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

[CocoMia]

Thanks for making me smile girls!! It's so nice to speak to people that understand. My manager is aware but there's only so many people and so many times you want to go through the details you just sort of bite your lip and wish others all the best like you say. It's not a simple diagnosis and with every woman reacting differently there's no real fix; that's the part that upsets Me the most I think.

I've not been referred past the Colposcopy clinic yet as the wouldn't start any fertility appointments/treatment until they had done some treatment on my cervix (just to add to my shopping list of dogy parts lol)
Apparently Basildon is the fertility specialist hospital for this area but I agree, their track record is appalling!

Oh the "just relax and it will happen when it's meant to..." Oh nothing gets you to relax more than needles, tests, waiting for results and egging on your BF to BD with you regardless of whether either of you are particularly in the mood!

Angus Castus! Good job I looked on here before I went to Holland and Barrett haha "cactus"!

[mumface26]

I hope it is ovulation. It must be! Up until today my cm has been thick, lotion like or nothing at all. Today its egg whitish! And it stretched between my finger and thumb. Sorry if tmi.
I dont recall ever seeing ewcm before.

Final moan, someone said to me at work yesterday "not expecting yet? My Sarah is into her second now, she's just so fertile! You really need to try harder..." Excellent advice, thank goodness we had this chat! That's right it's because we're not trying hard enough!! Grrrr'

How did you not slap her! Grr! My god, people have no idea, do they.

I would have gone mad at her

Me too! Omg! Need try harder.......you try having cysts and wonky hormones love!
My team leader knows about my pcos due to me having a in work one day. She is so understanding about it which is good for a boss.

Another classic that people seem to like saying is 'Your over thinking things, if you just relax you will get pregnant' Erm No, our ovaries don't work

God that one really does my head in! Because relaxing is all I need to do to start O'ing, why haven't I tried it!

 

[mumface26]

Now its back to the lotion,.clumpy white stuff ......???
I hate my body

 

[nlk]

it still sounds good to me, mumface! Hope its O!

coco, where abouts in essex are you?! I can't believe there are three of us from the same area on here I'm originally a saafend girl!

OH told me today he was asked to go on a training course for work next week, overnight, and asked whether I minded. I was liike yeah that's fine. About 5 minutes later, I ran back in to the lounge, screaming NOOOOOOOOO because I remembered that I'm (hopefully) triggering monday, and will be requiring his services tuesday night!

[mumface26]

Nlk id keep him prisoner!

I will be home in 35 mins, hope dp put heating on in our bedroom, hate bd'nd when its cold

Im so excited for my chat with doctor tomorrow.

I wonder how ghinspire is doing?

 

[nlk]

yeah, he said he will try to get out of it. I was like, no, you're not going. Simple!

I messaged ghinspire the other day to see how she was getting on, but I haven't heard back from her. If you're reading, we're all thinking of you and hope you're ok hun!

 

[mumface26]

stupid stupid stoooooooopid me!
went to the doctors full of life, came out with a mindset like a popped balloon.
Doctor wont help until DP has had his SA buuuuuuuuut his work are still been total *&^%$£" and wont allow him time off as they are short staffed and busy. I just text him and said make the appointment, ring in sick, walk out.... just do a sperm sample......simples!

But I thought I was the one with the 'problem' not DP??

I thought they would test DP if I failed to get pregnant after a few rounds of clomid.....? Or was I on another galaxy when I had that thought?


My doctor read my blood results and said my hormones were 'all over the place' and I'm probably not ovulating on every cycle, I was like yeah thats pcos for you.....so what can you do to help me balance my hormones and acheive ovulation....? "Nothing much until he has had his SA."
Going getting some Agnus Castus today in my last attempt at natural TTC. I mentioned it to the GP and all she said was yes go for it, but don't expect miracles as its just a herb.
Don't even know why I even made that appointment today. Its really depressed me.

 

[mumface26]

On a different note may I ask a personal question....?
Im wondering if its just me but does anyone every go weeks without been in the mood the sex at all? The last time I was really in the mood was 3 weeks ago, since then I have only bd'd for the sake of ttc.
Dp is the opposite. Hes always up for it
Im wondering if massive dips is libido could be related to PCOS and the hormonal imbalance PCOS causes? Or could it be Im not a sexual type of person?
I feel like an old woman sometimes.
Any thoughts.

I think it wholly depends on the doctor on which way round they'll do things tbh. The hospital haven't said it outright to me but they mentioned that clomid will probably be the next step for us but in meantime HSG for me and SA for dh. Also, dh said to me that your work had to give you time off to do the SA the same as any medical appointment, regardless if they're short staffed.

I get this too, last couple of bd's were purely for ttc's sake not that I was even remotely in the mood

 

[CocoMia]

I'm sorry you had a frustrating appointment.
I honestly know how it feels when you go with an agenda and expectations but the GP or doctor just leaves you no further along or with no more advice. it feels like a waste of time but also like they couldn't even make suggestions for the meantime whilst you're waiting for the next step. Grrrr Let me know how you get on with the Agnus Castus; I bought it yesterday and took me ages to swallow the first one so I put it in some tea... bleughhhh!! If it tastes bad then it's doing some good?!

In relation to being in the mood I can totally relate!! Some times I'm so tired I would rather do the washing up than BD and I can't believe how the BF would be ready to go at all hours. In my v few "normal"ish cycles it does seem to fit in around ovulation but like you say lasts about 3 or 4 days and then I'm over it again!!

Alcohol seems to do the trick or used to but now I'm trying not to drink anything it's cold turker hehehe

Nlk - I'm in Leigh on Sea!! Small world haha

[mumface26]

Thanks ladies. Had a chat with mummy and feeling a bit better now. My mum had no issues ttc but i just needed to talk to her and hear her voice. I think it helped. Im Close with my mum and i hope i will have the same relationship with my son or daughter when they are adults.
Off to work now but not before calling in holland and barret for some ac. I wonder if the penny sale is still on?

 

[nlk]

mumface, normally, they will do the SA first, because otherwise you're wasting time and energy taking clomid for it to not work. My FS wouldn't start anything with me until OH had done two SA!! Because the first one came back a bit low! As for the sex thing, I rarely have any sex drive I think it might be something to do with the hormone levels, but it sucks! I feel vaguely better on the drugs, because it's half sorting my levels out...but when I don't take them, it's awful! Also, I think once I'm done with having babies, I would go back on the pill, which should sort it all out

coco, I can't believe you're from leigh! I lived in westcliff I still go back there loads to see my family! OHs family live there are well, some of them in leigh. Who knows, maybe we'll get to be RL bump buddies?!

 

[mumface26]

Just another random thought....
Does anyone think that they caused the pcos? No one in my family has it and before i met dp when.i was 20 i used to drink and smoke and do the occasional line and pill on nights out. (i was naughty, thinking i was hard)
I went on bcp age 17 but purely for contraception with my ex. I had to swap from microgynon to yasmin to dianette then to cilest as non agreed with me. I have never slept around.
Worried if ive caused it and broke myself.
My mum had me aged 39 so maybe a chromosone wasnt right with her been an older mum?

 

[nlk]

I often think that, mumface

I'm assured by my FS that it was nothing I did. And also, now that we know what it is, there is a strong chance that my mum had it and just never realised. I think more people are being diagnosed with issues today, because it's easier to find out if there is an issue. It took my mum 18 months to get pregnant with me! I too was on bcp when I was younger, but I have to remind myself that I went on bcp BECAUSE of how irregular/painful my cycles were, so really i was showing symptoms before I went on it.

I also worry about my LOW weight when I was younger, and wonder whether that could have had anything to do with it. I know it sounds weird, but I was severely underweight when I was younger, so my cycles stopped for a while. I'm always concerned that that's the reason I think you have to bear in mind that no one will have the symptoms arise from the same situation...so there's nothing that would specifically cause it.

 

[nexis]

I've never really thought that I might have caused my PCOS. My mum has never been diagnosed with it but I suppose there's a possibility. Nobody else in my family has ever had problems, my Nan had 5 kids with the last being when she was 44! The doctors I was with when I was younger wouldn't put me on the pill to help with my horrendous periods but I do wish that dh and I had decided we wanted to start trying before we did as then we might be further along by now.

Afm I'm cd 25 today and I had some cramps yesterday and then I've had a tiny bit of spotting today. I'm just really hoping that its not af because then my cycle would be super short. I was kind of hoping they might start to settle around 36 days like the last one was but I suppose I'll just have to wait and see
