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

[Lika]

Morning ladies!

I am so proud of everyone tryin to eat healthy and all the positive vibes. I think you are all amazing!!

This cycle has been such a different one because I am just going in blindly. No monitor or anything. I am just bding every other day. It feels weird not getting up and peeing on something.

I keep saying this is going to be the cycle. I just get a vibe from it. That it can be done. Next week if I calculated right should be ovulation. My hope is that it happens.

I hope you get your this month!!! And I'm totally there with you about resisting the urge to poas lol I have some leftover FRER from last month testing frenzy, turns out my messed up cycle is due to pcos
I'm taking baby steps toward a healthier life next week I'm gonna go on a 5miles hike with a friend plus go to the gym at least 2x, if I go 3 it's a bonus lol

Happy Friday everyone!!!
Have a great weekend ❤

Ghinspire, the best thing u can do is scrap all the monitors and crap and just bding every other day! It's what I did

The key is small steps. I started slow with my running and now I can run a full 20 min without slowing to walk. I have a 5k in July that I am preparing for and I dropped around 10 pounds now.

It is less about losing weight for me and more about feeling healthy. I mean now that I am running when I do get pregnant I can keep running. I will be able to stay fit and lose baby weight faster.

My hope is that I won't have to call the obgyn about fertility issues at the end of June but for the bfp I am going to get.

again this morning. I'm 11dpo.

 

[ghinspire22]

again this morning. I'm 11dpo.

That is one of the most frustrating things. *hugs*

Did you try calling the doctor and seeing what they had to say?

 

[StayHopeful]

What do you mean?

 

[ghinspire22]

again this morning. I'm 11dpo.

Just wait a l ittle longer and try again. Anything is possible.

 

[StayHopeful]

Thanks! I know it's still early, I was just hoping something would have shown up by now. My temp dipped at 7dpo so I was really hopeful...

Hope isn't gone. You still have a little time. There is always a chance.

Go ghinspire! We're not using a monitor either, just BDing every 2-3 days. Loving the positivity and support from you guys too.

I went clothes shopping today since all my clothes are too tight. No success, but for once I didn't panic and think I need to go on a crash diet. Instead, I just thought, it's all about being healthy and getting my BFP (whatever too all the stupid skinny clothes).

We can do it

 

[StayHopeful]

I did the same thing this morning, it was frustrating having to reach for the bigger sizes. I'm just trying to remind myself that I have different priorities right now.

 

[bubblz82]

You havent rambled on, that is something I do lol You sound like you are on the right track. I hope I am to and that I can keep it up. I came off the smokes a year ago but have the odd 1 when I am very drunk. Always do a test before hand. How long have you been trying?

Hey I wud love to build my running up again but as you say it is all bout small steps. Gyno told me the other day that I need to lose 2stone, he went onto say that in the next 6 weeks he wants to see me trying.

I had lost 3 and half stone then I met my husband and fell in love and became happy and started to eat and slowly put 2 stone back on. When I had lost the weight the last time I did have period but I was also on the pill which always give me regualar periods.

Could I ask you how you got a photo up please?

Hey, I told my friend the day that I am not going on a diet but I am changing my life style. It sounds better. I am trying to eat as much natural foods as I can for the next 6 weeks until I go back to gyno, as he wants to see me losing weight. Then I will go baby making made lol That sounds like I am not trying but I know I am not going to get pregnant until I either lose weight or get help from the doctor.

Sorry I went off on one there, I get carried away

Yeah, exactly. I'm reminding myself of the same whenever I worry about weight gain and what others think. There's always more than what meets the eyes (is that the saying?). Xxx

This thread is just what I needed to see.
I was diagnosed today with PCOS.

I'm 23, and been TTC solidly for just over a year, however been off BCP for 18 months.

As much as I am upset that something is infact wrong (it's always easier to ignore!) I am very relieved that we may now have an answer.

I am going back to my GP next week to discuss next steps............and at the minute I have no idea what they will be.

Any other sililar stories, about what your GP did for you, would really help me.

xx

Lol! No need to apologise, I get carried away too!

My problem is that I eat all natural foods, I just eat too much of them! hubs and I are trying to give up alcohol as I read it can really reduce your chances it getting pregnant. But gosh lifestyle changes are hard!!! X

Welcome sue! My gp referred me to a fertility specialist who put me on metformin. If we haven't conceived in 6mths-1 year on the metformin then I'm to go back to him. Starting on the met on Sunday and am going to give it 6 mths and then ask for something else, like clomid, if we're still not preggo then.

Ladies. Did anyone find that changing to a healthier diet alone help with ovary size? I've changed my diet to help my symptoms but wonder if it will help reduce the size of my enlarged ovaries x

good luck to all the girls who are making lifestyle changes!! It's such a good idea! I recently gave up caffeine COMPLETELY...i dont drink coffee or tea really, but i was drinking a fair bit of coke! Now i'm just sticking to water/squash etc, and its going good so far! hope we all feel better for it in the long run!

also hoping everyone is still continuing their positive vibes! I know I am

welcome, sue! youre reight, it sucks to be diagnosed, but its so so much easier knowing whats wrong, and its easier to get the help getting pregnant once you know what youre up against! for me, i found my doctor pretty useless, because no one would take me seriously as thinking there was something wrong and saying I wanted fertility testing because I wanted to get pregnant (esp. when i started pestering for the testing more than a year a go, at 20yo!), but once i had the diagnosis it was much easier! I have found that its better if you push for it though, because if they get the impression youre willing to put it off, then they will. my first app. with my gp after the diagnosis, i literally told him to refer me to a FS, rather than letting him advise me. best thing I ever did!

hope everyone else is doing good - I just finished taking my letrozole, and have my scan tues, so now going to make sure we do lots of BDing! This HAS to be my month! I'm feeling it guys!
