TTCAL PCOS thread

[hb1]

Hiya Chocs - been looking around and all I can find about treating the high LH is Met, weight loss ( not applicable to you ) and the pill - not really handy for TTC!!!! not sure how the clomid interacts with the lh hormone - make sure you bring this up with your specialist!!

Fingers crossed for the ov - this will be where your temping comes right in handy!

Hi Nat go girl on the weightloss!!!! Truly fabulous!! Have put on a pound - hoping it's because I'm due my AF - fxd - keeping plugging on the excercise - saw the balance board on amazon but seems quite pricey - might be worth seeing if any deals come out soon!

Thanks for looking - I will make a note to ask the specialist, I think my met needs increasing as still getting the acne - but then again up until recently I didnt know too much about diet and PCOS and now it turns out I was eating way too much of the wrong stuff so that probably didnt help!
Am changing my diet to low gi and drinking more water so hope that will help too, so may not need to up the Met after all.

Thanks for your help - ps - Charting is fab - for once I can then know exactly what my body is doing! Although my temp rose again today but my time was a bit out etc. see what tomoz brings!

The met actually sensitises you to insulin - even with only low GI good chance you would still be resistant to insulin - prob depends on how insulin resistant you are to start with - poss ask the specialist about that to

Bumpyboo - they advise 2lb a week as a good steady weight loss - 3 1/2 lbs isn't a whole way off this - you're doing well also! hx

Im suppose 3 and 1/2 pound off is better than 3 and a 1/2 pound on!! Im sure you can do it, uve done so well up to now! Im doing ok, still no sign of AF since the miscarriage and been having alot of tummy pains so been to the doctors and theyve done a smear and swabs and get the results next wednesday so fingers crossed it will be ok! Been having lots of pregnancy symptoms though, the same as before but ive done test after test and there all negative xxxxxxxxxx

Hi BumpyBoo - just wanted to say that I still have pregnancy signs at times - so I am not trusting any signs in the 2ww!! I still taste that metalic taste in my mouth, and in the last 2ww I felt more tired, bit sick at times and also my boobs hurt way more than any other cycles!!
Maybe its just normal to feel like that sometimes but we notice it more now?



I wondered if any other PCOS'ers use OPK tests? Ive heard they may not work for us, as I guess wed have an elevated LH level - but does anyone gear up for ovulation and get a positive opk then not ovulate till a week later?
I got a positive opk today and body is saying its ov time, buts like a week early ........ hoping its the real deal and not cruel tricks!

 

[hb1]

I'm going to start using the CB fertility monitor so will let you know how that works out - it only cites long or irregular cycles as a problem so hoping that I'll be ok as used to be regular - I say used to as my first af after mc was 35 days after 1st day of bleeding in mc and I am currently on day 30 of this cycle - used to be 29 days - so can really expect it any day up to Wed next week. I was going to do pg test but have decided to leave it for now - at least get through the 35 days !!! Goddam it - I genuinely thought that I would revert back to my old cycles!!! what a muppet!

BIG WELL DONE HUN.... so so pleased for you hun xxxxxxxx

Its all going very wrong for me,i have lost a big fat 0 sooooooo gutted as my appointment is next week and still half stone to loose........no chlomid for me i think...awww could just cry as i have worked so hard,dreading the 23rd feb...not evn seeing my consultant just a registra who willl wanna do everything by the book. I was even gonna drasticly reduce food intake till appointment but my oh went a bit mental about that idea.I always feel that I make the last mile of any marathon but never quite cross the finish line.....arghhhhhh it seems to be like that in most areas of my life.


Well done on theW/L hun your doing fab xxx
hugs
Nat

You know they might not be so harsh about that last half stone - you could step up the excercise slightly ( although if you're already pushing yourself don't take it over the edge!) I def wouldn't reduce your intake more - that isn't going to help at all in the long run.

I really wouldn't count yourself out until you've seen the registrar - if they look at your weightloss then I genuinely don't see how they could get all pedantic over your last few pounds - especially if you impress upon them that you are continuing to work on it.

I had a plateau too and out weight on ( i mean come on - wouldn't mind if I'd eaten a cake!!) and it's soooo disheartening!! Just step up the aerobic activity ( no muscle workouts till after the appointment!! ) and see if that kick starts you again? Also - poss try swapping your meals around? - largest meal at lunch and smallest meal at tea time? have heard that this works more in line with how you use your energy ?

Keeping my fingers crossed Nat!!

Dont panic just yet ...... hopefully they wont be nitty picky over the last few pounds, they may even say come back in a week or 2.
How many pounds have you lost in how many weeks? They may just see that their target is too hard for the amount of time!

I agree, try to eat your biggest meal earlier in the day and the smallest at bed time. They recommend to eat a big breakfast and then reduce as the day goes on. I always feel a lot lighter in the morning after going to bed after a small tea.

Good luck - I think they will let you try it, or worst case scenario say come back in a week or 2
