thanks hun, my level is normally 19 at 7dpo and my fs is happy with that i have no problems with ovulation anymore, are your cycles mostly regular

ive just noticed you have very long cycles has anyone mentioned putting you on clomid

 

[sianyld]

no hun, we have been ttc for 15months, range between 38-45 but this cycle is CD62 and now spotting!

levels so far have always been around 2.8/2.9 so i think i may have O'ved for the first time since coming off BCP in may 09. Been diagnosed with PCOS a few wks ago and have started taking metformin, they wont give me clomid till i try the met first im so not happy with the gynae, we go bck in oct for another app and pretty much going to beg him for clomid....AGAIN x

from past experience i think that they will try and make your cycles shorter i was on clomid first and then metformin for a while a few years ago, also pcos isnt necessaraly for life i had it for about 5 yrs and no longer have it i got the all clear this year my levels used to be 2 or 3 and as i said are now 19 and they said thats fine so you might not always have this

good luck to you

just an idea if you dont already use them it might be worth getting some cheapy opks from ebay and use them throughout your cycle so you can pinpoint ovulation

 

[sianyld]

thank u hun, u've been a great help- i get why they would wanna make my cycles shorter, just feel the met wont do it 4 me. have lost a stone in the last 3 months and am hoping its made some difference!
im hppy i oved this month after a long long cycle think i oved on well into cd 40's or early 50's!
thanks again for ur help and good luck to u 2 x

its losing weight and becoming more active that did it for me i was very overweight around 15 and half st and i got down to 8st (i am 5ft 2 so meant to be small) as soon as i lost the first couple of stone it all started to become more normal and less painful

OMG! hun thats fantastic! u lost nearly half ur body weight! i am now 12st 4
down from 13st 4lbs....never been small and am 5'5 almost!!! my bmi has dropped to under 30 so can get treatments but would like to drop another 2 stone to be my ideal weight... wat did u do to lose all that weight??

with OPKs have got them and used them this cycle. i have soy iso lined up for this cycle, preseed, the met, pre natal vits, grapefruit juice and my BBT therm oh an OPK's xx

it took me about 2 yrs i calorie counted and switched everything to low fat low sugar versions and regular exercise around 60 mins a day, i was always very tiny until i had surgery and gained loads of weight whilst i hospital and it just crept up and up i think the way i was feeling about not conceiving didnt help one bit but then my first fs told me i had to lose weight so after being very angry with him for being so rude i realised he was right and it also gave me something else to focus on

 

[sianyld]

well done to u hun. i am a veggie and for better words a very fussy eater! i hate it!
