Young PCOS'ers! ~ 35 BFPs down!! ~

[jojolabobo]

Opks aren't great at all for Pcosers- but I do know they are not recommended for first morning use as LH builds up during the day

Yeah I've heard that, and I have high levels of LH anyway so I always get a faint line even though I'm not ovulating. I've never had a pos opk though (currently annovulatory but hoping ac will sort that out).

Might try in the evenings though, but don't want false pos giving me hope if you know what I mean.

even though you might always get a faint line, a lot of people (both with or without pcos) always have a line. It's highly unlikely that you would get a true positive, where the test line is actually darker than the control line. I know I've never had one, anyways

It is a good way of trying to see where your body's at, I find. As long as you know that you should look out for some of the other signs of ovulation as well, rather than completely relying on OPKs.

I think I will still give them a go. What time of day do you take yours?

Is it your op tomorrow? FX it all goes ok for you

 

[hopefulfor1st]

I never got a positive- but obviously I did ovulate that month....

I never got a positive- but obviously I did ovulate that month....

I was the same as this...


Hope all you girls are ok xx

 

[nlk]

I normally take my OPKs about 4pm. I've got a positive when I was taking the fertility meds, and every other one always had a second line, but rarely anything significant.

Mrs.B, I can't believe you're 40 weeks already! Have you been having any signs yet?! Exciting!

 

[Mrs.B.]

I don't think baby believes it either, shes not coming!

Hey Jojo you've got a specialist appointment next week too.... Exciting!!!

Yeah can't wait! Just wasn't fully happy with what last man said and how long everything was taking so I booked a private appointment :S (my hubbys bday present to me lol)

If it gives me the answers I need though and moves everything along faster its worth it. If he still thinks I need the op before any meds then I'll ask him to re-refer to NHS because you get seen much faster if you have a private referral xx

 

[hopefulfor1st]

It's a gamble either way.... My doc said 3 rounds of clomid and if unsuccessful he'd do a hsg and sa and dig deeper. And the date I was meant to return after 3 months I was having my 12 week scan.
Whereas nlk went straight to the drugs too, and after months still needs the surgery anyway but has used her rounds of drugs. It's a really hard decision at least after 2 docs you can make an informed decision.

 

[Mrs.B.]

oh mrs b i was reading back through this thread the other day and thinking of you!!
best of luck xxx

Thank you I will come back and update when she is here! Hopefully not too long

yeah, surgery tomorrow! arghhh! So I don't think I will be around for a few days! Hope to have some bfps to update when I get back!

Good luck!!

Yeah Definatley! I don't mind having op first its just my origional gyno surgery sent referal to wrong hospital, and then lost it and had to send it again to second hospital so its been a whole month with nothing being done. And It took me a month longer than it should have to get seen in the first place becuase they lost my GP referral so it's sort of made me not have much faith in them. Also he was really patronising telling me 'You do not it takes a sperm and an egg to make a baby' like I might think that stalks bring them!!

When I was looking at private FS he came up and it said he speciality is women who need hystorectomy or when their womb come's away so I though if I see someone who I know specialises in infertility and PCOS it will just put my mind at rest.

My fs was the regions ivf specialist and holds seminars from Newcastle to Sydney, he was wonderful. Having a good dr makes all the difference
