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

[Rach28]

I just thought I would HAVE to share this with you all...but I don't know whether it applies to anyone other than the UK ladies. First response have an offer on atm, directly from their website, where you can get FIVE frers for £9! It's to celebrate them joining up with paypal, but you don't have to pay with paypal to get the offer...how good is that?! Just thought I would share, and hope that it puts our bfp count up that little bit more

Just caved in and brought some - they don't even add P&P - wow!!

Hi everyone. I know it has been a very long time since I posted but so much happened that I just took a step back to focus on me. The miscarriage did a number on my body. The panic attacks caused me to go into the ER numerous times and my muscular system in my ribs is inflamed. I have been going to physical therapy to get my body back into shape and the anxiety medication they put me on seems to be leveling me out for the the last few months.

Hubby and I took a few month break from trying so that I could get myself back on track. We went to a fertility specialist yesterday and we came up with a plan. I am on the lowest dose of Clomid and I have to start charting.

I am going to start the Clomid on this cycle once my period comes. I have no expectations and I am just trying to keep an open mind. The husband and I leave for Edinburgh on December 26th for Hogmanay so for right now I am going to think about that and whatever happens baby wise is what happens.

Hopefully everyone is doing well. I have been thinking of you all. I also hope that I will manage to get on more.

Aww, in a way it's really nice to read all your symptoms, it's nice to know that there are other real ladies out there that have similar problems to me.
I have the greasy hair thing too but at the same time dry skin?! Since I started taking fish oils daily tho I've noticed an improvement in this and I also rub a little lemon essential oil (from neals yard) into my tea zone before putting my face on in a morning which stops it all sliding off my 11am LOL

Super congrats on your BFP StellaBella

Can I ask what a HSG is Nexix? Have seen it mentioned a few times and then realised I have no idea what that it!!

In theory (if it wasn't just pcos playing tricks on me), I could be 6 or 7 dpo today....... trying not to stress about it or think about the possibility of testing...... don't want to get my hopes up

An HSG is a Hysterosalpingography. They basically put a catheter into the womb and inject some contrast dye so that X-rays can be taken. It's to check for any abnormalities and blocked tubes.

Ahh now I see why it's shortened to HSG lol! Hope it all goes well for you tomorrow

Hi Ghinspire, sorry to hear that you've had a tough time. You'll have a fab time in Edinburgh, remember to wrap up warm, very warm!!

 

[StellaBella24]

Great to see you back Ghinspire!!

Hope the clomid works for you and that u enjoy your new years trip.xxx

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Welcome back ghinspire, and I hope the clomid works for you!!!
It's 720am and I'm having trouble dragging myself outta bed for work. 2weeks and 1 day left! Physically I'm fine, my brain is the one in holiday mode!!

 

[nlk]

Hi guys! Sorry I've been missing for so long! Been soooo busy.

It's good to see you, ghinspire! Definitely wrap up warm...I hope the break does you some good

Rach, the frer offer is amazing! I got them through the other day...so all legit! And it's even better that they don't ask for p&p

Soooo.....AFM, I have absolutely NO idea what CD I am on....and tbh, I'm not even really sure about my dpo I was taking a laid back approach this cycle, and I felt really good about it....tbh, I still feel really good about it, but less so because I took a test yesterday and it was a bfn I guessed I'm around 12dpo, which is why I took it. If I was right, then a bfn wasn't the best sign for this cycle. But af is still missing, so it's all good

Got sore bbs, cramping, and feeling like I'm going to throw up. I reaalllllly hope I'm not just coming down with something, because it feels like it's going to be hell!

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Good luck nlk, I noticed u hadn't been on here for a bit so I went n checked your journal and was shocked to see u weren't there either lol.
Here's hoping your laid back approach works, and if not at least u get a stress free month!!

 

[nlk]

Yeah thanks for thinking about me! I was just so busy with uni and everything...I've got 5 assignments due in for after christmas, so been trying to get a head start on that!

Hows everything going with you and Jace! Your pregnancy is absolutely flying by! Can't believe you're 32 weeks already!

 

[StellaBella24]

Good luck nlk! The symptoms you have were mine last week before my bfp. Fxfxfx

 

[mumface26]

Helloooo welcome back ghinspire! Fx for the clomid!

Nlk i try and be relaxed too but its always on my mind. Lets hope your illness is bfp related.....

Eeekk! I cringed when i read nexis description of a hsg! Omg it sounds gross but needs must.

My cramps have eased now thankfully. Feeling nervous about tomorrows appointment. Praying the.swimmers dont let us down.... be good guys!

I really like your laid back approach, it's what I have been aiming to do but have had a few crazy moments!!

Don't take the BFN as all doom and gloom, I've known people to have faint BFP's at something silly like 7dpo and others who don't get them til a couple of weeks after af was due!

Had a silly thought of testing on Monday (10th Dec) I'd be roughly 12dpo and that's the day me and DH are going back to the Harry Potter Studio Tour..... a BFP that day really would be magic LOL

 

[mumface26]

Harry potter studio tour.....wwaaahh i wna go!
Have fun!

 

[mumface26]

Not long now hopeful! 2 weeks left in work then....baby time!! Eyes on the prize!
Im off xmas week and already in holiday mode lol!

 

[Rach28]

We went in June and it's amaaaaazing!
I could go everyday and not be bored but need a mortgage for the gift shop!

I am sooo jealous!! I really want to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in America too but I'm afraid of flying

 

[Rach28]

Eeeek, me too! I have flown a few times and am in meltdown, sobbing at departures - I am terrified, quite ironic really that I married man in the RAF, we live at an air base and I'm surrounded by aircraft everyday!!!

My diet will go out of the window on Monday when I get my hands on more butterbeer!

 

[ghinspire22]

I am going to try and take a deep breath this coming cycle. I am waiting patiently for my period to come and then I have to start temping and taking Clomid on day three of the new cycle. All I can do is hope and pray that everything goes the way that it's supposed to go.

The last few months of taught me that you can't force your body to do anything it doesn't want to do. After my miscarriage and the panic attacks and the muscle pain all I could do was pray and talk through everything. I wrote a lot of things out and cried in frustration. My body had given up on me for a time and it's been a struggle to get back.

I honestly think it was a sign that I needed to really stop and think about the things that I wanted in my life. This year I thought was going to be the year but obviously it wasn't and I'm ok with that in a way. Everyone I know is pregnant now and due in the next few months. I think that I was supposed to wait another year to get what I wanted. I'm supposed to have my own time.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Yes nlk not long now!
I've learned that its very stressful, I've had several trips to hospital and never know what's normal and what's not, I want it to be over! Between my anterior placenta and the doc saying come in if I don't feel regular mivement (and alot of time I don't), his kidneys were slightly swollen at my anomaly scan so his urine output will have to be monitored post birth, I have lowering blood platelets (the things that make u clot) so that has to be monitored, 2 bouts of irregular bleeding that sent me to hospital, my ms has finally stopped but its summer here and I'm so swollen so they're always testing me for pre e, and I can't get rid of the thrush so hoping I don't test positive for group b strep!!
I wonder if this is just first pregnancy worries and the 2nd(if there is one!) I won't worry bout these things!!!

Wishing away the next 2 months!!!!!!

 

[mumface26]

Well, dp's sa was slightly below average but the doctor said its notbing to be worried about. His count was 30% more than average but the motility was 3% below, i always said dp was a lazy sod
So i cant remember thr actual figures but its nothing to be concerned about which is the main thing.
Im at the hospital next friday for more bloods, a glucose and hba...? I cant eat for 10hpur before hand. And.......im now waiting for a referral to a infertility clinic yeehhaaa help at last
My ewcm changed to lotion like yesterday so i like to assume my ovaries were doing something.
