Oh girls, thank you for your support, it means alot that I can come here and talk to women who know what I am feeling and what I am going through. Its hard to talk to your friends, because they haven't got the foggiest idea what it is REALLY like... so a huge thank you xxoo

Megs - I have tried everything. I used clomid first off when I was TTC years ago and it didn't work for me, then went to AIH and then IVF. I have used clomid about 3 months ago and it did nothing. So I obviously don't respond to it at all, which is frustrating in itself. I had been telling myself all the last month that this was the cycle that I was going to fall pg on, being very positive about it, but again, its just not happening. I am at CD 34 today, and I usually O on CD35 (well, thats been the pattern for the last few cycles, but who knows what this cycle will bring).

Going back to the herbalist today and the acupuncturist this evening so I'll be telling them how I am feeling and that my cycle just isn't consolidating at all.

Its really frustrating because seriously everything that I have tried that has worked wonders for other women with PCOS hasn't worked for me. I get on to something that has worked miracles with other women and then I get disappointed when it doesn't have the same effect on me. I need to pull my head in though and realise that everyone is different and it wont always be the same for my body.

Considering that I am really emotional at the moment, I guess it could be a sign that O is on its way? Who knows....

Hi Bathsheba, welcome to this little thread that we have here. Sorry for being a bit of a wet blanket. I promise I will be happier from now on. Tee he he! Wow I can't believe that you have only just found out about your PCOS. Its great that you have only got a couple of symptoms and that you were able to conceive easily. See, there IS hope for us! LOL! Thanks for the acclaim re the thread. I thought it might be a nice supportive place for PCOS women to come to, so its great to get that feedback.

Im glad I've inspired you to start with acupuncture. It has certainly worked for me. I definitely feel more grounded and generally "settled" in myself. Sleeping much better and finding that I wake absolutely rested, instead of more and more tired each day.

Hi Lynn, how are you? I haven't been monitored for cycles since we did IVF with Coby, I just don't want to go down that route again if I can possibly avoid it. If it comes to it though, perhaps monitoring for a cycle or two wouldn't hurt...Might look more into it shortly. How is the pg going?

Just a quick question, do any of you gain weight with PCOS? Not sure if anyone has already said this or not...Im not overweight, but have a few kilos I'd like to shift and just can't, I'd love to lose about 2-4kg and just can't...

Anyway thanks again girls for lifting me up. I feel much better today xxoo

what have you all been doing for the last few weekends? Anything exciting?
