Thanks for the encouragement. It can get a little lonely when you're dealing with this sort of thing, you don't really think it'll ever be you going through it.. Great to know there are other people who we can all talk to about it and from what I can see many people do have success with conceiving etc. My sister also has PCOS and has 4 year old Twins and another little baby, so I'm not completely freaking out yet, but I do want to stay informed and know about everything I can do to increase my chances... Until then I'll keep reading through the posts and will keep track of all of your progress....
hey,
sorry i cant recommend anyone from melb coz im not from there.
neane, pregnancy is going well. My doc did all the necessary blood tests and they all came back fine, he said my hormones are going up nicley. Had an appointment with my midwife yesterday and she doesnt want to see me again till im 13 weeks coz she said everything is going just fine. These past few days i have been feeling abit off with the nausea and everything, but hey, its all worth it in the end.
Hey Holly does the title let you know how i am going... I know i shouldn't complain and I know around the seven week mark the baby/fetus/peanut is doubling in size the hormones are going right out of wack and i feel sick 24/7. Had my first scan yesterday afternoon and have a pic my gynae didn't turn the sound on so we didn't hear the heartbeat but everything is great good position and all that stuff. he wants to see me at 10 weeks for any bloods that i need to have done rescan, then i have to go back at 12 weeks and they look for any signs of down's syndrome, apparently they do this for all women now. Fruit tingles are a god send because they make me burp and i feel better for a few minutes.
Aww i know how you feel about the whole sickness thing. Im over it already These past couple of days i have begin to feel extreamly s***. I havent had a scan yet coz the doc said i wouldnt be able to see anything anyway. I wanted to have a scan tho. Yeah i have to have the down sydrome blood test at 10 weeks and the ultrasound at 12 weeks. It is something they all do now. I just kinda wish they would let me have an early scan. Apart from that everything seems to be going just fine. My doc told me that my PCOS wont have any affect on the pregnancy as it just affects the "getting pregnant" part. So that was some good news. Did u have the routine blood and urine tests done?? the one where they test for everything from infection to HIV?? didnt realise there would be so much testing, lol..
I have gone off a few things. I hate anything that has any salt in it lol..
anyway take care and ill talk to you soon xoxox

: written things in twice
hi i am new and in need of support, i have pco but not the s, i have known for 3 years but have only been trying to get pregers for 1 year with no luck, i am on metformin and about to be refered to the fertility clinic, i struggle every day and feel no one understands because the only person i know that has pco is my sister and she has two children!! it also seems that at the moment everyone i know is getting pregnant and although i am pleased for them it just makes me cry and i struggle when i have to have contact with babys because it makes my heart ache so much i cant bare it, why is life so cruel????
welcome.. I also have pcos ( dont think adding the "s" is a huge difference). I was TTC for 2 years with no luck, so dont worry your not alone. I tried metformin but nothing happened for me. So my gyno put me on clomid and i started a weight loss program and lost 11 kilos and on my first cycle of clomid i got pregnant. Please dont be scared about having pcos, we are all here to help you as much as possible.
I understand where ur coming from when u say u cry when u hear all the people around u are pregnant. I always felt like i had failed, why wasnt i able to do the normal fall preg thing like everyone around me??? But the truth is, u can, and the more determination u have the better chance.
How was ur polycystic ovaries discovered? is metformin the only thing ur on???
Take care and sending you lots and lots and lots of
my name is ami im 21 and was diagnosed with pcos when i was 13 i never tried chlorim or anything my gyneo put me on a few different types of the pill but they all made me sick then her brilliant idea of just keeping an eye on my ovaries and hopefully it will jus go away cause of my age theory didnt work and on my 16th birthday cysts started to burst. I dont wish that on anyone cause its bloody painful lol
I was always told i wouldnt be able to concieve as the hospital would always just give me painkillers and send me home when the cysts burst and lter on i found out that the fluid inside the cysts can scare you to stop you from having children
but less about the scary stuff i proved the doctors wrong and fell pregnant.
hollye- my emotions were the same as yours except i bought 2twin packs of tests cause i thought the first twipack was lying to me. then when the doctor confirmed it i was happy and crying
Angelzz- when i first found out i was scared to and kept asking why my body but then i realised (and im sorry if this offends some) there are people out there worse off than me at least i can still live basically a normal life i have all my friends and do everyday things that i have always doneand thats when i stopped being scared about pcos i saw it as a growing step for me, and knowing that i had it and the obstacles it decided to throw me i grew stronger a a person, but just remember you do have control over your body cause you can still do everything you have always done im not toure about the chinese herbal stuff but one good piece of advice i could give you would be DONT STRESS i fell preg and miscarried and then we tried again but i was stressing about trying to fall preg and i tink thats why i didnt but then we moved away and stopped thinking about it and it came naturally so big thing DONT STRESS LOL
Neane- Morning sickness that lasts all day? i hear ya hunni
my partner owns a family business that does interstate truck driving from perth -sydney/melbourne and when we first found out i was preg i was ihe truck with him for 2 weeks and had the worst sickness i could only live on vegemite toast and crackers. Have you tried drinking salvital? you can get it from the supermarket it tastes a bit odd but it replensihes your body of all of the salts and sugars it has lost.
Hope all you girls are going really well in your pregnancy's
oh also hollye yeah ur doc is right the pcos gets basically cancelled out by the baby while your preg lol sounds wierd but true at least its one less thing to stress about during the pregnancy
First congrats on ur preg..not to long to wait now. Im pretty nervous about this pregnancy. I just can not wait till i get to 12 weeks. Now that im in week 7 im spending most of the day in bed coz of the m/s. i have no energy and just feel yuk.
Anyway welcome to our little group and take care..xoxo
Thanks
