Thanks ladies
Just got all caught up with the thread.
Hann - sorry about your neck but nice to hear things are happening with the doctors finally! I hope you don't have pcos. My results were unsure. I think I have it. I have all the classic symptoms and they all got much better on bc and now since I've come off the bc they've all gotten worse. However, doc told me my bloods all look great and don't indicate pcos but I have the cysts in both ovaries. I wonder if the bloods had an issue and were wrong. No biggie though as she still gave me the meds. For you, it's prob a good sign it's only one ovary which is prob why you do ovulate on your own. Prob all depends which side is working for you each month. Are there some months you haven't ov? Could be that you don't ov when it's that ovary doing the work but then you're fine when it's the other side. If that's the case clomid may be a really good choice to try as it can help multiple eggs release. There's a chance of multiples though on clomid and with metformin. That friend I have whose prego with the twins used clomid and metformin. She has pcos but is a rare case as she has zero symptoms besides simply not ovulating. Her cycle was normal and everything but she never ov and didn't know it. (side note - I saw her on our trip and she's looking so cute with her twin bump!! So exciting!) Anyway, I think it's good news one side looks fine. Fx for ya babe!
Happycpl - sorry about hubs test results
hang in there. You hear all the time how as soon as couples stop trying they get pregnant so maybe taking a break would be good. Also have you tried Preseed? It's supposed to help the
move along better to the egg so maybe that could help in your hubby's case? GL!!
Isaac - that's great youre getting into the docs and will hopefully get some answers! Fx!
Elt - fx that the b vits help your LP!
Anyone else still around? I saw Banana and Mello and Jessica and Sanchez posting back when I first left but doesn't seem like they've been around much more recently. Are you girls still here? How are you doing?
Afm - just light spotting this morning but now there's some more bleeding and actually feeling some light cramping so I. Gonna go ahead and call it a period
lol never thought I'd be so happy to see that
!!! Such a relief to start a fresh cycle! I was almost to cd100!!!!! So dumb! Hopefully the light and weird period is just due to the fact I haven't ov. Though I expected a bad one after waiting so long. :shrugs: guess I'll see how this one turns out. Maybe the bleeding will be lit but last awhile. Who knows. The other good news is I'm doing great on the metformin. The first day it did a real number on my intestines and I thought it was going to be a nightmare but since that first dose Monday morning I've been totally fine. No low blood sugar symptoms and no typical metformin issues like nausea etc. hooray! I do still need to up the dose though. Doc said if I'm good for the first week to double the dose so that will start Monday. We'll see how that goes. Not sure if the metformin is responsible for my period starting or if it just happened or if it's the Vitex but whatever it is I'm glad
FX I may actually ov this month!!!! Though I've read that while metformin got periods going, a lot of women then didn't ov for a few months. time will tell.
The other thing is my hubs and I have startedthe Dukan diet. It's a very hi protein/low carb diet. My cousins have been on it and are doing great and since laying off carbs and sugar is recommended for the metformin we thought it would be a good thing to try. So far I. Sick to death of protein and dying for cereal haha but eventually my body should adjust to not getting the carbs for fuel and start using my existing fat stores instead! Losing weight is one of the best ways to help pcos and infertility so hopefully this will help a lot!
all around!
