Thank you.

I didn't have a hsg test I just had bloods and an ultrasound and was prescribed clomid.

You know I said that one of my friends was pregnant with her douchy boyfriend? She's just told me the hospital are pretty sure she's having a m/c she's had one before, years ago before she had her son (he's 3). She noticed she was bleeding a bit and had pain so went to the hospital and they did a scan and said they were almost certain she had lost it. She has to go back on tuesday for another scan but the bleeding has got steadily worse. As much of a douche her bf is, nobody should have to go through that

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Sue, no hsg.... They told me if no bfp within 3 months then they'd do one

 

[CocoMia]

No Nexis, no one should have to go through that, you're right!

It's an awful thing that I know many women on here have had to deal with and my thoughts go out to your friend (and you who I'm sure will be there for her over the next couple of tough weeks )

KATERZ!! That's the best news congratulations

I think this is the luckiest group and at this rate we're all going to need to start a new thread when we all have bubs on the way

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend and those who have had visit I hope you are being spoilt, taking it easy and eating as much chocolate as i am

Sorry I've been missing for a few days. I've just been stalking, quietly, because I needed some time to think about everything, and get my head together again.

Firstly, congrats, Katerz!! I've updated the page for you Also, welcome/welcome back to all the others, I notice a few people have appeared again after not being here for a while?! Welcome, anyways

So after my second round of letrozole, my scan showed that I won't ovulate...and I now don't have a follow up until the 3rd August, which means I'm just sitting here, with no chance of ovulating, and no AF. Pissed does not even begin to explain how I've been feeling, which is why I've not been in for a while. Anyways, I've spent myy time thinking about what to say when they call me tomorrow and tell me what they want me to do until 3rd August, if anything. This is what I decided:

Spoiler

I want another scan, this coming week. I have still been having twinges, which I recognise as pains I get when my follies are growing. I just want to make sure that I'm not ovulating before I take any provera or start another round of drugs, if they want me to start before the follow up.

I've also thought about what I want to ask at my follow up, just in case they don't agree to giving me another scan, or that the scan shows that I haven't, as suspected, responded to letrozole. So far I have....

Spoiler

1. I want to talk about the option of looking into endometriosis. I have a few weeks where I won't be masively busy, and want to see whether I could get the surgery to see whether I have it. I'm never going to get pregnant purely because of the fact that I find sex so damn painful. It's not normal, and I don't feel like I should have to keep suffering. And, if they do find endometriosis, then that could be making it even harder for me to get pregnant.

2. I want to ask whether they would be willing to give me clomid and letrozole on alternating months. So one round of clomid, then a round of letrozole, and so on. I seem to respond to the first cycle of each drug, and then it randomly stops working. This is bizarre, and they have said it shouldn't do that. It clearly does, and I don't want to be told I'm resistant to another if I'm not to either.

3. I want to ask about the option of ovarian drilling. I understand this seems a bit extreme, but I don't want to just be dumped onto drugs which may or may not work. This option will be my choice if they are not willing to alternate months of treatment.

I just wanted to have some of your input. Do you think there are any other options that I should be considering? This is a ridiculously long post, so sorry about that, but I need to feel a tiny bit of control again in this situation. I wanted to be pregnant before I graduated, which is now on Thursday, which clearly is out the window. So now my new target is Christmas. I need all the help I can get!

If you're still reading, thanks. What else can I ask, or suggest?

 

[StellaBella24]

Hi nlk.
So sorry to hear things are not going great at the moment but I think it's good that you have formulated a plan and list of questions. I really believe we have to push our doctors and therefore we need to be informed before we meet with them.

My new aim is to be pregnant by Christmas too and I am being very positive at the moment...it will happen for us!!!

Sorry I cant be much help, but am thinking of you anyway.xx

Thank you.

Sue, no hsg.... They told me if no bfp within 3 months then they'd do one

Thanks both!

I've had ultrasound scan which found PCOS and then day 21 bloods.
Really can't handle anymore bloods or scans or tests ! I've got my fingers crossed for a couple of months of clomid before anymore yuckiness!

Congrats Katerz such great news!

Things are horrible here. I got my a heavy period 10 days early. Bled all over the bed while I was asleep. I feel like crying everyone. My cycles are all screwed up. I went from having all 32 day cycles to a 27 day cycle last time to a 22 day cycle this time.

I just want to give up. All I do is get my period. Never a baby. Never...

hang in there! at least you get your periods on your own and at least thats one less thing you have to worry about. it will happen even if we dont believe it will
Good luck girl we need to keep each others heads up on here and if you wanna vent then vent thats what this forum is for

 

[mumface26]

Irregular periods suck so much! Especially when it gets you in the night.
I hope i dont have another 53 day cycle.
Nlk i hope you get the answers and help you need. Doctors can be so dismissive when you are ttc even when they know theres an issue.
I feel so sad today. Any day this week my great niece will arrive,im not jealois but very emotional. It will be happy day when she comes, im welling up now.....on a bus......ok its passed.....dp doesnt get why i am so emotional about it as he firmly believes we wont need meds or proding and poking but i beg to differ.....

I hope everyone is ok.

 

[CocoMia]

Mumface - I know what it's like to feel so up and down about it. I start to feel positive after every appointment then as soon as we're home and I'm left hoping my body is does what it's meant to I just feel like such a let down.

Sometimes the positivity from my BF makes me feel worse which sounds stupid but it's like I don't like how I'm the only one of us who feels so completely distraught about it all...

It also catches you by surprise I find; like it will hit me at work when someone innocently asks me how I am (even when they don't know anything about it!)

Thinking of you hun

Thank you, I just feel so low. I feel like all I do is bleed. I am not good at ovulating or anything else. I just get my period.

 

[StayHopeful]

Congrats, Katerz and hugs to everyone who is having a rough time right now!

 

[mumface26]

Im cd5 now and af has turned into sticky brown discharge its almost over! No cramps or nothing.
But can i ask you fellow pcosrs, do you feel constant cramping throughout your cycle no matter how long or short it is? Cramps like af but less intense. My doctor says its my ovaries waking up after bcp use but would it be the pcos? Like a cyst acting up. These cramps last for days, stop for a day or two then start up again leaving me thinking implantation, ovulation or af. Confusing!
Anyone 2nd this?

Xxxx

 

[mumface26]

One more question. Lots of mixed oponions on the internet to this one......
If i have a period does it mean i ovulated? My doctor says yes you must be ovulation to have a period. But other websites say not all of the time.
On this one i am going with my doctors answer but any views on this question?

I can second this. I've had a lot of cramping but haven't ovulated since november so it can't be down to that.

 

[CocoMia]

Grrr to my vanshing posts again!

I have lots of cramping and sharp pains that seem to coincide with more positive looking OPK's(still never had a true +)

I had crippling cramps on Sunday after getting a stonger second line 3 times on an OPK on Saturday so thinking I had ovulated DTD 3 times at the weekend but I've just tested now and again yesterday and still have a strong looking second line?!

I think you're right and the cramps could be related to the PCOS but also because my body still hasn't rid itself of the BCP apparently that it's stuggling to release an egg? To add to that my latest ultrasound said it was my badly affected ovary that seemed to be causing these prolonged ovulation signs/periods...

very confusing but it seems OPK's might help to explain the cramps but can't do much for ovulation as our raised LH levels are just misleading.... I still don't know if I've O'd???
