Hi Ice! Yes, the bleeding has stopped as of Friday! I'm so happy about that but now wondering what's going on in there. I hope it's all still good. I hate your chart...i'm frustrated for you. When are you going to ovulate???

Well that's great news! I hope it will stay this way I'm sure you will get more information on your next appointment. Keep me updated.

Thanks i hate my chart too LOL FF says i should O this week or the beginning of the next one but I'm getting sick and tired of this waiting every cycle. I'm trying not to obsess and everything but my FB is full of pregnant women and babies pictures and it's really bringing me down cos i want it so bad and have been trying for so long but it just don't happen for me. I'm trying to stay positive but the longer my cycle stretches the more frustrated i get

Hey there rosyrose

Had a look at your website

First of all, without a fertility specialist having a good look at your ovaries and doing some studies I would be hesitant to believe any normal GP who claims that due to the cysts your ovaries would need to be removed.

I would think that that would be a last resort tactic, after drainage of the cysts and medication have failed.

This is a little bit of a personal question but are you overweight at all? If so (and don't fret but being overweight comes hand in hand with PCOS) then sometimes losing that weight helps with the cysts. Since I have reduced my weight by 30kg the number of cysts on my ovaries (and there were oodles) has decreased by 35% and my specialist informs me that that number will be even better with more weight loss.

As for your period lasting for 20days so far and being bright blood, don't fret too much. when us ladies with PCOS bleed sometimes it can last forever and a day. I once bled for almost a month then didn't have a period at all for almost 3 months.

PCOS messes severely with your hormone levels and as such our poor reproductive systems get all confused. It just sounds like your hormones are stuck, don't fear they'll sort themselves out eventually and you will stop bleeding. Its most inconvenient but nothing to be scared about.

I myself do not live in the US so I do have the benefit of free medical care, that said, fertility specialists are not covered under medicare here and as such I do have to pay for this aspect of my health.

Good luck in your journey, try not the be scared, and if you ever need to just talk about whats happening with your body, well that's what we're all here for.

It's possible, anything is. But I would suggest seeing a doc regarding the sharp pains and spotting, just to make sure everythings aok. I'm not sure but I think they can do a blood serum PT even this early. I had some pain at the start of my first pregnancy, in my abdomen, I miscarried at 12 weeks though so I couldn;t tell you if the pain continued past that point (Dont freak out, the pain wasn't the cause of the miscarriage, I got sick and ended up with a 40'c fever with caused a spontaneous abortion )

Sometimes the pain can be from ovulation itself, some women get a sharp pain in one side when they ovulate, that could be what you felt, and sometimes the pain is the uterus stretching or cramping.

If you're unsure or uncertain, take a trip to the doc and get an all clear. For peace of mind

Its the volume of your follicles..the size if you will. Follicles ≲11 mm in diameter resulted in decreased pregnancy rates. Anything over 11mm means the chances of successful ovulation and pregnancy are increased.

So basically your doing pretty good for having successful ovulation. Yay you!! FIngers crossed for ya!

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday!!!

Not sure what is going on either with the lingo.

My first round of clomid ended Friday!! Estrogen level - 177
8.5 - Right Follicle
7.8 - Left Follicle

My lining is getting thicker and it was 7.5

Today, I went to the doctor and had another ultrasound

11.5 - Right Follicle
15.2 - Left Follicle

What does all this mean?

Please help

Its your follicle size or volume. follicles ≲11 mm in diameter resulted in decreased pregnancy rates. Anything over 11mm means a higher success of ovulation and therefore pregnancy...that left follicle is doing pretty good.

Fingers and toes are crossed for you!

Hi Ice! Yes, the bleeding has stopped as of Friday! I'm so happy about that but now wondering what's going on in there. I hope it's all still good. I hate your chart...i'm frustrated for you. When are you going to ovulate???

Well that's great news! I hope it will stay this way I'm sure you will get more information on your next appointment. Keep me updated.

Thanks i hate my chart too LOL FF says i should O this week or the beginning of the next one but I'm getting sick and tired of this waiting every cycle. I'm trying not to obsess and everything but my FB is full of pregnant women and babies pictures and it's really bringing me down cos i want it so bad and have been trying for so long but it just don't happen for me. I'm trying to stay positive but the longer my cycle stretches the more frustrated i get

That's a nice high temp today Ice. If it continues the upswing, you will have o'd yesterday, right? i hope so for you! It would be so hard and tiring to time BD with a long cycle like this. I'm sorry. Hang in there!!!

 

[bluz]

i think we should all take a break together and go have some non-alcoholic ( ttc afterall...) strawberry daquiries and watch a movie together! Have you all seen What to expect when your expecting? Trying to take it slow because Im on stress over load and though this movie made me cry, it made me laugh too... we will get there girls! We all have a lot in common... we dont understand why its not us yet... impatient.. and all have friends on fb that seem to have nothing but time for pictures of their babies and time to torture us!! ( unintentionally of course) we will be before you know it!

Looks like i didn't O. If i would get the same temp as today i would get my crosshairs tomorrow but these past O temps would be lower than my normal O temps. So looks like i have to BD again ...

i have stressing a lot too but I did some research and 3 simple things you can do if its just the fact your healthy and its just not happening: 1) cut out caffeine... more than 1 cup of coffee lessens your chance of pregnancy by 50% 2) light exercise walking jogging and 3) lessen stress and focus on pregnancy because your body produces a horomone when stressed that your body thinks is an illness. so it takes priority to heal your "stress" and places pregnancy on the back burner....

that encouraged me and Im taking it easy so for all of you who are with me in still ttc... forget facebook... chill enjoy yourself.... we will get there
