BW Good luck to you for your appointment next week. I hope you are able to get the answers you need hun. Not long now til the holidays. Do you know if you will be working at the same school next year?? I think I read a while ago that you were unsure of where you would be next year???
Ktgirl I'm so pleased that you don't have to leave this wondreful thread. How are you today hun??? I hope the witch is staying away.
Willow I was also unaware that the risk of m/c is higher in women who take clomid. Thank you for letting me know. How are you doing today?
Pollyanna Hello sweet. I hope you are ok. When is your birthday. Just need to know this as you said we should be both b'ding that day.
Flowerchild, Walking Art, BeiBei and all you other fantastic ladies in here, I hope you are all having a good day.
As for me I started clomid last night so am praying that the combination of meds work this time around. I don't think I've ever had to take so many pills in one go as I do atm lol. The things we must do hey!!! I also had a job interview today so I hope I am successful with that. I'm desperate for a new job. Will find out tomorrow if I move on to next stage of interview process. Today was the second stage.
Aww Ktgirl I'm sorry we must have been posting at the same time.
I'm so sorry that the witch showed her face today. I hope she treats you kindly. I also want to wish you all the best for your next IUI. You will get your much wanted bfp soon hun, I can just feel it. Keep your chin up and know that I'm thinking of you.
The metformin seems to hit me every second night for some reason. Weird hey.
What Deb has said is correct. The insulin resistance that causes PCOS mucks up all hormones which mucks up all processes that rely on hormones. Having PCOS also leaves you at a higher risk of developing gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes later in life... sounds wonderful, doesn't it! But that's all part of the reason that PCOS needs to be seen as a condition to be managed through your whole life, not just when TTC. Using clomid doesn't increase the risk of miscarriage, that comes about with the underlying problems that result in clomid usage. Clomid also doesn't increase the risk of birth defects or other problems.
Deb, the one thing I'm having trouble with at the moment is knowing where to start looking for answers. I don't have enough of a medical background to understand all the research papers - my degree is in chemistry, not biology! If there's anything you can direct me to that is in plain, simple everyday language that would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, something that I can give to my doctors to show that my concerns aren't completely unfounded, or that I can get my friend to translate for me would also be quite useful.
I'm in a really strange mood... grumpy, and with that awful feeling of dread that I'm about to get into trouble for something or other... I hope it passes soon... not happy!
