PCOS is having cysts on your ovaries, it causes wacky cycles, long cycles usually and not always Oing every cycle! Even with getting AF sometimes you won't O. It also makes OPKs positive, like for me OPKs are always dark positive no matter what most of the time, this is cause of the cysts! It's a pain in the butt!

Edit: my cycles can range from a normal length month to up to three months long!

Yes my ob said something about that. I have only been off of BCP since Oct so they are gonna give me this month and Feb to get a BFP then want me to come in if I am still crazy. Last cycle I had pos. OPK but didn't O until later in my cycle and I am really hoping that I am not doing that again this month! My cycles have been 34-41 days and If I O'd Sat then this cycle will only be about 27-29 days. This TTC stuff is WAY harder then what I thought it was going to be. I really don't know how people just accidentally get pego cause we are trying and it is hard! lol

I'd suggest asking for clomid! It helps to include O, when I used it, it gave me three amazing follicles of which two eggs came out of! Although either eggs took OHs spermies, I think he has low sperm count.

Yeah he said something about putting me on a med if I don't get prego by March! I guess time will tell. Although I am hoping this isn't the case and we caught that silly egg this weekend!!!

 

[lizlovelust]

Awww good luck! I hope you did! I've Been waiting over two years to catch a dang egg!

Good afternoon ladies!
I wish I could be one of those girls that just goes with the flow and lets things happen. Unfortunately I'm a control freak with a touch of ocd. Fortunately I have had 2 amazing children and have pretty normal cycles. I feel for you that have to deal with other crap on top of the regular ttc stuff. I really hope you all get your forever baby soon.
I'm trying to make this day last forever or come up with a plan on how to stay home with dd but it looks like nothing will work. I need a paycheck...stupid money!!!

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Ready- I am a control freak too! My dh said the other day he thinks I need to stop temping, checking my cervical FLUID, (because he doesn't like the word mucus lol), and my cervix position and we just need to bd EVERY day! hahaha I said he would get tired of that after two weeks. I have tried to figure out how to stay home too, once we have a baby, but I make more then babysitters cost and my check pays some bills too! Stupid stupid bills and money. And I think it is only gonna get worse here in the US. They raised min. wage and that is great for those that make min wage but all that does is raise the cost of living and other bills (groceries, electric, etc.) and I am not getting a raise so that just makes it that much tighter in our budget. UGH never ending story huh.

 

[lizlovelust]

Isn't it stupid how when they raise min wage everything else raises? So what's the point of raises min wage then? Stupid Obama

 

[Renaendel]

So much to catch up on! I have heard many success stories with Clomid. Yay for proactive doctors. I never guessed I wouldn't be pregnant or have a kid by now.

The witch has finally left the building so it is time to start getting a lot of eggs ready.

 

[Bubblebrain]

Mainly feel normal - still getting the odd few cramps and my skins spottier than usual and lots of discharge but nothing extremely out of ordinary and no signs of af either. I use to have very irregular cycles before I went on pill aged 18 but iv been off pill about a year and been regular ever since I came off.
So it's all very strange. Iv been told not to test again till I miss second period I just wana keep testin over n over to get an answer lol!

 

[Bubblebrain]

Mrs I really hope you caught that egg!!!!!

Mrs-tell dh that the day of ov and the day after when I was telling my dh that we had to dtd he was like "really? I don't feel like it, thats all we have been doing! "
Haha so I said listen to what ur saying. Normally u r dry humping my leg looking for something and now its in front of u and u don't want it!!!! I got my way cuz he knows its necessary but it does lose its appeal when u go by the clock (or opk, cp, cf etc).
Things are kinda crazy in the states. U guys have been getting crap thrown at u for years now. I wish I could be one of those crazy ladies on extreme couponing that stays at home with her kids and plans these $1000 grocery shops for 5000 tubes of toothpaste and 1000 energy bars and survives that way. Lol in canada we don't have the coupons or store matching the price of coupons...but we have healthcare so ill take that.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bubble-i can't believe you are still in limbo. That is frustrating. I would have spent sooo much on hpts by now if I were u. I like to know (part of my control issues lol).

Bubble- Are you sure of your O day? I would call the dr or are they the ones that said to wait until you miss AF again? I would be going NUTS!!

Ready-I am dying laughing! I don't really tell DH that it is "O" time so it can still be kind of fun! He just knows because I want it A LOT more then normal!
Yes things are crazy here and believe me that couponing is not normal! lol I do use some coupons but really I don't know how much they help and you can't work if you coupon because to me it is a full time job of its own! hahaha

Hey ladies, thought I would post in this thread. and introduce myself. I am 27 DH is 38. We have an amazing 6 year old boy with severe autism, but he is such an amazingly smart little boy. Me and DH have been TTC#2 for 2 years now. Lots of dissapointing bfns. I am either on 1DPO or 2DPO not quite sure as I ran out of OPK's. waiting on FF to give me my crosshairs tomarrow if my temps stays elevated. My chart is in my signature if you want to take a look at it, as this is my first month temping so am pretty new to all of it. I am just having really bad luck this cycle. I ordered my wonfo's but they got delayed due to the Holidays and then the horrible 18 inches of snow last night that we got, and I couldn't get the First Response ovulation strips to register positive for some reason, but had all the signs I have every month around this time, High and soft cervix, tons of EWCM, cramping, and a massive dip in tempature. My cycles are pretty regular at 29 days, so we will see. I started using softcups this cycle, so I hope they work. The last 2 times we BD I had DH do his business in the cup before I put it in... he's a pretty good sport through all of this! If I don't get my BFP this month, I'm starting DH on fertilaid and countboost, I will also start a prenatal vitamin and put us both on royal jelly and bee pollen. Does anyone have any recommendations on what prenatals are good to use? or should I just take fertilaid for women?

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Hi youngmommy welcome!! I am sorry to hear about your long journey, I hope this turns around for you!! Your DH sounds like he is a pretty good sport! Your chart looks good! I hate it having to wake up at the same time everyday but it is worth it to me to know exactly when I O'd! I take prenatal vitamins but I just buy the Wal-Mart brand and I don't know if it is any better/worse then the rest. I also just started this cycle using pre-seed, we will see if it helped or not! Keep us posted and hopefully you caught that silly egg and will get your cross hairs tomorrow!

thank you so much. yeah Dh is an amazing person, I have known him for 9 years, he is just the bees knees! Yeah my temps were pretty awkward in the beginning, but they seemed to have leveled out. Oh ok, the walmart brand is probably pretty cheap. I was just trying to get some recommendations for some, because the fertilaid for women is like 30 bucks for a one month supply, seems like a lot of money, expecially when DH is starting fertilaid which is 30 and countboost which is 20 so that's 50 a month just for his supplements! I don't have any fertility issues, which I am thankful everyday for. but i'm pretty certain DH has a low sperm count, which is why we are going to take the fertilaid and countboost. Can't wait to see my crosshairs tomarrow, I haven't had the chance to see FF work it's magic, pretty exciting stuff!
