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

[ghinspire22]

Well I had my doctors appointment today with my GP to discuss blood results and scan.

Definitely polysystic, which was already confirmed at scan, and I am also not ovulating.

My progesterone level on day 21 was <1. And I think it's supposed to be about 86.

I'm beyond gutted, I can't believe it. Not even ovulating.....I've been BD'ing every month for the last 18 months with absolutely no hope of having a baby.

Waiting now for a referral to infertility specialist........god knows how long that will be.

my OH is so quiet, he's so sad. He's got to go for Semen analysis which he's already made the appointment for bless him.

I know how frustrating it must be. I am frustrated now just waiting to go to a proper OBGYN. I'm afraid of what she might find my levels to be. However, think about how good it will be to have a plan in hand. Once you start ovulating you have a real chance of getting pregnant. Nothing is impossible. Once they have you on the right meds to help balance everything you'll be able to bd effectively and get that BFP.

Sometimes the journey can be difficult but when you have that baby in your arms you'll think it was all worth it.

Im also scared what levels my hormones will be too.

But modern medicine will help us all!

i love this forum!

Sue 88, if I were you I'd be happy! If u haven't been ovulating, at least u know why your not pregnant and it's easier to fix than not knowing. I also did not ovulate AT ALL. When I got pregnant it was the first time I'd ov'ed in
10 years!! (literally) I'd been on bcp and then come off it to discover severe pcos to the point I didn't ov or get a period. Now they now, they can work on it, and u haven't failed all these months as it was simply impossible!
Also progesterone at 86 at cd21 is massive! Anything over 5 means you ovulated, over 15 means you ovulated and can successfully maintain a pregnancy, mine was 37.6 on mycd21 bloods. (after my first clomid induced ov, I didn't actually have "days" as I was completely annovulatory )
And mum face, don't be depressed about pcos, your in good company! Now they can get u on meds and get that bfp! A pcoser on clomid, has a better chance of conceiving than a healthy couple naturally trying.

Also, opks= crap!!
With pcos your body constantly gears up to o but doesn't, so u may have false positives cos your LH goes up trying to ov but u don't, an opk doesn't know when ovulation occurs, just when your hormones peak 24-48 hours before attempted o.
My doc said do not use them. Just do the bd every 2nd day and all bases are covered without the stress!

Thanyou hopeful.

Dp is going to whisk me away on holiday in october. We might be going to kos. We went there in our first holiday together and it was amazing there. he figured we need a distraction away pcos and ttc. He jokes if the baby is concieved in greece we shall call him zeus lol!

Waiting to have my bloods taken now.

Xxxxx

 

[mumface26]

i just seen a number plate with bfp on it haha!

 

[mumface26]

They took ages to find a vien.
I could ring for my results on tuesday but I would rather see a doctor to duscuss them further. The next available appointment is 10th July but its ok really.
We have decided to stop thinking about TTC and just sit back and relax.

However, I feel awfully sick after eating, I wake each morning with a raging thirst and my nipples feel bruised. I am CD41 so maybe AF is taking her time to come.

I also need to see about losing weight and toning up as my body is NOT bikini proof! I hope we cant find us a nice holiday somewhere!

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Mum face- sounds like a good plan! You'd be surprised how far a bit of weight loss will help u!

AF HAS GONE AWOL!!!!

Seriously...I expected her Wednesday evening...it's now Friday morning. Confused much?! I'm only comparing this cycle to the one I had with Clomid, which was 27 days. I'm currently on CD29.

Congrats to the new bfp, I have been away and vaguely remember seeing one, but can't remember who it was? So I'll update the numbers, but not the name, until someone can tell me who it was!

Ghinspire, I know it's so hard, and I know how depressing it is when it seems that everyone around you is getting pregnant. But remember that your time will come, and the timing will be perfect! Keep your head up, and be so so proud of yourself with your running! I wish I was that disciplined...

mumface, I hope that's not a deal you have to stick to, if you conceive in Greece! Zeus!! I think it's a good idea to take a bit of a backseat sometimes with pcos and ttc, it can be really draining. I hope you'll still hang around here, though!

Sue, I'm so sorry about your diagnosis, but like hopeful said, it's also a good thing. Without the diagnosis, you could be still going round in circles, not knowing where you stand. In terms of ttc, I think me getting a diagnosis was the best thing that could have happened! It meant that I could get fertility help, and start being monitored and take fertility meds, which I wouldn't have been given without the diagnosis. So even though it sucks as a condition, keep your head up, and make sure you look at it in a positive way.

Hopeful, how are you getting on? I can't believe you're nearly 10 weeks already! Have you had any more scans yet?

 

[hopefulfor1st]

I'm actually 10 weeks today based on my last scan, I just left my ticker based on LMP. (or should I say ov date since no af) I've had really bad ms, tonight the flu has found me too so I've been extra spewy and can't take anything! Dreading work tomorrow n feel so bad taking time off when preg! My next scan is 2 weeks today I'm so excited! Bub will look like a baby, not a blob like my last scan!

Nlk, cycles may b diff off clomid, but have u tried testing??

 

[nlk]

I tested Wednesday, bfn. I might hold it and test in a bit, just to see. Not too sure yet though! I had a little bit of spotting yesterday, and I thought AF was on the way, but nothing since!

I am thinking of everyone and hope you guys are doing well. Right now I am trying to beat the heat. It is going to be in the 90's today.

I woke up early to go for a run before it got too hot. I'm glad I did but by the time I was finished I was pouring sweat. So hot!

The husband and I are going to be running our first race on July 4th. It is going to be a 4k. I hope we can make it. Then on July 8th we are running our first 5k. So needlessly to say I am going to be running a lot next week.

My head is kind of achy today and I hate that feeling. I'm feeling low but I'm hoping it will pass.

 

[mumface26]

We could do with some real heat in the uk, right now its grey and muggy and threatening to.rain!

good luck on your run and take care!

 

[mumface26]

Omg! in dp's office where he works another girl has just got her bfp and she wasnt even trying!
Thats now 3 women and two of which were not even trying.
Always the ones who have the accidents get their bfp.
Never mind. Dp will have his own announcement very very soon!

Fingers crossed this is your cycle.

I've been a bit down the last few days about TTC. A friend at work has just become a dad and even though I'm sooo happy for him, I can't help but feel jealous and wonder when it will be my turn. Today though, I feel a lot more positive and I'm determined that this will be our cycle. I have my own set of tarot cards and do readings for myself every now and then. I've just done a reading and asked the angels if this was my cycle. I pulled out three cards. The first one I turned over was Isaiah. The clue was in the picture....a picture of a pregnant woman. After reading the card I'm convinced I will do all I can to make this my cycle. I'm praying it is. I don't want to have to keep my scan appointment in September. I'd prefer to have it sooner for a totally different reason xx

Good luck i hope its your cycle!
We now have 12 bfps on this thread thats amazing!

 

[mumface26]

I have felt very strange since monday.
I have felt dizzy even whilst sitting.
I have had 2 bowel movements a day since monday. Tmi i know but its not like me.
I am suddenly drinking cappocinnos and i dont like coffee much. Today i fancied some sardines??
i am off a lot of foods. Im hungry but feel sickly after eating and i was sick after a macdonalds on wednesday.
My nipples feel bruised.
I am very thirsty.
I am irritable and could cry at anything.
I am cd42 and scared to test but i will test next weekend as this,may be pms.
I bet it is.
My eldest sister has pcos so now i know where mine came from! She has 1 girl so there is hope!

I will hold off and test next weekend as i dont think i could handle a bfn right now as i feel emotional.

We realised we were not doing ourselves any favours worrying about ttc in this quest to get a bfp by xmas. It will happen when its ready to happen either naturally or with help from a fs.
Thats my new way of thinking.

I did an opk on thursday and it was faint but i think i o'd last weekend. All i wanted was lots of and i had cramps and lots of cm!

take care guys! We can do this!!!

ooohhhhh mumface I can't wait for you to test!

Good luck for this cycle MrsC10. Reeeeaaalllllly hope we get to put more bfps in this group really soon!

AFM, AF arrived this morning, full force. So now I am on to my last drug cycle. I feel like I have been a bit fobbmed off with it all tbh, because the two clomid cycles that I did were without a trigger, meaning that there was basically no chance of me even getting pregnant, and now this cycle, because of having too many follicles, they refused to give me the trigger, meaning I had slim chances this month as well! So after all that, I am really only having next cycle with any sort of chance of it actually working! It's actually quite stressful, and upsetting.

 

[mumface26]

Nlk lets hope the next cycle is the one!

My nipples are sore and i have read progesterone is responsible for this meaning there was a chance i ovulated (or tried to) last weekend when i thought i was!
I read over my diary from my last cycle and i had sore nipples until 3 days before af. Im cd 42 so af must be on the way. Move on to my next cycle.....hopefully catch the egg if i release one!
My cm is almost gone too, a sure sign af is coming.

I will be praying for you. I feel like there is always a chance. I have to believe there is because lately I've been feeling like there is no chance for me. It's like I keep getting all these roadblocks.
