Hi denyse :wave: yeh join the madness lol!
You are best asking for blood tests and ultrasound scans to confirm pcos.
Beat of luck to you! How long have you been ttc#2 and was noah a natural conception or a clomid bub if you dont mind my asking?

 

[mumface26]

Mine still has alllll the stains on it! Including a dad sized footprint from when he stood on the front of it! Hubby keeps trying to make me get it dry cleaned and put in a box.

I want to do a cherish the dress photoshoot at some point.

My dress wont stand a chance, we are having an oriental buffet at the night and it includes sticky spare ribs
Not to mention all the kids coming too with sticky hands and the skill of missing my mouth with food and drink.
I need a huge bib lol!

My mum paid $400 to have it cleaned and repaired where I ripped it!

I dont think id get it cleaned but the bridal shop offer to pack the dress in a presentation box with a see through lid for £75. I assume they will fold it a certain way so the bodice is displayed and they use acid free boxes so the material keeps.
I was orriginally just going to buy and off the peg white prom dress but my mum was having non of it so offered to buy me a real wedding dress
I still feel humbled. Dp said its because im the last one to get married and my sisters and brother had special days with all the trimmings so why shouldnt we?

Hubby's work clean and box dresses which is why he keeps pestering me to get it done lol

Well had a training day at work yesterday...complete waste of my time. It lasted half an hour which annoyed me as the journey takes and hour!! Grrr

Neither the urgent care clinic or the diagnostic centre did a blood test. My doctor was surprised. He said now it's too late for them to do one. From my impression of him, my doctor doesn't think I necessarily have PCOS, but just some polycystic follicles on my ovaries. He never clearly stated I have PCOS, just the clinic did. So not sure what to think.

Our son was conceived in 3 months - the only thing we used was Pre Seed the sperm friendly lubricant. That's why our doctor doesn't seem concerned that this should affect my fertility.

Thanks ladies for the welcome

Welcome Denyse, my LO is a similar age to yours and we're TTC #2 aswell Just started cycle 3 yesterday so hoping this might be the one!
Any of you ladies have experience of inositol powder? I just ordered some today in the hope of lengthening my luteal phase as for the last 2 cycles it's been 11 days which i've read is on the short side.

Hi Denyse and of course you are welcome

Question to all that have conceived! Or had the same experience with FRER.
I am probably going insane with hope since I still haven't had AF and my spotting has stopped again, but I took a FRER (Not with first morning urine) and got upset that it was still bfn. So I opened it up and looked at the strip and noticed a bright pink line MUCH higher up than where the screen would be. Is this normal for them to have or have any of you had that happen and it was a bfp???

I'm a stick o holic.. It sounds like a evap to me :/ pretty rare for me but lately frer have been having indents and all sorts of problems. I think they switched manufacturers. Have you tested again?

 

[Bellybump89]

Welcome denyse!

 

[DenyseGiguere]

Welcome denyse!

Thank you

I had an issue with FRER - had a faint BFP 2 days before AF showed up - we were not happy!

I do think alot of chemical pregnancies are put down to "false positives" - it doesn't mean the test isn't doing its job it just means its doing it too well if anything.
It's VERY rare to get a false positive and usually they signify some sort of kidney failure, pituitary tumor or ivf drugs in the system.

As for inositol I have heard good things about its just the more health food shop version of metformin if you can't get a doctor to prescribe the real thing for some reason.

 

[BABTTC123]

Not yet.. I have one test left and I am waiting until either tomorrow morning, or if I forget to, this weekend. It is weird because I have been having a lot of odd symptoms that I have never experienced before... Like my uterus feels full, I have been having cramps that aren't exactly painful but mainly just a bit uncomfortable, bipolar mood swings, my boobs looks HUGE imo and have been sore off and on. I would think it is pregnancy but I am constantly getting bfn's! Ugh.. I guess I shouldn't give up hope because some ladies don't get a bfp until 3 months in.. I hope that if I am then it shows VERY soon!

hi ladies hope you don't mind me dropping in here my names Lindsey im 21 and have recently been diagnosed with pcos after having no periods since miscarrying in august 2011. im quite overweight and I am trying to gain a quite controlled diet, im being prescribed metformin after seeing a gyne im due to start it in a few day im unsure or my dose yet though. anyway im just wondering if anyone can give me some insight to what its like to be on met did it improve cycles moods ect im periods are very erratic and I don't ovulate im hoping to try and get this under control any help success stories or advice will be greatly appreciated

 

[BABTTC123]

I have been on and off on metformin for about 4 years now, I think... Maybe longer lol I get digestive upset from it which is why I keep stopping and starting. When I was taking it straight for 2 years it had completely corrected my cycle and I managed to get down to 150 lbs. After stopping it I had kept the weight off for a while but then it slowly started to creep back onto me and my cycles were normal still until early this year. I am now 215 lbs anyways, it can do wonders as long as you stick to it and find ways to cope with the symptoms.

I wasn't getting periods/ovulating at all but since starting met 3 months ago I have been ovulating about every 2 months. I had a chemical pregnancy as soon as I started it.

 

[LindseyGarth]

Hope you don't mind me asking but was you overweight and it still worked for you even with a high bmi I'm just really hoping this will work for me thanks for your reply Hun

Yeah my bmi is about 35, I haven't lost any weight from it though.

 

[LindseyGarth]

I'm just really hoping it regulates my cycles so I can track ovulation

 

[DenyseGiguere]

Does anyone pay attention to their cervical mucus?

Mine was really dry last month (another symptom of my cysts, I suppose) but for the past few days it's been really watery and I feel "wet" down there. isn't this type of cm only supposed to show up just before you ovulate? It should be "fertile" mucus, right? But I shouldn't ovulate for another 4 or 5 days. Or is this just a sign that I'm going to ovulate soon?

We are going to start tomorrow, but now I'm worried that we might miss our fertile window.
