Ok,so its my turn to fill you in. Saw the fs yesterday. There is nothing wrong with me. thats right nothing. No pcos. Looks like the theatre nurse got it wrong.I am strappingly healthy. My haemoglobin was great, my liver ok,my hormone levels good. All other tests good too. he even said to go off the fgf because my iron levels were fantastic. he just said take 500mg once a day of folic acid. i'll finish this bottle of fgf just the same. So i just dont ovulate(at the moment anyway). He said there were no follicles on the ovaries. i was like whats that?He then explained.He cant understand why i'm bleeding intermittantly because there is no medical reason for it.I said cant ya just give me a tablet to make it stop. He said "NO",then you'll never get pregnant. Anyway i get up this morning and she's GONE. Yippeeyiaaahay.... So tomorrow i start on clomid. I AM SCARED. The cpi inside the box is huge(hows all the side effects-I was like omg). He has put me on one a day for 5 days. I said its cool you can give me more and he said he didnt think it would take much to give me a kick start and was worried about hyperstimulation. Then i have a blood test on the 27th. Its all scarey but exciting at the same time.Terrified of side effects though.Maybe i'll be lucky.
Monnie;What wonderful news. Congratulations. you are so very lucky. all the best for an easy and happy pregnancy. Was that good news after your first clomid cycle?
BW:Keep counting those work days till you get a holiday it'll keep you sane. i'm doing the opposite. i'm counting till i get back to work as i'm bored now.
Willow:Hello stranger. Long time no hear from. Yes i was thinking the c word...CANCER. but i'm all good.. Fingers crossed for a much much better year next year. How is your mum going?I've been meaning to ask?
Angelbabies3:I was wondering how you have been ?I'm hoping you are well.I see you are also looking foward to the new year.Is it because this one was crap or because you get holidays?
Ktgirl:Thankyou so much for your warm thoughts. i appreciate it a lot.
Katkins:Yes you were right on the money it was cancer i was worried about as mum has had previous surgeries for pre cancer, so it always is an undercurrent in my mind.
I hope everybody is having a great week. Thinking of you all.
Walking Art, welcome. I have been in this thread for a long time in a similar situation to you. I have PCOS and was on metformin alone for a long time. Did bugger all for me, though I hope it is better for you.
As for inducing AF to end a long cycle - you can use provera which is basically an artificial progesterone which gives your body a pretend luteal phase. When you stop taking it, AF arrives. My longest cycle which ended naturally was something like 78 days. I've had another one which got to 79 before the provera-induced AF arrived. It's not fun!
Pauline, very glad to hear that you got good news from the FS. Sportychick has just conceived recently after a similar situation to yours - went off the pill and nothing happened. She had a couple of clomid cycles which seemed to remind her body what to do naturally and she conceived on her second natural cycle after she stopped clomid. Hopefully that story gives you a bit of hope.
I hope it is better for you.
