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

[mumface26]

9dpo and a this morning - I know its early, but some strange things have been happening and even DH is convinced I'm pg!

-It all started when I got cramps and unusually thick (sorry tmi) 5-6dpo, then the cm stopped and cramps continued, but only a little.
- my glands have been up and down like a yoyo and I've been congested most days since
-on fri 7dpo I lost my appetite and started feeling gassy - I kept bringing up sick, presumably because of the gas, but wasn't ill. I ate only dry foods (bread, pasta for tea) because I had no interest even in take away
-i woke in the middle of the night on Friday starving hungry and have been ravenous ever since, despite feeling quite nauseous and the gas is now really uncomfortable because it keeps making me feel so sick.
-bbs swollen, not sore, nips sore, sensitive and different colour to usual.

I am going crazy. I could put so much down to other things, but I'm truly stumped by the nausea and gassy tummy because I'm not someone who feels sticky often.

9dpo is early to test, so I know I will need to keep checking. I feel genuinely hopeful, but I'm terrified that these symptoms (which can't surely all be in my head?) are a sign of a bug or virus and not a bean.

My cycles are so infrequent and are usually forced, so I don't usually do getting hopeful. The last time I did I was on Clomid and I was an emotional wreck, in a lot of pain, and got a chemical. The positive only came up the once and we thought it a duff test til I started looking at forums like this.

Sorry for such a long and whiney post on a Sunday morning. DH is sleeping and he has his arms around me, I feel like I need to chill the f@#k out, but its impossible. Have 5 tests coming from eBay this week, so will just keep testing unless AF rears her ugly head


Hope all your weekends have been a little less stressful x

Wow! So many possible symptoms or could be clomid side effects?
good luck! Lets hope these bfns mean you have tested too early and fx you get a bfp.

Xxxxx

Thanks mumface. We've been back and forth over it so many times. It's now just a waiting game. Dh has promised me a night out on the tiles to drown our sorrows if its a bfn.

my first dr. didn't do any sort of testing, besides bloodwork, and just wrote me a clomid script. my current dr. said that is absolutely ridiculous. bc if I have blocked tubes or hubs semen isn't great, then whats the point? clomid won't help either issue. so i wasted almost a year with my first dr. just treading water and wasting my money and having to deal with horrible clomid side effects for nothing.. i was livid when my current dr. said this i wanted to rip my first dr.s head off!!!! and now that we have done everything proper and i've been monitored and adjusted.. we finally got our BFP!

Congrats!

Agreed. HSG is imperative I believe - blocked tubes means no eggs with or without clomid ! It would be a waste of money.

Congrats on your BFP !

Hello ladies, how are we all on this rainy Monday?

I'm cd 28 today and still having the occasional cramp. DH has had his SA letter through, no bd for 7 days then he has to give the sample next Monday and then get it to the hospital within an hour. He's git a follow up appointment 21st January

 

[CocoMia]

Miss Noodle GOOD LUCK!!
Hope we read some good news form you very soon, it all sounds positive!

Stella, thanks for the advcie on the Agnus castus. I've bought the tablets but am really struggling to swallow them (I know, what a child..) so will research the other type you mentioned. Where do you order it from? I get really nervous about ordering supplements through tinternet

Nexis - Morning! FX for your SA - we're still waiting for a letter so I'm interested to know what they analyse and how long it takes (the waiting is always the worst isn't it) My BF is really worried about it. He was really calm when he thought it could only be one of us with an issue but now it's been raised it could be both of us he just isn't handling it like women would. Head in sand type approach

Everyone else, I hope you had a great weekend and that the bumbps are H&H and that the mummas to be are feeling positive about festive (albeit v tiny) bumps to be hehe

Before I went to the infertility clinic i was feeling really fed up, but now i'm hoping this is us finally on the way to a nice BFP

Hey Nexis just realised we are the same. Both on CD28 and both OH's have SA appointment next Monday lol

 

[mumface26]

My dp is trying for an sa appointment. He has rang the department a few times today and they arnt answering or its going to voicemail. He will get through eventually.
Good luck to all dp's/oh who are having sa done soon !

Afm im cd 37, yesterday i had bad af style cramps and today im still cramping. My nipples feel tender, not sore but uncomforfable if touched wrongly
Still no af.
My sis reckons cramps with no af could be a sign of blocked tubes......yeah thanks sis great! Get me worried bout smth else now, love you too!

 

[mumface26]

Oh yeah, i also feel sick on and off. I was eating tea last night and had to.stop half way through in fear i was going to spew. The feeling lasted 10 mins or so then went. I have felt like this since friday and its always during or after food and drink. Even just an innocent cup of tea makes me feel sea sick.

But yet im getting bfn's like theres no tomorrow.

 

[laurabe]

I've had a sickly feeling too but BFN bleh :-/

I just get them off amazon.
I know what u mean about the tablets, i felt like i was rattling as i walked when i was taking them as u have to take so many plus a prenatal vitamin and my thyroid medication...it was too much!
GL if you try the liquid version.x

 

[nlk]

Somehow I unsubscribed from this thread?! I'm back now though!

 

[CocoMia]

Thanks Stella, am going to give it a go and see if there's any change. My cycles are just getting longer again which is so upsetting. Just when you think you have a teeny sign of "normality" you realise you're on a 60 odd day cycle!

Yes, was starting to rattle a little which is even harder to stomach when you're healthy eating and really hungry!

I'm going to keep checking back for good news on the BFPs girls. Fingers crossed these are all good signs!

Hello ladies

Was wondering if I could join you all?

Not exactly sure if I can be classed as 'young' any more, I'm clinging to the last 8 months of my twenties.... but I most definitely have PCOS!

I am already blessed to have 2 lovely boys (a toddler and a teenager - not a great combination) and was diagnosed with PCOS when TTC DS#2, he was conceived really through pure luck while waiting for my appointment with the fertility specialist I randomly O'd on cd117!!

After having him, I followed my GP's advice and went back on the pill, thinking I didn't have to worry about PCOS much. After a while tho the pill I was on wasn't really doing a lot to help my PCOS symptoms and we had talked about the possibility of TTC #3....so I brought a copy of the Ultimate PCOS Handbook, read it from cover to cover on holiday and wrote an action plan of all the changes that I was going to make, not only for TTC purposes but also, more importantly for my long term health.

So far, so good in terms of making those changes and I have managed to loose a stone and recently stopped taking the pill..... I was a little scarred that once of it I would balloon...again, be covered in depressing spots... again and have crazy OPK results... again BUT I'm actually doing OK

Currently on CD18 and seem to be gearing up to Ov (a very near +OPK this eve plus other indicators) super chuffed that my gnarly old ovaries are doing something but it's not all rosy.... hubby is currently in Afghan, due home Thursday so will literally just miss my all singing, all dancing ovary performance!

Fingers crossed tho it happens again when he's actually in the country!!

Anyway, I know it's late and I know I've rambled so hope to be saying 'hello' to some of you tomorrow

Hi Rach!!

Welcome! What's this book then? Hehe I've not heard of it but it would be great to know some of the changes you've been making

We're all diff ages here so don't worry. What good luck you had with your 2nd! It's so bizarre having a long cycle for your ovaries to just decide to work?!

[mumface26]

Hiya rach28! Good to hear you have two children already despite the fact you hve pcos.
Why do doctors always put you on the pill for pcos? The hormones in the pilk are fake and trick your body thus making the hormon imbalance worse.

Afm im feeling crap today. Just want to hide under the duvet but have to go to work.

 

[miss noodles]

this morning and symptoms have subsided, so I'm counting myself out while we wait for af. Had awful lady cramps yesterday and all I have now is nausea, but I'm pretty sure that's stress related.

Thanks for all the well wishes and baby dust the past few days. I just learned a valuable lesson about getting my hopes up x

 

[mumface26]

I had a dream last night i did 3 hpts and all bfn. I did a 4th and two very thin blue lines appeared sfter loke an hour. Then i was frantically trying to upload the image on this forum but my laptop was crashing all the time.
Bfp on the brain!
