The official cerazette missing period support thread!! *NAME CHANGE*

[AmeliaLily]

Do you think the clear blue monitor is more accurate than IC opks? Might invest in one for next cycle xx

Diddums I used the clearblue digital ovulation sticks (the ones where you get a smiley face) and I thought they were good as there's no guesswork. I've heard good things about the monitor too though.
Good luck today!

Just got back from the doctors, everything was normal except for testosterone which was slightly high. The doctor I saw said that would be why I haven't had a period since November but she wouldn't want to say for sure that it was PCOS. She's referred me to another doctor at the surgery who specialises in female fertility so I have a double appointment booked with her for the 24th, she thought a double appt was a good idea incase she wants to examine me.

 

[Samie18]

At least there is a dr fertility specialist to see that should set the ball rolling quickly!

 

[Samie18]

Oh an Sophia finallllyyyyyy rolled today... only 3 times but better than none!

One proud mummy today =o)))))))

 

[annanouska]

hope they get the ball rolling quick for you

As for OV sticks- I jsut used cheap internet ones form amazon and temping. i think the smiley face ones and the monitor are meant to be good- only thing il say is if you have long cycles its a lot of sticks so gets quite expensive

glad it is the weekend-i really hate my job right now so glad of a break. ive volunteered for some overtime next week- an hour a day and 4 hrs on my day off thought the money may be handy as it will be on my last pay pack before i finish!

i tried to go on a bit of a diet today-not a proper diet but try and be extra healthy but im so hungry i seriously do not know what is wrong with me! im drinking plenty of water but jsut so very hungry. i crave proper food not junk so thats good. im glad i had a cupa noodle soup thing in my drawer for work as i couldnt wait until dinner

DH is out on call tonight so im using some bits out the freezer, you know how you get left over bits! im having fish medly, chips and beans. beans are ok chips arent and the fish is ok so not too bad for a friday treat. it beats the other craving of chicken chow mein!

hope everyone has a lovely weekend and betty enjoys parentcraft-im really excited about that! cant beleive samie has to go back to work so soon you will be going back as i finish! x

 

[betty14]

anna i cannot believe how rude that lady was, yes its harder to scan us bigger ladies but just because we carry extra weight doesnt mean we arent human and have feelings!!

have you made a complaint? even if it just means she behaves better and uses nicer phrasing in future!!

i would say if you are hungry then its because your body needs it, your body is working very hard to cook lo so as long as your not scoffing rubbish all day long then eat when you are hungry!!!

didums i just used cheapy opk so i could test twice a day from end of af on....but if you want to get a CBFM then do, it cant hurt

nexis, thats good that you have a fertility doc at your surgery i would imagine the next step will be an us to look for pcos! but now you have the ball rolling and your doc seems fab

samie thats fab!! go sophia, i bet your beaming from ear to ear!!

do you ladies think i should take a notepad with me tomorrow?

Hi guys, on CD 2 now been TTc since July & still have irregular cycles, so think I'll make a Dictors appointment as I'm fed up now. We waited years to TTC, I am regretting that now. Ehhh cant't believe some of you were newly/just before you got pregnant when I joined this thread -how far on you are

 

[AmeliaLily]

Nexis at least you haven't got too long to wait til your appointment, I'm sure they will start finding out if there is actually something wrong that they can sort out for you. At least if it is pcos you can still get pregnant!

Mrs H I would definitely go to the doctors. In my area they won't do anything til you have been trying for a year, could you say that if you need to or do they know about the cerazette? I know what you mean about waiting to TTC, you get told all your life you'll get pregnant if you look at a boy without a zillion condoms and pills and then when you do start TTC no one tells you how difficult it can be! I hope your cycles regulate for you soon.

Betty I would take a notepad! You won't remember all of what they say so might be useful!!

 

[annanouska]

have a great time betty- take a notepad- atleast if it gets boring you can draw doodles!! i hope its lots of fun ours starts on 14th may its 6.30-8.30 of a monday night for 3/4 weeks so hopefully il get to finish work early else il miss it!

Mrs H please go to the drs for some tests and support- just tell them its been over 12 months i would do. hopefully they will help you and see what there is to do.

Hope everyone is ok-had a dream last night i had a 9lb1 baby! very odd! oh yes forgot to say i was told LO is 'smaller range of average for 28 weeks' est weight of 2 1/2 lb yet my iphone ap states est weight at this time is about 2 1/4 lb so i think LO is fine! i think they have be pre booked as a supersized GD induced monster baby! i was a little baby and hubby was non-human sized! he sill is a giant! i love the advances in medicine and it saves so many lives and things but at times i think too much testing and knowledge is a bad thing- they look for problems which arent there!

its sunny here just cold ! think il put the washing out anyway-i find great pleasure in hanging washing outside pathetic!!! xxxxx

Morning ladies

Morning all. Ff finally gave me cross hairs. Now I'm just worried that it's because I've has a chesty cough and blocked nose rather than because I ov. In any case I have a drs appointment on Monday to see whether they will prescribe provera. If I get to 14dpo and no bfp I will start taking provera as it obviously means I didn't actually ov.

Nexis at least the ball is rolling. Do you know what you will be discussing at our appointment? I've made a list of things to talk to my doc about and once I get there I always forget to ask something lol

Thanks Betty and Anna. Still not sure on buying the clearblue stuff. It's so expensive and if I have another long cycle will cost me a fortune lol.

Aww yay for Sophia rolling. How old is she now Samie?

Xx

 

[Samie18]

she is 5 months now. She has always hated being on her tummy so its been impossible to get her to try, but we finally succeeded and she did it again today!!

 

[MummyToAmberx]

Hello!!
Can i just ask anyone got false neg while using cerazette ?
When found out were pregnant, much further along?

Thank you x

The doctor I saw yesterday said that the doc she's referred me to will be able to tell me exactly what the blood results show and may want to examine me. When she tells me what's going on she can then suggest what to do next, whether that be having a scan or having tablets to get things going. The doc I saw yesterday specialises in weight loss (which is why I've been seeing her) and she also suggested I try the Cambridge weight loss plan, but I've contacted them and it'd be £115 a month if the fertility doc says I have to lose weight before they'll prescribe any meds then I'm determined that I'll do it.

 

[AmeliaLily]

Isn't the Cambridge diet a meal replacement type thing with shakes and stuff? Surprised a doctor would recommend that. Have you tried slimming world?

 

[AmeliaLily]

Mummytoamber I got a BFP straight away so can't answer your question sorry!

 

[Diddums]

I did the Cambridge diet a couple years ago. It's very tough and strict but works well. However I did put most of the weight back on once I went back to normal eating. I'm now about to start slimming world and try to lose weight. With Cambridge I lost 2kg a week which didn't give my body a chance to catch up. However with slimming world I reckon I can lose 1kg a week with some mild exercise so my body has a chance to catch up of you see what I mean? The Cambridge diet is very good. But it's a very one shot diet. I tried doing it again a year ago but just the smell of the food made me throw up! I'm hopin slimming world will in the long run teach me to eat more healthy.

Hello ladies! Just jumping in to say a quick hello! We're not TTC at the moment as I'm waiting for an op to have my gallbladder removed - hopefully this Summer, fingers crossed! But I came off Cerazette about 6/7 weeks ago, we'll just call it the end of Feb. AF hasn't shown her face yet but I am still BFing so likely a mix of both things. I'm really hoping my cycles kick in soon as I'd like to start TTC no.2 as soon as my ops done : )
