I hope you don't mind if I join this group - I have been reading your posts for awhile and I can relate to so many of you!!
I have PCOS and I am insulin resistant we have been ttc for just over a year. I have been on 500 x 1 met for 3 weeks now with little side effects and I started temping this month aswell. The temping is a little confusing as I have had two jumps in temp in the last week and now I am unsure when I have ovulated!! so we are just baby dancing all the time!
We have had more bad news yesterday with my husband finding out he may have a low sperm count - I am off to my FS tommorrow to have her look at the results because his GP really wasn't helpful!! My FS wants me to go on clomid but I am now unsure if this can happen if he has a low sperm count - does anyone know??
31becc - Sorry to hear that AF is giving you grief - I hope you're feeling better now. Great news that you're O'ing though - I hope the preseed helps and gets you a BFP this cycle
Mahli - Hi & Welcome I hope the Met sorts things out for you - it did for me! I'm the worst person to talk to about temping .... I just don't do it because I get too frustrated with it. I prefer my OPK's - a LOT of people have told me that OPK's don't work for us PCOS girls but they work for me. I've also been told that 'Maybe Baby' won't work and for me, that's true *shrug* I think regular BD'ing is the only way to go when you have no idea when O was or is - that way you know that you've given yourself every chance and there's no regrets at the end of the cycle (you know, that sense of satisfaction knowing that you did everything you could?). Depending on the problem with your DH's sperm, the FS may suggest you go straight to IVF (or ICSI?) or he may be happy for you to proceed with the Met & Clomid - the Clomid will get you O'ing with more eggy's so I guess it can't hurt to give DH's spermy's more targets I hope the FS has some good news for you
AFM - Well AF played a trick on me and arrived a day late - getting my hopes up when she didn't arrive on time Oh well, here we are on CD1 of Cycle # 5 and AF is being a witch!
Hey girls - I had to go and get an urgent PT done even though I had AF - because I was in sooooo much pain. But turned out negative~ Apparently it can happen!
Welcome Mahli - I use the OPT - my FS recommends I use Seritec brand - you can get O tests from lullaby conceptions (website) though and buy in bulk and they are a lot cheaper than from the chemist and then POS every day after you you finish AF's. I did the temping thing and it really stresses you. I could not pin point the day for O doing that - but no wonder wasn't Oing!
Kylie - you poor thing - fingers crossed for this month. I feel for you - can understand with the hormonal thing prior to AF - I turn into a witch! My poor husband! I don't start taking my chlomid until day 5 - so on Thursday! Good luck
Welcome Musik to the link - this is a great link - I am about to start #3 on Chlomid - first month was OK, but 2nd gave me hell - absolutely shocked. Felt like from my ribs down was bruised both on my back and front - I hope you don't get side effects like this.
Baby dust to everyone!
31becc - Oh no! You poor bugger! Has the pain stopped now? Do they know what caused it? I find that if I have a bad cycle then AF is going to be a shocker too. I'm sorry about the BFN and I hope that this cycle is good to you! I start Clomid on Saturday (CD 5-9) so it looks like I'll be following you through this cycle. How long is your cycle?
Thank you to all you lovely ladies that have been a support to me... Thanks for your well wishes and I hope that you will all have big fat BFP's before long and that you don't have to folow the same path as me...
So sorry Bec and Kylie that AF reared her nasty head.. i was really hoping that there would be some good news...
Hey Bonnie and Musik - How are you both travelling.. I hope the Clomid is not messing you around too much... Mahli09 - I hope that you can get your cycle sorted out and that your FS can give you some answers about DH's sample.. When my DH had his first SA our GP thought it was tragic but when I met my FS for the first time he assured me his sample was normal... I don't think GP's know that much about these things.. I hope your FS can help...I was temping and it worked for me because I don't have PCOS so my cycle is regular and as it only pinpoints "O" after it has happened it's prob no good for cycles that vary so much.. Good luck if you go the OPK's... Tammara - I had a great night out with the girls... I had a big fish bowl ****tail... Mmm yummy.. I hope you're travelling well...
AFM - I have my FS appointment on the 2nd March where I guess we work out our schedule from there.. I was thinking I could maybe start an IVF cycle 2 weeks after that which is when AF would be due again but I now have to go away for 2 weeks for work in that month.. Kinda 1 week home then the other away then 1 week home then away again so I think it might be too hard to start before that's out of the way.. bugger.. i guess i'm on a break.. lol.. I will still lurk and check on you all and if you want to visit and say Hi I have a TTC journal on here.. Take care
Dee
Kylie - last month it was 32 days, but it ranges. How long is yours? Prior to going on chlomid it was all over the place - ranging from 21 days to 44 and then sometimes not getting them - so a bit stressy.
The pain has stopped and I have already finished AF - yesterday! They don't know what caused it, they thought it might of been an EP - but wasn't, so they are monitoring me this month, even more closely!~ It was horrid feeling. Hopefully it doesn't happen this month again.
Good luck Dee with the IVF - hopefully it works for you. Fingers Crossed
Ive been reading your posts and find it a little funny that while you girls are dreading AF, for once i am looking forward to it so i can start taking the clomid lol no doubt in a couple of months i will be dreading it also
PS - not funny that you are getting AF but im sure you know what i mean
yesterday with my husband finding out he may have a low sperm count - I am off to my FS tommorrow to have her look at the results because his GP really wasn't helpful!! My FS wants me to go on clomid but I am now unsure if this can happen if he has a low sperm count - does anyone know??
I hope the FS has some good news for you
