see. I'll keep working away at my homework and head off to the gym for some light cardio. Now of course, I'm worried that If I do my regular workout I'll somehow harm anything good that might be happening in there!

Hi everyone, my POAS obsession has begun. I tested yesterday and it was only 8dpo, silly i know. definitely BFN. I tested again this morning thinking it would for sure be BFN too but right after 5 min (it says to check results after 5 min so I set timer and hopped in shower) I got out and saw the faintest line but its there. I showed DH and he first kinda got mad that I was testing so early but then said he saw a second line. he sent me a message at work later today saying he is very encouraged about this cycle for us... Definitely not celebrating as it was barely there and I have had an evap on the ICs before. Cant wait to pee tomorrow! ;-)

 

[Reba]

That's exciting missangie!
Keep us posted!

 

[wouldluvabub]

Wow!! I hope this is it for you!!! How exciting will keep checking back to see how you go!! This thread is lucky!

 

[missangie]

I couldnt wait, I came home from work and held my pee for 3 hours and tested on another IC and got a faint positive but it was darker then this morning. Ran out and got an answer test and took it just now. BFP! Two pink lines, faint positive but 100% positive.

Prayers for darker lines and most importantly a growing, healthy, sticky bean!!!!

 

[Reba]

Yay!! Congrats!
I hope I follow you all soon!

Hi guys!

Many congrates Missangie! Really pleased for you!!!
This thread is so positive at the moment!! I love it and really wanna join you pregnant ladies soon!

I had my ultrasound scan on the 18th July. It looks likely I have PCOS though I'm returning to my doctors next Wed 3rd Aug (mine and OH anniversary) to have it confirmed. Feeling really sorry for myself and I bit scared they may tell me I have other things wrong with me. I don't even know what they will do with me!! Any one in the UK know what they will suggest. My last doctor said she'll prescribe Clomid next year because I'm young and not been trying for a year yet!! I'm CD167 and so frustrated!!

Missangie, I noticed you've been TTC since April 10 are you from the UK? How were you prescribed Clomid!!

I'm a very impatient person anyway and hates waiting for anything, really hope they don't make me wait more months until they will help us!

Sorry to be negative and whiney! Can't really vent or ask questions like this to anyone else!!

I'm in Australia so I can not be any help in relation your UK questions but I have PCOS too and I got my BFP without any help from medications so it CAN happen!!! Don't loose hope! I will keep my fingers crossed for you but the way this thread is going you will get your BFP soon!!!

Hey lemonflower - I'm still not sure if I have PCOS or not. I was undergoing tests but got pregnant before the diagnosis could be completely confirmed. I do have the symptoms though - skin, hair, irregular cycles, etc etc....

Anyway, my GP referred me to a specialist and said that the specialist would probably put me on metformin for starters. It is worth having a read up about it - whereas clomid works on ovulation only, metformin works on all other symptoms i.e. you are supposed to come more regular, your skin is supposed to get better etc.

It might be you are put on metformin then for a while to see if that works. If not, they could then try clomid.

It is difficult though as practice seems to vary so much between drs within the UK (let alone between the UK and abroad!).

Let us know how you get on x

Thank you!! Im in the US. We have been trying since April 2010 and I saw the doctor in August 2010 because I hadnt gotten my period, they pretty much told me to wait. I went again in October and they since i had only one period from April-October they decided to start all the testing. I got a bunch of bloodwork done, internal ultrasound and then a few months later they had my hubby do SA and me do more bloodwork and I dont have PCOS i guess I just dont ovulate... and then in June (or May?) I had an HSG done and after that they gave me clomid.

Good luck to you, be persistent with your doctors! You will get your BFP, maybe you will get it while you wait for help from the drs!!

 

[Reba]

Yay Missangie! I'm so excited for you.

Lemonflower - I think what struth said summed it up. It depends on the dr. I have pcos and my gynecologist has no fears about mr getting pregnant. She in fact told me it would happen. She will be putting me on meds around September if nothing happens for us by then. Keep your chin up it is possible

My update!

OMG I OV'd!! With the super high temps discarded from earlier in the month it's saying 4 dpo, however, if I discard all the temps from the beginning of the month it would be 6 dpo!! So I'm going to go with 4 so that I'm not stressing myself out unnecessarily. I'm trying to decide when to go and get a blood test done to check for progesterone. I'm thinking 4 days post O I should have enough in my system to show that I have O'd. My temps are still fairly low though so maybe I don't have enough! ugh! Either way FF is saying I O'd! First time since BCP in March!! Woo!

 

[Trishg21]

I already posted in the clomid thread but congrats again Miss Angie! 1st round of Clomid too! Wow!
