Thanks veganlily I'm already finding comfort in the words of others, so reassuring talking to women who of the same or simliar age to me and in the same position. I am hoping that I will soon get my positive result and sending luck to everyone else too.Wow this thread's been busy and I've only been away for one day!!!
gypsygirl - I find doctors in general seem always too busy and too tired to really figure out what is wrong with us. Since about 5 years ago, I took my health into my own hands and before I see a doctor about anything (except for emergencies of course), I do as much research as I can and I go in there with a printed sheet of questions so I am equipped to do a diagnosis WITH them. If you just rely on them, they pick something random and throw some meds at it. It's sad reallyI learned this when I was having a lot of GI issues and went to see a GI specialist. She labelled me as IBS which like 9 out of 10 women get pinned with and gave me some meds to try which I did and they helped. But when I ran out of the samples she gave me and did research on how to get more, it turned out it was some controversial medicine that many articles said no one should take for more than two weeks!!! And she gave me 4 weeks worth. I was done with trusting doctors after that. In the end, they're human over-educated, overtired and overconfident but in the end, they're people just like you and me
So I suggest you go in there and talk about all you've learned from here and other reading and make it clear to them that you are worried it's not PCOS and you want a second, more thorough look. Of course, be nice but stern as poor attitude won't get you anywhere.
smimms - my cycles range from 27-31 days. What are BFP fertility charts???

Hi Alisa! I'm an ACSM certified exercise physiologist and keeping up with your normal workouts is perfectly fine -- as a matter of fact, I find that it keeps my mind off the 2WW for me!!
Here is a link from ACSM regarding exercise and pregnancy - although, it doesn't cover the 2WW period.
Hopefully this helps! I'll see if I can dig up any additional information on my end!
Muchas Gracias Muchacha!! I feel that exercise is a crucial part of being healthy (body & mind), and being healthy means healthy eggs, and healthy eggs means healthy babies!!! Have my fingers crossed for all of us!!! I can't wait to test!!!
I'm sure grkprn knows best but all I was told is that I can keep going as I am now but if I am unsuccessful after several months, I can try decreasing the intensity (no jumping, running, bouncing of any kind) around implantation only. Just to be sure! Exercise is very important indeed! I totally agree
I think that no jumping, running, etc. around the time of implantation makes complete sense!
Hm...this is definitely food for thought!
No worries at all! I figured it was me since it was my post in your response It takes a bit of getting used to but you'll get the hang of it all in no time! And of course, we're happy to help. There is a good page I used for the first week that explains all the abbreviations! Check it out:
Tomorrow is a big day for you right? Hope you wake up to a tomorrow!
Welcome gold member! I understand what you are going through. It took me 8 months to conceive and that sadly ended in a mc. It's been 8 months now since the mc and every month that goes by tears my heart more and more. I also feel that everyone around me gets pg within 3 months of trying. It's hard to hear. I hope you get the support you are looking for here.
Grkprn, your chart looks VERY promising!
shows so who knows! Your temps are still above your coverlid so try to stay positive When are you due to test?
