Just informed by my doc that she'd like to try Clomid/Met on me.

I am borderline PCOS but not actually, my testosterone and has always been very high but my other levels are just below typical PCOS. I've always had pretty regular periods. In fact, our first baby was suuuper easy--we got pregnant first month we tried (and I was almost 38). This time we've tried for about 8 months, and as I've just turned 41 and my hormones are borderline challenging, she's suggested we give this a go.

We're super lucky to have our DD, and if this doesn't work we won't be doing IVF or anything any more "invasive" than trying these pills. I am however worried about the mood swings and how "invasive" even that will be on my relationship. Reading this helped me. I am not scared, just know that my hormones already tend me to some trouble about a week before my period anyhow. I will have to talk to him and ask him to help me through this.

Welcome! I hope that you get super speedy results on Clomid & Met. You will get tons of info & support, which you will need when starting Clomid - as you would have read some of the side effects are shocking. Just post away & we'll be here to get you through

Morning Ladies,

Pumpgirl, glad the info could help. Totally agree with not letting TTC run your life, I found this very hard however, good on you. GL for your BT today, any luck with the Lysine?

Bec, ooooooh nauseous hey? That is always a good sign, have you had it in the past when you’ve tested positive?

Porsche, any sign of AF yet? Cant wait for you to get started with IVF.

Miss Kris, GL with your O BT results, fingers crossed it will be your first of 2 positives this month, IYKWIM. Oh that is fantastic news about your cousin, congratulations to her and her DH. They say that having a bub can clear things up, fingers crossed hey!

Rhi, how’s everything going with you hun? When does IVF start?

BumBumG, welcome to this wonderful forum. I hope your stay is short and sweet.

AFM: I firstly just wanted to say….I am hooked on this thread. I can’t stop reading it and putting my 2 cents worth in, I truly hope that I am not offending anyone by doing this. I truly do understand the journey you are all travelling as TTC was a very long journey for us too. I just can’t wait for you all to get that long awaited BFP which I know you will all get. If I am upsetting anyone by continuing to post, please let me know and I will not be offended in the slightest. I try not to give too regular updates on myself, I just update when asked. Please do not feel that any of you have to ask about how I am going though, I have another forum to talk about myself, lol, but am also happy to answer any questions you may have. I just like to hang around and help wherever possible, support where needed and just be another listening ear.
Please let me know if this makes anyone uncomfortable and I will stop immediately.
Nah, I love the 'graduates' hanging around. We have all been through so much together

Keli - I love hearing from you! So don't feel bad about posting here still, plus its always good to use you as an example of see it will happen to us, iykwim?!

BumBumG - Welcome!! Hope your stay is short!!

Porshe - GL with the first round! Hopefully things work for you!!

Well, this morning it got the better of me...i tested...it was a BFN which i was totally expecting, i actually poas and then this voice in my head goes "kristina you idiot you know its going to be negative!! its too early! try again in a couple of days" lol so i went to bed without even looking at the test. When i came back for a shower i had a quick peek then binned it... but surprisingly, it didn't upset me too much cos i know it was way too early! lol FX that its a positive on thursday morning! lol

Also, does anyone here chart? I just noticed that yesterday and day before i was having really bad cramps, and then this morning i had a temp drop from 36.8 which it has been the last few days to 36.6. Its still above the cover line, and as i am techincally 10DPO i wonder if its an implantation dip? WTYT?
Funny how you just know that a test will be negative..... GL for the next time when you test - FX

I used to chart & it did my head in - my temps never showed a definate rise high enough to confirm O.... It could be an implantation dip, but it will be easier to tell when comparing over the next couple of days.


AFM - Well I have been avoiding this b/c I know alot of you have been having a rough tot but I am UTD... I actually took a pg test Sunday arvo and a feint second line come up.

This was the chain of events:

DH: Hands me the pg test which has three tests in it - he knows I couldn't possibly only use one!

Me: POAS....

DH: 2 seconds later - 'What's the verdict?'

Me: 'It's not three minutes yet, so we have to wait a bit more' (checking the test in the meantime my heatbeat raises a little when I see a very feint line in the test window but tell myself it is probably an evap line like last time.

Me: Keep cleaning the bathroom then go check the time & it's been just over three minutes....

Me: Yell to DH ' Well there are two lines....' then go back to cleaning the shower

DH: "What?!' 'Geez that was a casual announcement'

Me: 'Yeah, well when you have been through what we have (4 m/c & 21 mths of ttc # 2) it's hard to get excited'

DH: 'Well I am really excited! When is your due date?'

Me: (calculating in my head) 'Sometime in March'...... hop on internet to confirm dates... 'Looks like approx. 22nd/23rd March & it will be an Aries baby. Looks up if mine & DH star sign is compatible - which it is not ;P

So, apart from you guys we have told nobody, not even our parents or sibilings. I am disbelief, shock even and keep looking at the test incase the line disappears. I am also terrified of having another m/c, but DH is being extremely optimistic and his positivity is somewhat additive. I have not even cancelled our FS appt for the 28th July nor made an appt with the OBS. I would usually ring up & get a referral from the Dr's straight away but that's another thing I haven't done. I have no PS - am feeling very well apart from some on & off cramping which I had with DD.

I hope that my post has not upset you, I was trying to hold off for as long as possible but knew that it would be too difficult as I am on 'CD 36'.

I hope that I can hang around at least until our first u/s which will be around 7 weeks.
The other things that is a bit eerie is I was thinking about what the psychic said to me & she kept quoting the pantene ad ' it won't happen over night but it will happen' All along I was thinking she meant doing IUI (equivalent) but then at yoga one of the women said the same quote and I did this double take then laughed it off..... now I am thinking maybe that was my queue to confirm it?

Thinking of you all & I just want to say thank-you so much for being such good friends. I really couldn't have gotten through this without all of you.
