Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[aidensmommy1]

Hi everyone!!
Mary so you are 3 dpo, the waiting game begins..
Jess get well soon..
Megan I hope your pregnancy is smooth n praying for a healthy baby for you

Now my part of story..since the Last Af Iam having severe pulling and tugging pains in ovaries and the uterus..its been a very dragging pain, i was ignoring it all throughout, so my Dh took me to a gynaec and she was worried that i might have ectopic pregnancy..got beta hcg done..result hcg 2 ..which means negative..
Then she just gave me pain killers .
But my symptoms are worrisome..as i have dizziness and pain even after taking pain killers..I scared this might be endometriosis..my lower abdomen feels heavy and bloated.
Need your prayers..
I think am going to get a thorough check up done when I go to India..my home country..I know a very good gynaec there..so i guess have to wait for a month n manage with pain killers..

you may just be someone who gets very strong O pains. I get pinches, dizziness, headaches, etc when I'm O'ing. It all worried me at first too but apparently I'm all normal (besides my tube, which I'm praying is open! Its now been 60 days exactly since I started the enzymes!) anyways, id keep temping and just watch ur temp pattern for now and hopefully we'll b able to put ur pain with an O rise or something. The other thing could be a cyst. Its very common for cysts to form after O and ive had one before that hurt soo bad that I went to the ER, they too thought ectopic but then they did an ultrasound and catscan and found a cyst the size of a golf ball on my ovary. It was very Easily taken care of with birth control bills tho and after my one & a half months on bcp, I conceived Aiden! . Just something for u to ask the docs about. Good luck hun and I hope u feel better!!! And asap!!!

They did an ultrasound scan but said that i dont have any cyst. Yes you are right about the O pains..as i have them for 2 days.,but never experienced it right after my af n continue for soo long...
Please do keep looking at my charts n let me know if u find any chances of O..

I definitely will be stalking your chart!

You picked a good thread

While I'm not TTC anymore, I could still help you out if you have questions, or just need to vent. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 18 after 3 years of asking my Dr. if there was anyway I could have it due to unexplainable weight gain and absent/irregular cycles. It took a long time, but I'm now 11wks with our first baby. Miracles happen, and I swear this feeling is worth the wait!

Hi Sarah
Welcome to the group TTCing is hard but we are all here to support you! We all have issues of our own but getting heard out helps. I'm also ttc#1 after a loss with no success yet.

Congrats Chelsea! H&H 9 months ahead ..

 

[SarahLou372]

Thanks for the warm welcomes ladies

I get my self down with my Pcos and I get angry because the one thing I would really desire is impossible to reach. I'm on metformin at the moment and after a few weeks of being on it I had my first natural af! And I don't have af on my own

So glad the metformin is working for you! How many mg's are you on? I started at 2000mg (of course, I worked up to it) but I was only able to take the 2000 for a few weeks before it started to make me really sick. So my Dr. said just to take 1500. I took that for a long time (never brought on AF though!), stopped in 2011 for surgery. Started back up when I got the go ahead, but could only take 1000 before getting super sick again. So after about 5 months of taking that, again, I started getting really sick, so I moved to one. Then I was tested again, and low and behold, no longer needed it. My insulin and glucose levels were perfect!

How long have you been TTC? Tried anything else besides metformin?

 

[SarahLou372]

I'm taking 1500mg of metformin and it made me have a upset yummy for first few weeks now in alright. And I had af after being on it for about two weeks.

I'm on CD24 now but I just feel so negative and that in going have to go through more drugs than this

I hate not being fertile

Its a great sign that the metformin is working for you already - Its good to be knowledgeable about the other medications you might have to take, but don't think just because you know about them, you're going to have to take them at some point. Focus on this for now, and work your way from there!

 

[SarahLou372]

I try everyday. I guess metformin is going something and it's a step forward at lest I maybe getting af so that's a start. I'm just at that point where I don't know what to do next

It's like I don't know what the next step is and I'm just waiting.

I bet ull get ur bean! I'm still trying with my ONLY tube being blocked at my HSG 3 months ago and I've been taking scar tissue dissolving enzymes PRAYING it'll help. The enzyme is all natural and actually helped w my cystic breasts and can help with PCOS as well (by helping you O more regularly/minimizing ovarian cysts). If u want to google it, its called serrapeptase. I truly believe its working for my tube. Scars on my skin are minimizing and within 20-30mins of taking it EVERYTIME, I get a pulsating feeling in my tube and all across my lower abdomen from where I had my surgery for my ovary/tube removal. But as I said, its proven to work for MANY different things, including PCOS. and as I said its ALL natural and NO side affects. It may be worth a shot if ur sick or meds :-\

I forgot to tell all of u that my enzyme is def def proven to help Endo by reducing the scar tissue/keeping it from growing back. There's NO side affects and couldn't hurt for now and the future!

Anyway, I just want you to know I have LOTS of hope for you! I've seen so many women conceive with this condition and I actually have a friend who was told it'd be nearly impossible for her to get pregnant on her own due to her PCOS BUT two separate times, 2 yrs apart, she tried and got pregnant within 3 months both times without even tracking much of anything! I love that story, it just goes to show how wrong docs can be! How long have u been trying? Sry if u already said. You'll be in my prayers!
PS. Do u chart temps or anything? Temping is AWESOME to help u time bding for ttc since its always best to bd the 3 days before O or every other day the wk before suspected O. Temping can teach a bunch! Plus I looove looking at all u ladies charts lol so u charting feeds my charting obsession haha

Are you just seeing a general practitioner for now? I'm not sure how they refer you in the UK, but I'm in the States and had to try by myself for at least a year before they would prescribe me anything. Usually the next step is Clomid. All in all I took 11 cycles of clomid (spaced out not all at once) but none of them worked. I tried natural herbs, etc., and while they gave me cycles, they didn't get me my BFP. After 4 years, I was finally referred to an RE, then after that an IVF "expert" in our area. After freaking out about that, I went to a different RE, same practice. That's how we finally ended up with our BFP.

Don't get too frustrated - There are a lot of women around here that can help you figure out what next steps might be right for you, that you can ask your doctor about!

Welcome Sarah. You picked a great thread for support. We have (for the most part) all been trying for a really long time together.

I uploaded a new video to yurutbe yesterday. First one since getting hem from the hospital. It's real short because I was standing.....which I'm not supposed to be doing. (Link in sig) called the doc today to get more pain pills so I don't have to ration them. I'm down to 6 as of today, which if I took them when I should be and not waiting until I hurt so bad I can't move before taking another one,I would have been out quite a few days ago.

On the ttc front: I'm still having the mild AF like cramps. Period should be here in like 3 or 4 days. I did notice yesterday that my nipples are pretty tender and my boobs are a little sore. Highly doubt it's pregnancy related, but hopefully it's a shift in hormones signaling a great period coming.

P.s. New blog post coming today on the importance of vitamin d in ttc. Check it out.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Jess, ur chart still looks good to me. I cant see ur past patterns tho without FF and its been a while since either of us have been truly trying so I cant even remember ur old charts anymore! I used to at least somewhat know your "usual" pattern. Refresh my memory, do ur temps usually stay up like that all the way until right before AF?

Hi Sarah - welcome to the group. You pick the right thread where you can vent all your anger/disappointments or anything you wanna talk about. We are family here and we'll be glad to listen and help you out.

Like you, i too was diagnosed with PCOS years back. Me and DH are TTC#1 as well. It was just last cycle when we decided to get checked. That cycle a series of tests were made including my DH which all came back normal. This cycle i managed to get HSG done as instructed by our OB so far it looks good. I started metformin last cycle which made my period looked normal compared to the previous ones. Then i was prescribed with clomid/metformin this cycle to help me produce eggs (she suspects i have poor egg quality) which includes series of scans to check whether i'm responding to clomid (200mg a day - 100 mg morning;100mg evening cd4-8). It's too much i know but i just followed my doc. I got scanned and still im a slow responder so she told me to add another set for 3more days. They grew but still not as she expected. By this time i already got sick (vertigo) then she suggested i get injectables (fostimon - FSH) for cd11-12. That one made my eggs on a very good size. So next day i got a trigger shot to release whatever is mature. I can't say if these procedures helped me since im still in TWW..... What i can say is, find a fertility specialist you start from there. We are just some girls who don't get pregnant easily sleeping with opposite sex in bed. Also, try temping. It did help me a lot, courtesy of aidensmomy1 (Mary).
