Peekay glad to hear u r ok! Yes the whole chin up thing is a bit of a drag. I am seeing Dr Asish Das at City Fertility Group he is really great we were seeing someone else before but they were not as great as the team at CFG. Our next round is starts with a visit on the 28th Aug and I am getting excited about it all now and hope that it will go well. New to this chat thing thanks for the wishes. I know Dr Das is fairly booked but he is worth the wait!
Ticklish, I'm pretty sure that they won't have to remove the ovary at this stage. From all my reading, most "big dermoids" are over 5cm and can get huge. So in the grand scheme of things, mine isn't that big.
I guess I'm so worried because when it was first diagnosed, my then GP said she would be reluctant to remove it before I conceive as it "may compromise your (my)fertility further". They were her exact words. I'm seeing someone different now so I'll be interested to hear what she says now that it has grown. I think ultimately though I will have to wait until I see the spec until I know for sure what course of treatment will be taken.
I'm on the 'cancellations list' at the spec so I'm hoping that an appointment will come up before 13th September.
Have you done another HPT??
tiggerlinda- all the best for your appointment- not long now! Is CFG the same as the Queensland Fertility Centre/Group? My sister in law recommended Scott Salisbury to me who works there. I already had this appointment, so I figured I'd go along to this one and if I'm unhappy I'll ask for a referral there.
Hi Peekay,
I have done 2 more tests - same result. Still no AF! AARRGH - I was doing so well with regular AF first time ever. With PCOS, you never know when she might go AWOL.
Hope all is well with you.

Sorry to hear that ticklish. It's so hard with PCOS to know what's happening isn't it? For women without PCOS who have a long cycle, it's easy to be optimisitic and say "it may be late ovulation" or "it might be a BFP and too early to show". With PCOS, you are right- you never know what will happen and there often isn't an explanation. It's a big part of the frustration I think we all feel. There's no rhyme or reason to this syndrome. Some ovulate, some don't; some have AF, some don't; some have weight issues, some don't; some have acne, some don't. It's a BFP (BIG FAT PAIN!)
I'm OK thanks. Still waiting for 13th September (32 more sleeps!) so I can find out if I need a lap to have my dermoid removed/ or start clomid. I'm freaking out about it a bit- the fear of surgery more than anything. I just need to be put out of misery and find out what's going to happen!
Hi Peekay,
AF has gone AWOL - official result from the BT!
I think I will go to the gym this week and whip my jelly legs and bottom into shape to help the cycles! I was 2 stone lighter when DS was concieved - I am not even overweight now!! Just heavier!!
Only 31 sleeps for you now!

I'm feeling much better than last week! I think it was just a bad week for me and after being a big sooky la-la I feel OK.
tiggerlinda- I hate being bored too! I guess I'm lucky in a way- with my work, I am NEVER bored- the children keep me way too busy for this to happen. While it's tiring, it really passes the time quickly. I made my spec. appointment 6 weeks ago now and I thought it would take forever (10 week wait). When I look back, though, it has gone really fast. Only 31 sleeps to go!
Hi to you too LizJessie- hope all is well for you!
Ticklish- Sorry to hear about AF. Stupid AF. Does working out really help?? As you know, I'm not overweight, but haven't been to the gym since going off BCP. I was just saying to my girlfriend who I go with that we need to get back into it! Do you think it would help in my situation? I know it won't hurt, and it always makes me feel great. I just need some tiny little thing that will keep me hoping- and when that gets fizzled out I look for something else. Exercise might just be what I need both physically and emotionally- stupid eh?
Take care!

I haven't been to the gym yet, got study to do today - but yes, exercise can help - even if it is just for a bit of stress relief and to get the endorphins flowing - not stupid at all. I'd say go for it!
I am actually at a weight where my AF has always disappeared in the past - never to return until I lost weight. I thought being post-baby was helping the AF because I was regular. In the past, being lighter definitely has helped the AF - although not always regular!. I lost 3 stone in the 2 years before we even started to TTC and it seemed to help - managed to concieve twice when we were told it was unlikely to ever happen. Weight is not a problem in your case - a little bit my problem now!
Now back to the study - better check the gym timetable too!
