[MamaMac123]

Well....I apparently did NOT ovulate lol Oh well....just pcos temps being nutso I guess.

 

[Hann12]

Are you sure today's temp is accurate mama? That's a big temp drop!

Banana - I have hope for you this month. You definitely have a similar chart to my bfp one snd I also had lots of creamy cm too. Really hope it's a bfp month!!

happy

38 weeks today, baby should be here in 2-3 weeks in theory!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Yeah I'm pretty sure. I took it 3 times to be sure and I was racking my brain for some reason to dismiss it but there's nothing. Went to bed on time, totally normal sleep, didnt get up at all. Must just be the pcos. My one positive thought is it could theoretically be a pre ov temp drop. Will def dtd tonight to make sure we're covered. It is normal ov time if my body is behaving normally so maybe. Still not holding my breath though.

My son is almost 5yrs old so my bf and I are ttc this will be my bf first and my 2nd.

 

[banana07]

Sorry you did Ov yet. I logged on this morning to see your temp for today as Hann said yesterday was such a huge dip but I forgot about the time difference its only 2.30am where you are and 9.30am here so I bet your all tucked up in bed!!!

Welcome Shey - Have you just started trying or have you been trying a while?

Afm, got my day21 (really day20) bloods back yesterday they were only 23 same as previous month without clomid so going to ring consultant today she said she wants to see it over 40 so I would say she will up my clomid dose. Temp is very very slowing dipping am 8/9 dpo today - FF says AF is due Thursday but I think its Tuesday / Wednesday. Will wait and see!!

Good morning ladies. I just wanted to drop in and say hi. It's been a difficult week or so. I'm now on CD5 so I'll start Clomid again. I can't believe it's that time again.

Hann - Not much longer for ya. I can't believe it's almost "go" time

Banana - You're chart looks great. You don't normally have lots of CM do you?

Mama - I was wondering after seeing your temp drop if that could have been OV for you. I hope it has happened since you have your bases covered how wonderful it would be if your body straightened itself out this month and decided to do it all on its own. Are you using OPK?

 

[banana07]

Hey Happy - I am fully expecting the witch next week but yet I know nothing can prepare me for the devestation she will bring with her. Really really getting sick the whole thing now, so god knows how bad I will be next week if I feel this crappy now.

Not sure about my Chart you and Hann have said it looks good ye obv know more then me but when I compared it against the charts like mine only 20% ended in pregnancy rest in just normal Ov cycle. Yesterday it was 39%.

I do usually have a good bit of Creamy CM in the Tww but this was an awful lot.

Really not holding out any hopes tho. Just don't feel it really

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning ladies,

Banana - looking at your chart your raised temps don't seem super high. My first cycle on clomid was the same, I ov but the temps didnt raise to high above norm which I figure meant the hormone levels weren't high enough. The next cycle with an upped dose my temp rise looked much more dramatic. Hopefully when you up your dose it will boost those hormone levels and give you a good strong ov. Of course I do Fahrenheit temps so that may account for your temps seeming lower to me hang in there! It's now just a mattet of tweaking your dosage. Your on a good path! Think positive!

Happy - sorry it's been a rough week Hun. Just remember, it takes perfectly health couples an average of 3-6 cycles to concieve. Now you've got the clomid give it those few cycles to do the job...hopefully you and banana will have bfp's before we know it!

Afm - big jump back up in temp today and a general feeling of too warm all over. Got the windows open letting the cool air in because I just feel hot and uncomfortable. Hoping that may indicate I did ov. We'll see. Ff gave back my crosshairs but I think if I did ov it was prob yesterday. No opks this cycle. I told myself and DH all I'd do this cycle is my metformin and temp. I wouldn't even temp but my fear is that I'd ov and not know it and then I'd be scared to take provera if it turns out I need it so I decided I'd rather know if ov happens or not. I almost caved to get a test yesterday but DH talked me out of it. Will be cool if I did ov but also I'm okay if my temps are just wacky. I didn't expect ov this cycle so if it happens it will be a very happy surprise and if it doesn't its okay because it's why I planned on. the next few days will tell....

Banana07 I have been trying for awhile but nothing so now I'm really really trying this time.

Hi am very new to this sort of chatting but thought I would give it a try.
Here is my story. After ttc for 2 years my husband and I finally got our bfp only to lose our baby 2 weeks later, surprisingly 6 weeks after the miscarriage I got another bfp and my ob put me on progesterone and clexane injections to see if this would help but unfortunately I lost the baby again at 10 weeks. It has now been 6 mths since our last miscarriage and since then have been diagnosed with PCOS which is really frustrating. Even though I ovulate and I get my periods I have a short luteal phase where my follies do not mature enough. My ob has now put me on 50mg clomid which I started yesterday and 250mg metformin. We are hoping this combo works and we get a sticky bean this time. Will keep everyone updated on progress.

 

[MamaMac123]

Welcome Kristie, I too have pcos and have been on metformin and clomid so we're in the same medical boat it seems. DH and I have been ttc for almost a year. No bfp here yet. I'm so very sorry about your miscarriages. It's one of my biggest fears with pcos that we'll finally get our baby just to lose it. my heart just aches for you. Fx that the meds will help get you a nice little sticky bean! Welcome to the group

 

[MamaMac123]

Hi ladies,

Another big temp drop for me today so I'm feeling pretty sure there's been no ov. Oh well, just waiting for AF now. If she hasn't shown herself by cd30 I'll go ahead with provera and then onto my next clomid cycle.

Also, today is the one year anniversary of DH and I deciding to start ttc. Took a few more weeks to finish up bc and really start trying but we decided it was time to start a year ago today... really didnt think a year later we'd still be ttc...sigh kinda a bummer to the day.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[elt1013]

mama!

 

[runnergrl]

yes indeed, mama!

and Elt, already 10 weeks?? wow! thats going by super fast!

 

[Shey]

Wow runnergrl you're almost there! How are u doing?

 

[elt1013]

Yes...yay for 10 weeks!!! According to my midwife, I am 10 weeks Tuesday, but considering I know when I ovulated (early that month), I set my tickers according to my calculations.
I haven't been on much, so I guess I could give everyone a little update. I'm still feeling pretty bad most days, so I'm hoping that ends soon. I had my 1 hour glucose tolerance test a couple weeks ago, and the results were "borderline", so I had to fast tonight and I go in the morning for the more extensive 3 hour test. Wish me luck ladies as I don't need gestational diabetes on top of all the other difficulties I tend to have during pregnancy!

Hi all, I'm new to the site. I also have PCOS. Was diagnosed at 18yo and told I'd never have kids. Even took Clomid, nothing. Only had 4 periods 2010. Ended up with a surprise 6 mos later and got my little miracle in August 2011. Now we're trying for #2! I never had CM until I had my Mirena removed in Feb. DH and I BD this afternoon and I had EWCM a few hrs later and all night tonight, with a little cramping and lower back ache. On CD 11 of a 27 day cycle. I'm new to all this so.... any advice? Anyone know if EWCM is on the day before you O or on O day? I don't like OPK, tried em and i guess because of my PCOS they just don't work... used one the cycle before BFP with DS and didn't get anything so I'm using the CM method for now.

 

[MamaMac123]

Hi Amanda, welcome to the group! I also am Amanda actually haha but on here I go by Mama I also have pcos and love hearing that you ha a successful pregnancy! DH and I are working on #1 and feeling very frustrated by it all. It's nice to hear there's hope! Can I ask how things happened with your first? Were you on any meds? Had you just recently stopped meds?

I'm currently on metformin and have been on clomid for 5 cycles but the clomid stops working after just a cycle or two unless we up the dose. I'm taking this cycle off clomid to just see what my body does on its own. Then next cycle I'm back to clomid.

I too have found opks don't work great for me. When I ovulate the line gets darker but I've never had a truly positive test. I find temping is the only way for me to know if I really ovulate or not. Cm tracking is tricky with pcos as it can affect it and I know with clomid it can dry up cm so it's very hard to track ov that way. If its going the way it should you should usually have ewcm for a day or two before ov. Then after ov it would go away. Do you track bbt? If not I'd recommend it. Fertility friend is a great tool for ttc.

Good luck!
