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

I was on cerazette before ttc for about 5 years. No af at all but it did take forever for my periods to come back. Couldn't have the mini pill I think cos of risk of stroke as I sometimes get migraines that affect my vision.

 

[Mrs.B.]

Cerezette is mini pill, that's what I was on. Couldn't have normal pill due to high bp and risk of strokes, but mini pill is ok x

Oh god I have NO idea what bcp to ask for when I see GP for 6 week check next week! :/

mumface, I was on the injection. It's essentially the mini pill, so if you know that you don't get on with it, don't get it! I didn't get any AF whilst on it, but that's normal - I didn't expect any, so I didn't panic thinking I was pregnant. Any pill can protect you against the side effects of pcos, so a lack of AF isn't anything to worry about, as all your hormone levels are there ensuring that your lining is never thickening that much, and therefore no risk of endometrial cancer (that runs in my family, so have done lots of research into this!)

Best of on yasmin then I think unless dp bags up....

No af yet 13 days after provera. My right boob is very tender though. I had a feeling provera wouldnt work

Bloomin' heck... Went to visit dad in hospital tonight. Whilst pulling into a parking space i hit the bloomin car parked next to my space!!
Not done damage to other car but mine is badly scratched and we are just about to try and sell it to get baby friendly car!

Now, a few hrs later i have git whiplash in neck, lower back and wrists!! Now panicking about baby! Aargh!

actually I have read many articles where doctors use the combined pill to 'treat' pcos symptoms. so it puts your ovaries to sleep and the pills contain the hormones you need and therefore suppresses pcos symptoms ...... such as weight gain

has anyone seen that music video by avicii, its called I could be the one (youtube it) and it has this girl in it who is soooo board of her office job she goes on this wild holiday and lets rip. DP says the girl is me....smashing the office equipment up at the end
seriously feel like doing that sometimes!!

Is that the big girl with red hair??

The combined pill might be best , it wasnt til I stopped taking that my symptoms became obvious, it had hid them all.
My bf was on the needle 5 years, never had a period. She skipped her February needle hoping to ttc but her period hasn't returned, it takes longer than the pill.

My docs told me that it wasn't the mini pill tbh though that was my old doctors and I swear half the time they had no idea what they were talking about.

You should definitely keep an eye on it. As a rough guide, you shouldn't be going more than three months without AF. I have provera that I need to take every three months to protect myself against endometrial cancer, so maybe it's worth talking to your doctor about getting some to have just as a back up? The issue is, if you're not bleeding at all then your lining is just getting thicker and thicker, and it increases the risk. Saying that, I did once go 18 months without AF, without being on anything, and nothing happened. But better safe than sorry I think.

Yeah the red hair lol! Just love the way she smashes her office up and offends her collegues, we have all had days in work where we feel like doing that, thats why dp says its me because I do feel like breaking things lol!

Cezarette is the mini pill but slightly Improved, and your less likely to get side effects from it

 

[mumface26]

Oh stella I hope you and baby are ok! Are you going for a check up?
Whiplash is awful, dp had a car crash in 09 and was in so much pain with whiplash. He had to sleep in the spare room on this futon thing we borrowed from a friend because our bed hurt his back. It was wierd as the bed was nice and comfy and this futon was rock hard but he preferred it.
He still gets chest ache from where the seatbelt dug into his chest. His physio said he may have that for life
kiddy friendly car was another reason we halted ttc, we drive a 2 seater bmw convertable z4 thingy so it needs to go. Got declined on loans and dp isnt keen on selling privately. The finance on the bmw ends in 2016 (as do other loans) so we will be in much better stead then.

My doc will just tell me to stay on the pill and get clomid when ttc but I don't want to!
When u say 3 months would u count that from my last bleed which was my post partum bleed or from when I stopped taking the mini pill and had that protection for my lining (and no I didn't have a withdrawal bleed)

We got rid of all our little loans b4 ttc and each one we paid off we'd add that payment to the next one.

 

[mumface26]

The post partum bleed isnt af is it?
Im cd55 and no trace of af yet.
I truly do believe if I do loose weight and get to 9st 10lbs (136lbs approx) my periods will be regular and we may concieve naturally
My leg is better now so tomorrow morning I am doing those aerobic videos on youtube.
One of my friends goes burlesque dancing to keep fit! Omg how fun would that be? Moulin rouge lol!

 

[hopefulfor1st]

No It is mumface, but it would have been the last time my lining was shed, since the lining build up is apparently the problem

 

[Katerz]

Mumface my sister did burlesque and she loved it, she is a plus side and it gave her sooo much confidence. I helped her arrange a charity burlesque evening for Jo's Trust cervical cancer charity.

Just back from the doc, Jace had his 4 month needles, I asked him about this and he said short term it won't do me any harm. Once were finished all our babies, I need to be on either mirena or pill, but since I plan on going back on clomid in prob 6 months this is fine. Although Jace has more needles in another 2 months so still if I don't get a period by then ill ask again
